A missing nonverbal California teenager was discovered after a rescuer heard him clinking rocks.
The teen, who is developmentally disabled, was spending the day at Crescenta Valley Park in Glendale with his mother and sister when he went missing at about 10 a.m. on April 3, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The park, just south of Angeles National Forest, includes some heavily forested areas.
John Gilbert, coordinator for the Montrose Search and Rescue Department, told CNN that the 16-year-old was last seen walking straight up a hillside in what the family called an "uncharacteristic" move. His mother and sister were unable to follow him. He was missing for about seven hours.
