KPRC 2 Investigates has been diving deeper into Thursday’s news conference. One in which investigators revealed that officers had visited Farias’ home in the past.
Especially since the department on Thursday admitted, “Fictitious names and date of births were given misleading the officers and Rudy would remain missing,” said Lt. Christopher Zamora with HPD’s Missing Persons Unit.
The department also made it clear that only in certain cases does the law require an ID from a person the department may come into contact with on the streets. However, this does not mean a check cannot be done without an ID according to HPD’s Union, “If it’s not there, then we are going to dive a little deeper,” said Doug Griffith.
However, the department never answered KPRC 2 Investigates question as to whether or not there was contact with Farias at his home. HPD Chief Troy Finner pivoted away from a response with, “Let me close with this Mario,” as Chief Finner failed to respond to the direct question.
