Police tracked Chad Georgia, 21, to a hotel in Las Vegas through guest registration records and surveillance video. Georgia's family confirmed that was him on the surveillance video.
Georgia, who works with disabled adults, was reported missing Saturday after he failed to show up at a scheduled appointment with a client.
Georgia's sister said he checked out of the hotel about 6:30 a.m. today and it is not known where he went. She said the family doesn't know why he left home without telling them and he has not contacted them.
Earlier today, authorities found Georgia's sport utility vehicle in a parking garage in Oklahoma City near the downtown bus station, police said.

Obviously if he wanted to run away and not be found why would he take his car and be tracked that way. At least he got away for a few days. Maybe thats all he needed.
Jay, watch your words or should I say "grow Up". Obviously you are someone who can dish it out and not take it. Am I correct? This world is full of ignorant people like you who obviously didn't do well in English but then you probably had one of those pathetically poor paid teachers who don't do a good job without good pay.
This kid has probably been watching a lot of those Texas Hold'em Poker games on television, and thought just ride a bus out to Vegas for a few days in order to beat Mike "The Mouth" Matusow or Phil "The Poker Brat" Hellmuth out of a few hundred thousand dollars.
I asked a good friend of mine once, a police officer, about the whole "missing person" scenario. When it came to adults, especially where there was not the slightest evidence of foul play or a crime, he said a lot of folks who just up and disappeared "didn't want to be found," for whatever reason. And as long as no crime had been committed - and, of course, they were competent adults - they had every right to walk away from whatever they wanted to without legal interference. He was right.
One of my sons disappeard for 24 hours years ago. That was one of the longest days of my life. Not knowing where he was, was he OK, alive, dead or just plain lost? When found, he offered no explanation nor did I ask. All that mattered was he was found, and was alive and well. Sometimes a mystery remains a mystery, but can have a happy ending anyway.
Maybe he felt overwhelmed with his life and problems? I know I do at times lately with what is going on with my son being accused of a crime he did not commit. I think daily about walking away from it all so I do not have to think or worry. I do not do it as it would not help but maybe he thought it would. I hope he goes home so his family can quit worrying.
