This is getting bizarre...

The story that has been reported nationally was that Farias went missing eight years ago at the age of 17 when he took his two dogs for a walk. The Texas Center for the Missing said on Saturday, July 1, that Farias, now 25 years old, was found unresponsive outside of a church in Houston.

Now, neighbors of Farias' mother are questioning whether he really was missing for eight years, with some claiming that he has been living with his mother all this time
"He used to come in my garage, chill with my cousin, son, and daughter," "That boy has never been missing."

So, what's going on here?

Wow! Sounds like mother/son may have been trying to get attention. Don't want to say scam because there's no evidence of that but definitely an interesting story.

There's a Facebook group with almost 20k followers about this story. People from Ireland, Germany, Asian countries are following this story

It does seem like the story keeps getting more and more weird.

Edit: the Facebook group now has 27k followers

Quanell X says he spoke with the boy and the boy said he has been a victim of the Mothers abuse all this time.

So, maybe he was running TO the church to get help....

It seems that mother abused her child that has delayed mental development.
He was too terrified of her to take an action, and has limited understanding what was happening to him.

I just wonder why there weren't any missing person posters posted in the neighborhood.
Neighbors who saw him living with his mother, apparently didn't know he was missing. They would report it much sooner.

Now, Rudy Farias’ mom is reportedly on the run after allegations she held him as ‘sex slave’.
The mother of the Houston man who “vanished” for eight years before being found last week made a midnight run from her home in the wake of horrifying allegations that she had hidden her son at home, kept him drugged and tortured him, according to local reports.

Local activist Quanell X had revealed grotesque details he claimed to have heard from the now-25-year-old victim himself.
“She would ask him to play daddy, she told him that he had to be the husband."
Police have not confirmed any of the claims made by Quanell X.

Rudy's mother, Santana has not been charged in connection with her son’s disappearance and was allowed to leave the hospital with Farias following the interview.

The Houston Police Department is expected to hold a press conference Thursday morning. So, let's hear what they are going to say.

Missing’ 25-year-old’s tragic family history revealed:

Rudolph Farias III — whose son, formally named Rudolph “Rudy” Farias IV, was found safe just last week after purportedly being missing for eight years — worked in the Houston Police Department’s (HPD) traffic enforcement division in 2014 when he took his life in his patrol car, Chron reported.

Rudy was a young teenager when his brother was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2011.

A tough-talking aunt of the “missing” Houston man Rudy Farias has blasted her “manipulative,” “greedy” sister for allegedly hiding him for eight years — and lying to police and the public about his whereabouts.

Farias also interacted with police over the course of the eight years, but both he and his mother gave fake names or dates of birth, police said.

Santana has not been charged in connection with her son’s disappearance, nor has a reason for the mysterious cover-up been established. ...
