‘Missing’ Rudy Farias’ mom hid him for 8 years, passed him off as nephew: cops

The mother of the Houston man reported missing in 2015 actually hid her now-25-year-old son at home and repeatedly lied to police before he was miraculously ‘found’ last week, police said Thursday.

Janie Santana referred to her son, Rudy Farias, as her “nephew” if they were spotted publicly, but remains free from criminal charges for now as Houston Police Department continues to probe the bizarre, bogus disappearance.

In the eight years since Farias was said to have disappeared while walking his dogs in early March 2015 police had actually encountered the purportedly missing man — but both he and his mother gave false information to officers.

“During these contacts, fictitious names and date of births were given, misleading the officers,” Houston Police Department Lt. Christopher Zamora told reporters Thursday.

“In fact, both Janie, Rudy’s mother and Rudy himself gave fictitious names while interacting with various patrol officers.”
