Houston police during a news briefing this morning said they were deceived for years about 25-year-old Rudolph “Rudy” Farias IV, who was reported missing eight years ago.

Craig Huber and Associated PressHOUSTON — The case of 25-year-old Rudolph “Rudy” Farias IV made headlines across the country last week. He was reported missing eight years ago, and last week was "discovered" lying on the ground outside a southeast Houston church.
Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said that officers made contact with Farias on multiple occasions while he was listed as missing, but that he and his mother deceived them by providing false names. His mother in a statement said he was mostly nonverbal and would only say a few words before going into fetal position.
After Farias was reported missing, Houston police and Texas EquuSearch, a civilian search and recovery team, looked for him without success, although his dogs were later found.
