Many times missing family members do end up on the streets. They either have dementia or mental health issues that keeps them from returning to their family, and often times don't even realize that their family is looking for them.
Nicole Marshall, 25, found her own father at St. John's Hall Temporary Shelter for the homeless in 2005, and homeless Danny Morales was reunited with his daughter in Feb. 28, 2011 when he posted his picture on Twitter saying he was looking for her.
As you look at the photo, take at close look at the man and see if you recognize him. Maybe a family reunion will be the next fortunate thing to happen to him.

Andrea Gail Parsons Missing Case Update: Police have arrested a
42-year-old man and charged him with murder in the case of a Florida
girl who vanished almost 20 years ago. Andrea Gail Parsons, 10, of Port
Salerno, Florida, was last seen on July 11, 1993, shortly after 6 p.m.
She had just purchased candy and soda at a grocery store when she waved
to a local couple as they drove by on an
area street and honked, police said.
Today, Martin County Sheriff's Department officials arrested Chester Duane Price, 42, who recently lived in Haleyville, Ala., and charged him with first-degree murder and kidnapping of a child under the age of 13, after he was indicted by a grand jury.
Price was acquainted with Andrea at the time of her disappearance, and also knew another man police once eyed as a potential suspect, officials told ABC News affiliate WPBF in West Palm Beach, Fla.
"The investigation has concluded that Price abducted and killed Andrea Gail Parsons," read a sheriff's department news release.
"Tragically, at this time, her body has not been recovered."
The sheriff's department declined to specify what evidence led to Price's arrest for the crime after 19 years or to provide details to ABCNews.com beyond the prepared news release.
Reached by phone, a sheriff's department spokeswoman said she did not know whether Price was yet represented by a lawyer.
Price was being held at the Martin County Jail without bond and was scheduled to make his first court appearance via video link at 10:30 a.m. Friday.
In its news release, the sheriff's department cited Price's "extensive criminal history with arrests dating back to 1991" that included arrests for cocaine possession, assault, sale of controlled substance, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and violation of domestic violence injunction.
"The resolve to find Andrea and get answers surrounding the circumstances of her disappearance has never wavered as detectives and others assigned have dedicated their careers to piecing this puzzle together," Martin County Sheriff Robert L. Crowder said in a prepared statement. "In 2011, I assigned a team of detectives, several 'fresh sets of eyes,' to begin another review of the high-volume of evidence that had been previously collected in this case."
A flyer dating from the time of Andrea's disappearance, and redistributed by the sheriff's office after the arrest, described her as 4-foot-11 with hazel eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing blue jean shorts, a dark shirt and clear plastic sandals, according to the flyer.
The sheriff's department became involved in the case after Andrea's mother, Linda Parsons, returned home from work around 10 p.m. on July 11, 1993, to find her daughter missing and called police, according to the initial sheriff's report.

11/29/2012: I regret to bring the news Leigh Swanson (45) missing from Saginaw Township, Michigan since 11/17/2012 has been LOCATED DECEASED. Article: WNEM: The Midland County Sheriff's Office released an update that the female located Wednesday afternoon in the wooded area near a residence on North Fox in Edenville Township has been identified as Leigh Katheri
ne Swanson.
Midland County Sheriff Jerry Nielson said that Swanson, 45, died from an apparent gunshot wound.
The discovery of her body and that of another male were made while authorities were looking for Swanson, a Saginaw Township woman who went missing Nov. 16 after going on a date with a man she met online.
Nielson said Wednesday that deputies arrived at a home in the Sanford area on Tuesday afternoon where they traced a phone number that Swanson had used to call her mother.
When they arrived at the home in the 5100 block of North Fox Road, deputies heard a loud boom. Moments later, someone came out of the home and told deputies his 28-year-old son had just shot himself. Police are not releasing either man's identity. The man was pronounced dead at the scene and police say his death appears to be a suicide. Deputies said they found human DNA in the home that did not belong to the dead man.
Just before the news conference started on Wednesday afternoon, authorities were alerted to the discovery of Swanson's body across the street from the home where the alleged suicide took place. Deputies were combing the property around the home and stumbled upon what is described as a female body about 30 feet from the road. No other information has been released as of yet.
Swanson's family told TV5 she was going out on a date with a new man she met through an online dating website. That website was MeetMe.com. When family members hadn't heard from her in several days, they reached out to the man she went on the date with, but they said he was rude and hung up the phone once they indicated that they were going to contact police.
Nielson asked that if anyone has information on the details of this case to contact the Midland County Sheriff's Department at 989-839-4620 or the Saginaw Township Police Department at 989-793-2310.
