Toma and Patrick Lato, Vitos' father and brother, during their appeal for his safe return.

Missing 20-year-old man Vitolio ‘Vito’ Lato has been found safe and well.
Vito approached PSOs at Yarraville Railway Station on Wednesday 26 October and they contacted his family.
The Journal reported on Tuesday that two psychics had given the Lato family hope that their son hadn’t met with foul play since he disappeared from a factory in Elliot Street, Dandenong South, on Monday 17 October.
Police had joined Vito’s father Toma and twin brother Patrick at Dandenong Police Station to appeal for any information about his whereabouts.
