NORTH FOND DU LAC, Wis. — An 18-year-old North Fond du Lac teen who had been missing since Sunday has been found safe.

Alan Fernando Leiva-Leiva ran away from his parents' home around 9:30 p.m., carrying a bag of tools. He reportedly told them he was going to do a TikTok challenge and “help some girls that were in trouble,” according to the North Fond du Lac Police Department.

Police shared an update Wednesday saying the teen was located safely.

He had not returned to school this week, and his phone was not ringing through. His Snapchat location had also been off for several days. His phone was last tracked to Clinton, Wisconsin, around 8:20 p.m. Tuesday.

Authorities said the behavior was unusual for Leiva-Leiva. The North Fond du Lac Police Department said he may have been experiencing a mental health crisis.
