Sean Clarence told Today that he saw young Christopher Wilson on the side of the road as he went to work.
“On my way, literally, walking towards my car, I looked at my phone, I looked at social media and his face was everywhere, so I knew what it was like,” Clarence said.

“Three minutes after looking at my phone and jumping into the car, I saw a boy on the side of the road, probably a meter away from the bush on the side of the road.”
Clarence saw him at about the same time as a woman named Kristie, who took him to her car to warm him up.
“When we got him in the car I was talking on the phone with the police,” he said.
“They were there in minutes.”

“It was amazing to see that he was safe and looked pretty good,” he said.
“He was cold, but other than that he looked really good physically.”
