"Nicholas Simmons, a 20-year-old Rochester, NY, man who disappeared from his family on New Year&amp;#039;s Day, was found in Washington, DC, thanks to a photo of him in USA Today. Jacquelyn Martin, the Associated Press photographer who took the picture, saw Simmons pressed against a steam vent to keep warm in an area where homeless people often gather in cold weather. Trying to illustrate the record-breaking temperatures, Martin said Simmons stood out to her because of how young he was. A family friend saw the photo and notified Simmons&amp;#039;s parents, Paul and Michelle, through a Facebook page set up to help find their son. The parents then reached out to the publication, positive that the image was of Nicholas who, at that point, had been missing for four days. The next day the newspaper contacted Martin via Twitter to find out his location. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s really gratifying to see that a photograph can make a tangible difference in someone&amp;#039;s life. That&amp;#039;s a really amazing thing to have happened,&amp;quot; Martin said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m happy and touched that the photograph could help reunite this family.&amp;quot; Police picked up the missing man on Sunday afternoon, and he was reunited with his father and older brother at a local hospital. He is now on his way back home. There&amp;#039;s no information on why or how Simmons vanished in the first place. What do you think about this heartfelt story? Share your comments below.
