A Texan who was reported missing as a teenager in 2015 returned home the next day but he and his mother deceived officers by giving false names over the ensuing 8 years, according to police.
HOUSTON — A Texan who was reported missing as a teenager in 2015 returned home the next day but he and his mother deceived officers by giving false names over the ensuing eight years, police said Thursday.
The announcement came a week after police said they found Farias after receiving a call about a person lying on the ground in front of a southeast Houston church. "After investigators talked with him yesterday, it was discovered that Rudy returned home the following day on March 8, 2015," Lt. Christopher Zamora said during a news conference. "The mother, Janie, continued to deceive police by remaining adamant that Rudy was still missing."
In the years following, there were several possible sightings of Farias, according to a private investigator hired by the teen′s mother a few months after he went missing. They included one sighting in 2018 that police responded to, but the investigation remained open as a missing person case.
