In what we hope can be described as a happy ending to the sad story that broke last night, it appears that Duane Peters, legendary skateboarder and frontman for bands like U.S. Bombs and Die Hunns, has been found. Corey Parks, Duane’s ex-wife and the mother of his ten-year-old son, Clash, relayed the following message via Instagram:
Firstly We would like to thank everyone who’s helped or taken part in looking for Duane and all the outpouring of pouring if support and love. We are deeply touched as I know he would be as well. WE HAVE FOUND DUANE, but cannot disclose any details at this time. Thank you all so much from my entire family as well as Duane’s for your unbelievably kind and generous efforts. We will NEVER forget this. Love, Corey, Rob and Clash
For the sake of DP and his family, here’s hoping he’s alright and is getting the assistance that it sounds like he needs.

I know Duane’s been through alot and has put his friends and family through alot, as have I. I pray for him and that the Almighty puts His hand on Duane’s life, and give him some peace. These are tough times, I hated to see him hocking his shit just for cash for a place to stay. I hope God opens a door for him so he can keep those awards and mementos that mean alot to the sk8brd world. They don’t belong in a museum, they belong on his mantle in his home to be handed down in his family. Love and Respect to Corey for being so patient after all she’s put up with.
