HOUSTON A former Pasadena High School student who went missing more than eight years ago was found alive, according to family members' social media posts and other sources.

When Rudy disappeared, family members thought he may have been abducted and sold for human trafficking. They were also concerned because Rudy suffered from anxiety, depression and was an asthmatic who didn't have his inhaler.
While we don't know the details of Rudy's disappearance, HPD Missing Persons Division and Texas EquuSearch founder Tim Miller both also confirmed to KHOU 11 that Rudy was found alive.
