ORIGINAL STORY POSTED, 6:33 P.M.:
Back in March, a young man with autism living in the Sandy Plains Road and Scufflegrit Road area went missing, and he was discovered with a police request for the public’s help.
The same young man went missing again on Thursday, and Marietta Police want your assistance if you’ve seen him or know where he may be.
Angelo Messineo, 21, wandered away from his foster home at 1521 Evanston Court around 5 p.m. Thursday, according to Marietta Police.
They say he was last seen wearing a blue sweater with a white undershirt and brown khaki pants.
Police also said Messineo starts clapping his hands loudly when he becomes upset, does not remember numbers and may not know how to get back home.
The area around the foster home is being searched by police and fire crews, and police said anyone should call 911 with information on Messineo’s whereabouts.
