Three days after his son’s emotional plea for help, Bill Hurley was found in Texas.
Hurley, whose son is professional golfer Billy Hurley III, disappeared from Leesburg, Virginia, July 19. His son said Hurley packed clothes and cash, got in his truck and drove away.
Hurley was found safely Friday afternoon in Texas after a citizen recognized him from earlier media releases, Leesburg Police Department said. Local police in Texas then confirmed his identity.
Hurley told police that he was physically fine and simply traveling. He declined to speak further about why he left Virginia.
Hurley, 61, lives in Leesburg. He worked as a police officer for 25 years, his son said.
The younger Hurley is in Virginia this week for the Quicken Loans National in Gainesville.
