LAYTON -- A 16-year-old autistic boy whose disappearance sparked an endangered persons advisory is safe and back at home with his parents.
Layton police say somehow Daniel Recksiek made it from his home in Layton to a Great Harvest Bread building in Ogden. They say he called dispatchers shortly after midnight and was upset when he discovered the building was closed.
Detectives say he was found in good health.
Police say the teen has a history of wandering off.
Quinn Moyes of the Layton Police Department said, "In August he wandered off. A search was initiated then and it went through the night until he was located."
Investigators are now trying to determine exactly how Recksiek got to Ogden and what he did during the 27 hours he was missing.
