SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- A teenager has been found four days after he reportedly walked away from a remote camp for troubled youths in northeastern Utah, officials said.
The Daggett County sheriff's office said Andre Duran, 14, appeared to be in good health when he was found about five miles from the camp at Spirit Lake, The Salt Lake Tribune reported Sunday.
He was in the Hickerson Park area when found Sunday by a search and rescue team. Duran walked away from the camp about 9 a.m. Thursday, officers said.
Searchers from four counties used dogs, horses and aircraft to find the teen, but found only a single footprint on Saturday that might have been his.
Teens at the camps are required to surrender their shoes as a means of minimizing their escape.
Duran had reportedly been in the program for about three weeks. Designed for boys ages 13 to 18, residents stay on the 12-acre site about four to six months. They receive on-site classes and behavioral therapy and participate in work projects and backpack trips.
