Matthew Dahlin, 21, a former Linfield student, who was identified as missing by his family earlier this week was found alive and well in Sacramento, California, on Saturday, according to a post on Facebook made by his father.

Dahlin’s father, Tim Dahlin, wrote on Facebook that his son was found by relatives who live in the Sacramento area.

His father also thanked everyone for the love, support and prayers.

Dahlin’s father was able to file a missing person report with law enforcement on Thursday.

Dahlin was a physics and mathematics major while he was at Linfield and would be a senior this year.

Associate Dean of Students and Director of Residence Life Jeff Mackay sent an email to students on Wednesday asking if people knew Dahlin or his whereabouts in an effort to help Dahlin’s family locate him.

Mackay commented in an email on Sunday that, “We are glad that Matt has been located and we were happy to assist Matt’s parents.”

Dahlin’s sister, Cailin Dahlin, commented on her father’s post that identified Dahlin as missing, writing, “Thank you to everyone who shared and sent their prayers or thoughts. We will still be supporting him through emotional and mental health struggles, so prayers for his well-being are appreciated.”

Dahlin’s family was not available for an immediate comment.
