sugarplum892 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 A missing 17-year-old Northern California boy, who was found Thursday, picked fruit off trees at a high school and drank any water source he could find to survive, police said.Connor Sullivan eluded more than 200 volunteers who searched for days as he hid on the Monta Vista High School campus in Cupertino, where he was last seen at 10 a.m. Monday, said Sgt. James Jensen of the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.He slept under the school bleachers, ate from fruit trees on and around the campus, used the portable toilets and drank from fountains and faucets.That went on for days as volunteers searched the campus and nearby neighborhoods until 9 p.m. Thursday, when he finally decided to go home.“He did not want to be found,” Jensen said.It is unclear why he ran away, but sheriff’s officials said they believed he was missing. Deputies didn’t think he was hurt, but they deemed his departure suspicious because he had never run away before.Sheriff’s officials have looked into whether they could seek restitution from the boy’s family for the search efforts but couldn’t find any laws to support it, Jensen said.Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odaesan Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Well, he probably came back as a Type 2 diabetic. I don't think it was worth it for him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s13 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Does that really count as "surviving"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
