Lawrence, Ind.

Officials have found a missing teenager safe. Hunter Valant, who has autism, was found on Old Oaklandon Boulevard North Drive just before 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The 19-year-old had last been seen in the area of East 75th Street and Oaklandon Road around 8:15 p.m. at a Subway shop Monday night.

Urban Search crews were sent out several times to look in wooded areas near the Marsh Supermarket at East 79th Street and Oaklandon Roads. Dogs were also called in to search through the night.

This is not the first time Hunter has disappeared. Back in 2009, he wandered away from home. He was found six hours later.
