A man missing for eight years after disappearing as a teenager has now been found - but can only say a few words, his frantic mother has reported.

Rudy Farias, 25, was reported missing in Houston, Texas, in 2015 but was finally found outside a church last Sunday - sparking delight for his relatives.


He is currently in hospital after he was discovered outside the church unconscious and unresponsive, covered in cuts and bruises and with blood in his hair.

He went missing at the age of 17 while walking his dogs, who made it home without their owner.

His mum, grateful to have him back, said her son was in "bad shape", adding that the family have tried to speak to him but he will only say a few words before going into a fetal position, and she believes he was badly abused and beaten.

Thanking supporters for their help, she warned it would be a long healing journey but is extremely thankful her son has been found alive.

ABC13 spoke to Farias' mother on the phone who said a Good Samaritan called 911 after finding him outside a church, unresponsive in southeast Houston on Thursday.

It's unclear if investigators have had a chance to interview him.

"After 8 long years, Rudy has been located safe," the Texas Center for the Missing tweeted. "Please continue to keep his family in your prayers as Rudy recovers in the hospital."

The disappearance occurred not long after he lost his "best friend" of an older brother die in front of him in a motorcycle accident.

A private investigator told Dateline in 2015: "He watched his best friend die right in front of him. His brother was his best friend in the world. He’s just gone through so much more than anyone his age ever should."

In the wake of Rudy's disappearance, search and recuse non-profit Texas EquuSearch said: "Rudy suffers from depression, PTSD and anxiety. He has attempted suicide in the past.

"It is possible he is disoriented as he has not been taking his medication. Rudy is also asthmatic but is not in possession of his inhaler. According to his mother he is very wary around strangers."

Texas EquuSearch director Tim Miller is one of several people involved in the original search for Rudy.

“How did this happen? We believe in miracles and this certainly was a miracle,” Miller said.

“I can’t even tell you how many times we searched and how many leads and tips came in and they just kind of faded away and now all of a sudden, this.

"In the beginning, we met with the family and detectives out there and we found a backpack. We talked to someone with a catering truck that said they saw him, then there were different possible sightings in different places."

It is still unclear where Rudy has been in the years he was missing, or why he left and Miller added there remained "a lot of questions" that need to be answered.

'Missing' Teen Kept as Sex Slave by MONSTER Mum For 8 Years Was Forced to Play Daddy and Husband

Rudy Farias was reported missing from his home in Houston, Texas, eight years ago - now he has been found amid allegations of sexual abuse, but police say Rudy has made no formal complaints

Rudy Farias and Janie Santana, the mother

A teenager who went missing for eight years was forced to play "daddy and husband" while being kept by his own mother as a sex slave, according to bombshell claims.


Quanell X, a community activist and counsellor, made the shocking allegations as Rudy Farias was found eight years after being reported missing from his home in Houston, Texas, at the age of 17.

The activist, who spoke to Rudy in police custody, claimed: "She (his mother) would ask him to play daddy... She told him that he had to be the husband."

In a dramatic police press conference today, detectives announced Rudy, now 25, had actually returned home just one day after he was reported missing - and said he has made NO claims of sexual abuse against his mum, Janie Santanam.




The home where he was hidden


The teenager went missing on March 6, 2015, and was last seen at 6:30pm while he was walking his two dogs.

Eight years later, on June 29 this year, he was found on the stoop of a local church, unable to speak and in extremely poor physical condition, according to his mother.

Neighbours and relatives have become suspicious of her, claiming that they knew Farias wasn't missing, as they had seen him around.

"We always knew in our hearts that he wasn't really missing," said his cousin Cassandra Lopez, who told the police in 2018 that Farias was staying with Santana — their grandmother had even seen and spoken to him, she claimed.

"I was in shock," she added. "I was like, I couldn't believe it. "I mean, I was glad [when he was found], but I just was wondering what was going to unfold from it. Like, what was the story going to be behind [his disappearance]?"

In the days since Farias' discovery, neighbours have recorded her, and she now says she expects to be arrested.

"When he first went missing, he didn’t report it to the police," Santana claimed, speaking as she exited her car in front of her home.

"And they are trying to say that he might have done some crimes. Which he didn’t," she continued. "Now, they want to arrest me. Because they said I was hiding him."
