A quick online search made the boys even more concerned. It turned out that the card belonged to a 92-year-old federal judge who had been missing for two days.
The teens drove their ATV vehicles home and told their parents what they they saw. Their parents immediately called the police, who had the boys show them the way to the SUV.
Not far from the car, police found the missing man. He had been lost in the woods for two days, but luckily, he was in fair condition.
Just a day later, a big storm flooded much of the area where the man was found. If the police hadn’t gotten there, who knows what would have happened to the judge.
Check out the video below and see how the teens, Joe Delvecchio, 18, and Alec Yanisko, 15, became unlikely heroes in their hometown.
