• Dale Wheeler, a 56-year-old IT worker from Morrisville, North Carolina, crashed his car just four miles away from his home on Nov. 12 and then disappeared, The Raleigh News and Observer reported.
Officers responding to the crash found the keys still in the car, along with "a little bit of blood."
Wheeler was reported missing after not showing up for work for two days, but it was almost two weeks before anyone saw him again.
On Nov. 28, someone called police to do a welfare check at Wheeler's home and found him there, alert and conscious. He was taken to a hospital, where he explained that he had walked away from the accident but went back to find his phone, then was lost in the woods for nearly two weeks before finding his way home.
Police said an investigation is ongoing.
