LOS ANGELES - Another Ivory Coast Special Olympics athlete has vanished in Inglewood, hours after his teammate was found safe.

Tenimbe Mahamed Abidjan Ouattara, 28, was last seen around 11:00 p.m. Monday leaving an Inglewood hotel, where his team had been staying.

According to the Inglewood police, Ouattara's coach reported him missing at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. He was scheduled to leave Los Angeles in the afternoon.

A surveillance camera photo shows the French-speaking golfer wearing glasses, a white athletic jacket with an orange shirt, white pants and sandals.
