I'm having a hard time feeling good about this. I'm very happy for his family, I can't imagine what they've been through, but it seems like he didn't want to be found. The fact that a non-profit went out to get him using facial recognition tech is alarming.

This was my feeling. I'm happy for the family, but the brother's situation seems kinda suspicious.

To be fair, he is from Hamilton. If you're from Ontario, you'll know what I mean.

Is Hamilton our Florida now?

I've always thought of it more like Detroit, but with more mob connections.

Was about to say Windsor before my mind flew south...

Yeah, the article really doesn’t give context so everything is pure speculation on my end.

I hope this is positive for both the family and the guy who was found.

Not sure how to feel about this story. A relief for the family, but yeah, depending on what his status is when found maybe he didn't want to be found?

It's trying hard to be a feel good news story, but doesn't give any info on his status. If he was homeless and suffering from mental illness in the states, then of course it would be a good ending.

However, if he left to completely cut ties with family for whatever reason, then it certainly wouldn't be a good news story for him.

They will be reunited, wonder if that will be the case or if he will disappear again before that can happen.
