Missing autistic man returns home after two hours

Shoreline residents in neighborhoods around Richland Highlands were very worried Friday when they received a robo-call about a missing autistic man from their neighborhood.

The call said to look for a "30-35 year old black man, nonverbal, last seen wearing a tan jacket, green shirt and jeans. He goes by "Rashid Rashid". If seen, call 911."

One recipient of the call was particularly concerned as she knew him well. "I was his one-on-one when he was a student at Shorecrest. He was very friendly."

Checking with the King County Sheriff's office and Shoreline Police, we learned that he had apparently returned home on his own, after an absence of about two hours and that he is fine.
