Missing College Student from Western Springs Found

One day after Tyler Allen’s family expanded their search for him to neighboring states, the 20-year-old University of Colorado student has been found and returned to Boulder, the family reported Sunday morning on their Find Tyler Facebook page.

Update: Tyler is found and safe! He is undergoing a medical exam in Boulder. We cannot express our gratitude for the outpouring of love & support from all of you. We will post more as soon as possible. Thank you!! xoxo

Allen, of Western Springs, was last seen on April 11 in Boulder, CO, and his friends last heard from him by text a few days later. A prayer service was held for him on Thursday. His family reported him missing on April 18.

“Thank you to everyone who has come alongside the Allen Family in this great time of need,” family friend Jenny Lancaster wrote on the Find Tyler Facebook page.

Allen’s uncle, Scott Wennerstrum, told ABC 7 Chicago that Allen’s mother called him today and said Allen looked as if he hadn’t eaten for days.
