Two brothers are desperate for any information about their missing father, who was last seen on Oct. 22.
Nelson and Donovan Mendez said their dad, 51-year-old Mario Mendez Campos, left work that Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. in the 1200-block of Frances Street in Vancouver.
He has not been heard from since.
Nelson, 25, said the last time he spoke to his dad was on Oct. 20 over the phone.
They reported him missing on Oct. 28 as they thought he was busy at work and did not realize he had not spoken to anyone in the family during that time. It was then they became suspicious and called RCMP.
“He was at a very happy time in his life. He was very happy that I had just had a newborn son, he was a grandpa. It was a very happy moment in his life,” Nelson said.
He added that his dad was not on any medications and has no history of mental illness.
