Missing East Palo Alto Teen Found Safe, Police Say

EAST PALO ALTO, CA — Police say an East Palo Alto teenager reported missing on Halloween has been found safe Wednesday at a friend's house in Daly City. Jonathan Bedolla was found in good health and returned home to his family, according to police.

Bedolla, a student at Junipero Serra High School in San Mateo, left campus around 3 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 26. He was last seen later that day, leaving the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto after work around 5 p.m., police said.

The day before he went missing, school staff had contacted Bedolla's mother about some disciplinary action. Bedolla's mother had called her son more than once and sent him text messages, but he didn't respond or
contact any other family members.

Police had said last month that they didn't believe there was any foul play involved in his disappearance.
