PANAMA CITY — Calvin Sowell made contact with his son and was reunited with his family Thursday afternoon, the Bay County Sheriff's Office reported.
Sowell, 54, was believed to be endangered due to suicidal statements and messages he sent to family members. According to Sowell’s family, he was depressed after losing his job, being evicted from his home, and having to turn his family pets over to animal control because he could no longer care for them, BCSO reported.
BCSO was contacted at about 2 p.m. Wednesday by Sowell’s family. The search continued until the announcement that he was found around 2:30 p.m.
