Courier Times: Shipley Found Safe

Brian Shipley, a 21-year-old Holland resident who , has been found safe in the area, according to a Courier Times article.

His mysterious disappearance without wallet, keys or other identification, puzzled police officials who were trying to track him. Shipley was last seen on Feb. 13 along the Neshaminy Creek near the George School. Multiple searches were conducted in the immediate and greater areas, and Detective John Gross said he "almost disolved into thin air."

Gross met face-to-face with Shipley after he contacted a friend last week and said he was in the Delaware area. His reason for leaving was that he needed to "get away," the article said. 

Friends, family and others across the nation posted on Facebook, Twitter and created a website, which is no longer active, to spread the word about his disappearance.

Cheryl Ann Shipley, Brian's mother, posted Thursday evening on the page that "Brian did not contact us and is not ready to see anyone or come home. He needs time. I believe he is in the Lord's hands and the Lord's timing is perfect so I am going to wait for Him to act. Don't stop praying!"
