According to Javier Segovia, his son suffers from an attention disorder, which may contribute to academic and emotional difficulties.

“Hopefully, now he will be get the treatment he needs,” Javier Segovia said. “I think it’s important he keeps working toward graduation.”

Javier Segovia said it was purely coincidental when he heard through a friend of a friend Monday night that his son never boarded his flight to Miami, and was spotted in Santa Monica.

By Wednesday, Javier Segovia, one of his friends, and two of his son’s friends distributed more than 200 missing-person flyers on the Third Street Promenade and Santa Monica Pier. Sources informed them Nick Segovia would be in Santa Monica until Wednesday, when he would begin traveling north with a transient named Scott, or “Scooter,” who apparently had taken him under his wing.

Javier Segovia said the search party spoke to several transients in Santa Monica, who provided few helpful leads.

The Santa Monica Police Department put Javier Segovia in touch with the missing person division, who were prepared to continue the search on Thursday in downtown Santa Monica. But by Thursday afternoon, Javier Segovia said his son had voluntarily called from Orange County saying he wanted to come live with him.
