The case of Rudy Farias, the teenager found over the weekend after going missing in 2015, is getting a fresh look from Houston Police. Chief Troy Finner told our TV partner Channel Two they have a lot of questions.
“I just think that we need to get in and get some answers right now,” said Finner who then added, “We’ll get down to the bottom of it.”
Tim Miller of EquuSearch is also trying to find answers, admitting that he has spoken with HPD investigators routinely since Farias was discovered outside of the church last week. Miller said in the last 24 hours, HPD has told him, “They want to go visit Rudy. They want to go talk with family and they want to put things together, but nobody has what you got.”
What Miller is referencing is a video we obtained after workers at a business near where Farias was found expressed concerns. They said the man in the video never visited their establishment. They also said that the man came in only hours before Farias was discovered. He also was incoherent, had no money and left after someone purchased a meal for him, according to the workers. A few hours later, Farias, who is unable to talk, according to his family, was discovered across the street by HPD and HFD.
“The mystery man in that video needs to be tracked down and checked out immediately,” said Miller, who believes investigators should identify whether or not it is Rudy.
In the meantime, neighbors of Farias told another local television station that Farias was "never" missing.
