A husband and father of two who went missing a week ago, Colby Richards, has been found safe and sound according to authorities in the state of Texas. Richards, 31, woke up on the morning of May 26 and then disappeared from his own home, leaving both his phone and his wallet behind.
A report from Fox News revealed that the family had been organizing a search effort for him for over a week to try and find him.
“Hallelujah and praise the Lord!!! Colby has been found alive! We don’t have details yet, but we are overjoyed at the positive outcome. We will share what we can when we can,” Richards’ family stated in a Facebook post published on Friday.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office stated Friday that Richards was found “safe walking in the area of Research Forest and Kuykendahl, The Woodlands.”
“Mr. Richards is being evaluated by MCHD medics and a Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Mental Health Unit,” the sheriff’s office statement continued. “Detectives will eventually speak with Colby Richards about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance; however, it will be some time before he is interviewed.”
The sheriff’s office, along with Richards’ family gave a heartfelt thank you to the local community for their help and support in looking for the 31-year-old husband and father.
