An boy with asperges, a mild for of autism, vanished in Florida only to be found across the country in California. Thirteen-year-old Kenton Weaver was reported missing on Tuesday. His father said Kenton stole his SUV and drove off from their home in Boca Raton.

Kenton Weaver drove approximately 30 miles to the airport in Fort Lauderdale, parked the car and jumped on a flight to San Jose near where his mother lives.

“I really enjoyed it,” Kenton told “Good Morning America” simply. “I talked to a few people.”

Kenton’s mother, Kim Casey, lives just hours from the San Jose airport in Fresno, Calif., but the boy’s father, Dean Weaver, suspects it wasn’t the destination that lured the boy to the airport, but the journey.

“I know why he went,” Dean Weaver said. “His mother, his grandfather and uncle live in the area, so if he had a chance to get there he took it. He hasn’t seen them in a while, so I understand that that’s why he would go there. But all the things he had to do to get there seem really confusing.”

“It’s very difficult to get onto plane these days and somehow he managed to get a ticket, get through security and get on a plane,” said Dean Weaver, Kenton’s father.

Kenton is now safe and sound with his mom in California.
