WESLACO - Weslaco police and a missing man's family are asking for your help. They're concerned about the man's safety.
Thirty-two-year-old Tomas Nunez went missing on New Year's Day. His family thinks he might have met up with the wrong people. A man in a video is seen driving a truck across the Hidalgo bridge into Reynosa. He's driving the truck of Nunez.
"I just want to find my brother, find some closure, whether he's alive or has passed away. We just want to bring him home," says Estela Delgado, sister of missing man.
Delgado says her brother was not perfect, but she says he cared about his children. She says there's no way he would go a whole month without contacting anyone.
"The reason why it hurts even more is on the 13th it was his daughter's sweet 16 party and we didn't do a party. But it was her birthday and we had planned celebrate her," says Delgado.
Delgado says if Nunez was OK, he'd never miss a special occasion like that. Weslaco police call Nunez's disappearance a missing person case.
"But obviously since this man is driving the missing person's truck, you clearly think he may have some knowledge as to the whereabouts of the missing person. That's correct and that's the reason we want to get this individual identified, so that we can question him and try to get the whereabouts of our missing person," says J.P. Rodriguez with Weslaco Police Department.
Nunez's sister says her brother borrowed $1,000 from a family member the night he vanished.
"One of the possibilities is that he went to a wrong place and maybe something happened to him," says Rodriguez.
Police and Nunez's family have no idea who the man seen driving Nunez's vehicle is. All they know is he's driving Nunez's truck into Mexico. Nunez's truck is a black Ford F150 Lobo with Texas plates AX-40980.
If you have any information on this case, you can call Weslaco crime stoppers at 956-968-8477.
