Missing person found Sunday evening

A 27-year-old developmentally disabled male who was reported missing from his backyard at 3:29 p.m. Sunday was located by the Sheriff's Department Search and Rescue squad a little less than four hours later.

Deputies responded to call of a missing person at risk in the 1700 block of Canyon Heights Rd. in Fallbrook after the man hadn't been seen for an hour. The subject was considered at risk due to his mental capacity and an initial search by deputies and the Sheriff's ASTREA helicopter did not locate the subject.

The Sheriff's Department Search and Rescue was activated and responded to the scene, and at approximately 7:24 p.m. the subject was located a mile south of his residence in a remote area of a canyon.

The only vehicle access to the location was by a fire access road. The subject was in good condition and was reunited with his caregivers.
