In a news conference Thursday, the Houston Police Department said Farias was reported missing by his mother in 2015, but returned the next day.
During the eight years, police said Farias spoke with officers, but he used fake names and date of births, which misled officers.
“Both Janie, Rudy’s mother, and Rudy himself gave fictitious names while interacting with various patrol officers,” police said in the news conference. “Janie continued to deceive police by remaining adamant that Rudy was still missing.”
