He put the “party” in “search party.”

Turkish man Beyhan Mutlu joined his neighbors in their search for a 50-year-old man who’d gone drinking with friends, then wandered into the woods and disappeared. Much to Mutlu’s surprise, he was the missing man the party was seeking.

Citing local media reports, Vice reports that Mutlu spent hours scouring neighborhoods near where he’d been boozing with friends to help locate a missing person being sought by authorities and concerned community members. When Mutlu realized the volunteers were calling his name, he solved the mystery.

“Who are we looking for?” he reportedly asked. “I am here.”

It’s not known how Mutlu hooked up with the search party without being noticed by friends who’d organized the manhunt. Police escorted him home.
