Missing Sidney teen located in California

A Sidney teen missing since late last month has been located in California.

Daniel Virgil, 16, was found about 2 a.m. Monday in Colton, Calif., and placed in a juvenile facility pending pickup by his parents, said Sidney Police Assistant Chief Joe Aikens. Virgil was found uninjured.

Virgil was last seen in the Sidney area on the afternoon of July 28. His family, friends and the community turned to Facebook to ask for help in finding him. He was also reported missing in August 2013 and was returned safely soon after and was considered a runaway juvenile in that incident.

When he was located Monday, Virgil was traveling with an 18-year-old female from the Sidney area.

“I can’t release her name as we’re looking into the possibility of charges against her for contributing to the delinquency of a minor,” Aikens said.
