A missing man in Turkey accidentally joined his own search party and looked for himself for hours before he realised he was the target of the rescue mission.
According to local media reports, Beyhan Mutlu, a 50-year-old man from a rural region in Turkey, was out drinking with his friends when he wandered off into a nearby forest and didnt return. Worried about him, his friends then alerted authorities, who set up a search and rescue mission to find him.
According to Turkish channel NTV, when news of the missing man got out, efforts to find him intensified in nearby neighbourhoods, with a large group of volunteers joining the mission. This search party was calling out Mutlus name for hours when suddenly a man from within the group spoke up and reportedly said: Who are we looking for? I am here."
It is unclear how Mutlu found himself in his own search party or how his friends didnt realise that he was right under their nose the whole time. Police were able to safely escort Mutlu to his home.

I can totally see this happening. It sounds like a 1930s screwball comedy.

"It is unclear how Mutlu found himself in his own search party or how his friends didnt realize that he was right under their nose the whole time."
This leads me to think that his friends were just as drunk.
