Atlanta (Tadias) – The 33-year-old Ethiopian limo driver from DeKalb County who had been missing since early Saturday has been found alive.
A family friend says Negrero Debero was found on Thursday and has been admitted to Gwinnett Medical Center for treatment.
Negrero disappeared after he was last seen Saturday morning at about 6 a.m. According to police, he was last seen driving a black Lincoln Town Car with the license plate number 355 REJ, which authorities located last week, smashed and abandoned on Interstate 85.
Per WSBTV.com: “Friends of Debero told Channel 2 Action News the circumstances of the disappearance seem very odd, and how he was located was more bizarre. ‘He was found in the bushes without his clothing. We’re hoping detectives on the case are still going to be working,’ said Surafel Asmamaw.”
“We still want answers to what happened that Saturday morning when he disappeared,” said Getachew Techill, Debero’s friend.
Earlier in the week, “Family and friends {who put up a $10,000 reward for information} told Channel 2 Action News reporter Kerry Kavanaugh that about 100 members of the Ethiopian community came together Tuesday night to distribute fliers and to ask for people to spread the word about the missing man.”
“We’ve gone to gas stations, apartments and streets…,” said searcher Yeshr Teklu.
Negrero has a fiancée and a 4-year-old daughter.
According to WSBTV.com, witnesses claim Debero was drinking at a bar the day he disappeared.
