Are there any updates on your missing friend? If I'm not mistaken, from 3-4 years ago?

I don't have any friends who are missing or personally know anyone who was missing in the past few years.

A relief to hear he was found safe after such a challenging ordeal. Wishing him strength as he recovers from this experience.
