The case of Rudy Farias, found mysteriously after missing for eight years amid shocking claims of abuse levelled at his mum by a community activist, has gripped the country.
Rudolph 'Rudy' Farias IV went missing as a teenager in 2015 while taking his dogs for a walk. The alarm was raised after the dogs were found without him.
Now 25, he was ‘found’ on June 29 in the doorway of a local church, eight years after his mother, Janie Santana, reported he had disappeared.
