Officials tell us they found him after his car broke down. Several Family members came to town to try and find him.

"We've took the routes of where he used to work, we went to the Casinos, we went thru the parking lot there you know he typically goes to Walmart to shop so we went to Walmart," said daughter Michelle Williams.
