A 9-year-old boy with autism who disappeared from his California City home Friday afternoon was found about one-mile from his home Saturday morning.

The boy wandered about 25 miles in the desert, naked, before being located by search and rescue crews according to California City Police Lt. Eric Hurtado.

The boy was suffering from hypothermia, because it was an abnormally cold night in the desert, and taken to a hospital for treatment.

The child's mother was helping to bathe the child who disappeared out a sliding-glass door when she left the room briefly to get him a change of clothing, police said.

Members of the police department, two Kern County Sheriff's search and rescue teams and two search-dog teams as well as a sheriff's helicopter searched for the boy starting around 2 p.m. Friday until he was found at 7 a.m. Saturday.

Search dogs and members on foot traced the child's footprints through the desert overnight along 20 miles of random trails north of California City. Lt. Hurtado figures the boy wandered 25 miles before he was found.
