UPDATE: Missing man found safe weeks after he was expected to return home

A missing man has been found safe hours after Boise Police Department asked for the public’s help in finding him.

Kevin Lanagan, who is from Rhode Island, was supposed to board an Idaho bus bound for the East Coast on Nov. 17, Boise police said in a press release Monday. His luggage arrived at his destination — but he didn’t.

In a subsequent news release, BPD said Lanagan “has been found and he is safe.” It wasn’t immediately clear where Lanagan was found or why he didn’t return home on the bus last month.

Lanagan’s family hadn’t heard from him since that day and said it’s unlike him not to be in contact for such a long period of time.

Lanagan was visiting family in Mountain Home and was supposed to board a bus in Boise on Nov. 17. It’s unknown if he actually got on the bus, police said in the initial release.
