Elijah and his father in Salt Lake CIty Tuesday
Salt Lake City, Utah -
The family of a missing Jenks teenager says he has been found safe and sound.
Sonya Lange says her youngest son Elijah Nathaniel Carr, 15, went missing more than a week ago.
Lange says she got an anonymous tip that Elijah was at a Wal-Mart in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Elijah's dad flew out there immediately Tuesday and found him asleep in the parking lot and unharmed.
Lange said she thought the recent deaths of three of his classmates played a part in his disappearance.
Three of his classmates died in the span of six days in separate instances. "The one that unfortunately committed suicide, was a good friend of his," Lange told Tulsa's Channel 8.
Lange is driving to Utah Tuesday evening and the family will be reunited before heading back to Jenks.
