An 18-year-old from Havelock was found alive by OPP this week after having been missing for over two weeks. He says he survived on mostly peanut butter and crackers.
An 18-year-old autistic man from Havelock, Ont., was found alive by Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) after having been missing for over two weeks.
OPP said they found Logan Tozer in a burnt-out building in Havelock at around 8:45 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
Police said say officers had searched the building before as it is said to be one of Tozer’s regular spots to visit.
Tozer spoke to Global News on Wednesday morning, saying he made his way back to Havelock, arriving as rain also arrived in the area on Tuesday evening.
“When it was raining and it was nightfall already, when I got back to Havelock, I took shelter in the burnt-down building,” Tozer said.
After being found after 17 days, police say Logan was taken to an area hospital as a precautionary measure.
His mom, Jenn, was ecstatic when she heard the news that her oldest child had been found.
“Before I got the phone call (from police), someone had messaged me and sent me a screenshot from social media saying he’s been found,” she explained, although it remained unclear whether it was official for a few more minutes.
