Missing Novi Man Found Safe
Hans Brinkman, a 53-year-old man from Novi, Michigan who was reported missing from his group home on Saturday, has been found safe and sound.
Brinkman went missing from his residential group home, situated on Jamestowne Road between Novi and Taft roads. He was last seen at his home at around 3:50 PM on the day he disappeared.
Details of Discovery
Interestingly, it wasn’t locals or a search party who found Brinkman. A Livingston County Sheriff’s Office deputy found him walking along U.S. 23 in Green Oak Township. This was at 11 AM on Sunday, a mere day after he was reported missing. The place he was found is around 17 miles from Novi.
According to details released, the vulnerable adult did not have access to a car, phone, or means to secure money. His discovery therefore was a great relief.
