Novi Man Found Safe in Livingston County
Good news! Hans Brinkman, a 53-year-old resident of Novi, who got separated from his group home was found on Sunday in perfect health. Brinkman disappeared on Saturday afternoon from his group residence at Jamestowne Road. He was seen in the home at around 3:50 p.m., which was his last known location.
After a vigorous search, a deputy with the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office found Brinkman at around 11 a.m. on Sunday. He was walking on U.S. 23 in Green Oak Township, Livingston County, around 17 miles away from his Novi home.
Worries were particularly high as Brinkman didn’t have a car, a phone, or any means of securing money. So naturally, everyone was relieved when he was found safe and sound.
