A missing New York man has been located in Washington, D.C. after his family spotted a photograph of him in a USA TODAY story about the freezing weather.
Nicholas A. Simmons, 20, was last seen leaving his home in Greece, near Rochester, on New Year's Day. After he didn't come back, his relatives launched a desperate search for him by contacting local media and making posts on Facebook.
However, on Sunday his parents, Paul and Michelle Simmons, saw a homeless man who looked just like their son in a USA TODAY news report published by the Democrat and Chronicle and notified local police.
