A 31-year-old man with Down syndrome was missing for six days. He was finally found inside a small room in a Metro station in Maryland.
For nearly a week, Jimmy Hall and his family were searching for his missing son. The young man, known as Rashawn Williams, had disappeared on October 20th after leaving his caregiver and boarding a bus in Maryland.
Six days later, a police officer searching the Glenmont Metro station found Williams in a locked corridor (走廊). A station manager guided the officer to a hidden corridor, where they discovered Williams, alive and surprisingly healthy. It was believed that he had entered the corridor, and the door had locked behind him. Rather than trying to go up a steep set of stairs, he had remained in a small room.
Williams was taken to a local hospital where he received treatment. The medical staff made sure that he was in excellent health. Although it was difficult to think of Williams spending up to six days in a small space, cold, thirsty, and hungry, the family expressed relief that he was found safe.
“I was just incredible (难以置信的) from where he was at. We would never have thought that in a million days, a million years that he was in that area for six days. We scoured the whole station and he was right there the whole time.”said Hall.
