Marco found safe

Twenty-year-old Three Rivers native Marco Drayton, who had been missing since July 22, has reportedly made contact with his family and is safe.  A variety of news reports stated Drayton left the area without informing his family, whose members reported him missing after he failed to show up at a friend’s house a short distance from his residence.  Drayton reportedly drove to Virginia before deciding to turn around and return. An explanation for his actions was not offered, nor was there any indication whether police tracked down Drayton or if he returned on his own volition.  Further details about the situation were not available late Sunday from the Three Rivers Police Department.
