A 19-year-old Pompano Beach resident, Zachary Attilus, was reported missing last Friday but has since been found in Augusta, Georgia. The Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) Missing Persons Unit launched an investigation following his disappearance from the 200 block of Southeast First Avenue around 8:30 p.m., as detailed by WSVN.

Attilus, who was last seen sporting a gray hoodie and dark pants, stands 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs approximately 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. His family informed detectives that Attilus is on the autism spectrum, which added a layer of concern to his disappearance. BSO detectives worked quickly to safely locate the teen.

The search concluded late Saturday night when the BSO confirmed that Attilus had been found "safe and unharmed" in Augusta. This update brought much-needed relief to his family and friends who had been seeking his whereabouts. The details surrounding his time missing have not been fully disclosed.

An official statement from the BSO’s Missing Persons Unit was released on X, "Detectives with the BSO’s Missing Persons Unit have located 19yo Zachary Attilus missing from Pompano Beach. According to investigators, Attilus was located safe and unharmed in Augusta, Georgia." Details on how Attilus made his way to Georgia or what led up to his temporary disappearance have yet to be publicly released.

The BSO has not provided further information on Attilus' location during his absence or if any intervention was required to find him.
