The discovery unfolded when the sister called authorities on Friday to say she was sent a USA Today article published in May that showed a photo of a man who looked like her brother, the Lassen County Sheriff's Office said.
Capt. Mike Carney of the Lassen County Sheriff's Office told ABC News on Tuesday, "She was super excited. She was very appreciative that we took the time just to follow up on it. She was over the moon and anxious to call other family members to let them know."
Carney called this a 'perfect example' of not giving up on missing persons cases. 'Be tenacious when it comes to these things, because there are family members that want answers,' he said.
The USA Today article published this spring asked the public to help identify a nonverbal man who was in a hospital in Lynwood, the sheriff's office said.
