Missing Salem horse trainer found safe

A missing horse trainer from Salem, N.M., has reported himself alive and well to local authorities after being missing since August 11. John Barnett, 65, met with Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office investigators at the Caballo RV Park and General Store shortly before noon Friday. He told investigators he read about himself being missing and said he had been "under a lot of stress and only wanted time to be alone," according to a DASO news release. Barnett is reported to be in good condition and is back with his familiy. He was reported missing earlier this week after his family grew concerned by his lengthy absence. LC Sun-News
