UPDATE: James Lawson was located safe and returned home just before 8:00 p.m. Lawni Hanson Peterson “My mom and I saw him twice today. At 11:25 at Hesperia Road and Green Tree and then at 2:15 at Bear Valley and 2nd heading west. At 5:30 my mom listened to her home phone messages and had received an automated call from the Sheriffs Dept alerting the area near where he went missing from to look out for him, starting out at his last known location to us. And lo and behold he was literally within 2 blocks of where we had seen him over 5 hours earlier, walking east. I pulled over, called the Sheriff and started talking to him. He had been walking on the pavement all day today with no shoes, but he is home safe now.” said Lawni Hanson Peterson, in a Victor Valley News Facebook group post.
