ATLANTA (WSBTV) — A limo driver who disappeared nearly a week ago turned up late Thursday night with no explanation.
Negero Debero, a native of Ethiopia, disappeared last weekend, sparking a search when police found his smashed Lincoln town car abandoned on Interstate 85 on Oct. 8.
Friends of Debero told Channel 2 Action News the circumstances of the disappearance seem very odd, and how he was located was more bizarre. “He was found in the bushes without his clothing. We’re hoping detectives on the case are still going to be working,” said Surafel Asmamaw.
Witnesses claim Debero was drinking at a bar they day he disappeared. During the week more than 100 people handed out flyers and searched the area. A $10,000 reward was even offered for his safe return.
“We still want answers to what happened that Saturday morning when he disappeared,” said Getachew Techill, Debero’s friend.
Debero was being treated at Gwinnett Medical Center.
