Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you want to five? It's the Erica Show and
we have Brittany on the phone. Brittany's been mentioned all
over the news, all over social media because your dad
has been missing for several days. Now tell us everything.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yes, it's been since Saturday morning. He's been missing. He
went missing and we've not been able to find him. Like,
we're not really sure where he is at this point.
He took the car sometime in the middle of the
night or early in the morning, and we haven't heard
or seen from him since then.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
So do you have a ring camera that shows him
leaving the house early?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And then we don't. We have a ring camera, it's
at my parents house, but it doesn't show anything. The
only thing we have going on is that he left
his phone unfortunately, but he we locked it. He locked
it and when he was trying to turn it off
because he had it off, and we found in a
drawer two days later. But we looked at back his
(00:55):
pictures and there was a screenshot of like twelve twenty
am on Saturday morning, So it was some time after
that that he left, because it was like he was
trying to or turn off his phone and he did
a screen shot by accident.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Seventy one years old, and you said that he's had
some medical stuff in the past, it makes him obviously
in danger to be missing right now.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Right. Yes, he had a major heart attack when I
was pregnant with my second child and was basically dead
on the table and took twenty shocks to get him
back to life. And so he's definitely here for a reason,
and he believed that for a long time until he
had two strokes within a couple of weeks of each
other about a year later, and those really changed his
(01:39):
quality of life.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So, yeah, what can the community do to try to help?
What do we need to be looking for?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I think we just need to be sharing and posts,
you know, everywhere. We can be on the lookout wherever
we're walking and driving. Praying is like the most important
thing that we can ever ask for for anybody, because
it really there. We have no leads and we need
we need a break. We thought we could get some
technology with his car. It's a year too old to
(02:09):
get anything, so we really have just hit roadblock after
roadblock and there's been like zero real leads coming through.
So all we can ask for is sharing and praying
and looking keeping an eye out to bring my dad home.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I know this is hard. Sorry episode sense of I
know you cry too, so.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I try and keep it together for my kids. I
know it's sheltered, but it's hard. It's hard after so
many days.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yes, okay, So Miguel is his name? Seventy one. He
was last seen in a was it twenty sixteen Mercedes?
It was a silver.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Silver Mercedes see three hundred. I can send you a
picture of the car if that helped, because I had
very distinctive wheels that were black wheels that were a
little different than other ones and that might be on
the road. Had a windshield ding in the windshield. It
had a car seat in the back seat that he
would pick up my daughter from school in. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Okay, So if anybody has any leads, where do they call?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
They can call the Raleigh Police Department. Detective Forward is
assigned to it. It is probably the best way. My
phone number is also on a lot of flyers. But yeah,
the detectives have been great and they're definitely doing what
they can to follow those leads as quickly as possible.
The few that we've had, well, we're.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Going to share it everywhere and of course, you know,
call Raleigh please. I'm so sorry though.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Thank you so much, Erica. I really appreciate just you
taking the time to listen to my story. Get it
out there is amazing. My dad was so loved in
the community. He had people reaching out to me all
the time that knew who he was and like, you
don't know me, but I know your dad. Everywhere we
went I grew up in Raleigh, everywhere we went someone
knew Miguel. Like it didn't matter if we were like
(03:59):
at the Hole in the Walled place or a Harris
Theeter or a Mexican restaurant. Everyone would come up and
talk to him and say how they impacted his life
in one positive way or another, and just it's so
it just brings me so much joy that we have
that community behind us now
