From a press release:
The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office located a missing Mountain View High School student last night with the help of the Sheriff’s Office Unmanned Aircraft System commonly referred to as a drone.
The Stafford Sheriff’s Office received a call on Monday, September 18, 2017, at approximately 5:00 p.m. in reference to a missing person. The missing person was an 18-year-old Mountain View High School student who failed to return home after school. The missing student had no history of running away and the Sheriff’s Office had reason to believe that he may be endangered.
Deputies located the missing student’s book bag and cell phone in the school which heightened the concern for the young man’s safety. Detectives conducted numerous interviews with associates of the student and learned that nobody had seen or heard from him since the end of the school day.
In light of the circumstances and the belief that the missing student may still be somewhere in the area of Mountain View High School, the Sheriff’s Office Search & Rescue Team as well as the Drone Team were called out to assist in the search. The drone, which is equipped with a thermal imaging camera, was launched just before 9:00 p.m.
By 9:30 p.m. the drone operator picked up a thermal image believed to be that of the missing student in the far southwest portion of the school property near the track. Drone team members directed deputies to that area and the missing student was found unharmed.
