HOUSTON — A former Pasadena High School student who went missing more than eight years ago was found alive, according to family members' social media posts and other sources.

Rudolph "Rudy" Farias IV was reported missing in March 2015 when he was 17. He was walking his two dogs in north Houston when he vanished. The two dogs were later found, but Rudy was gone.

When Rudy disappeared, family members thought he may have been abducted and sold for human trafficking. They were also concerned because Rudy suffered from anxiety, depression and was an asthmatic who didn't have his inhaler.

While we don't know the details of Rudy's disappearance, HPD Missing Persons Division and Texas EquuSearch founder Tim Miller both also confirmed to KHOU 11 that Rudy was found alive.

Farias' mother told local news station KTRK that someone called 911 after finding him unresponsive outside a church. He had cuts and bruises all over his body and blood in his hair, Farias’ mother told the station.

Farias' mom said they tried talking to him, but he would only say a few words and go into a fetal position, the station reported. She said it would be a long journey for him to heal, but is thankful he was found alive.
