He's been missing for nearly seven years, but Thursday morning Wichita Police announced Louie the Clown, from Joyland Amusement Park, had been found.

Wichita-native Melvin Phillips remembers the clown. "He always met you when you came in the gate with a happy face," he said.

Louie still has the same blue eyes, white face, and red smile. "For being about 50 years he's in excellent shape," said Det. Matt Lang, Wichita Police Department.
