LAFAYETTE, Louisiana (KADN) — A mystery man showed up at a Lafayette hospital with a disturbing tale and the FBI is on the case.

A state official told News 15 that a man with developmental disabilities showed up at a Lafayette hospital with a troubling account.

It’s not known how the man, who says he’s from Philadelphia, got to the Hub City.

He told social workers that he was held captive for 12 years in Philly while his captors took his Social Security disability checks.

The Louisiana Office for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities contacted the FBI and agents are now investigating the case.

We’ve reached out to the FBI for an update, but so far, the bureau isn’t commenting.
