11/19/12
Castillo has been located in Whittier. Someone saw him and contacted Los Angeles Adult Protective Services, whose personnel retrieved him and temporarily placed him at a facility in Hollywood. He has now been reunited in good condition with his greatly relieved family members. Chief Beck and the LAPD would like to thank members of the media and local broadcasters for their diligence and assistance, without which Castillo might not have been found so quickly.
