A Michigan family of four has not been seen or heard for days after the dad called 911 and exhibited paranoid behavior, cops said.
Michigan State Police and Fremont police said that family members had not heard from Anthony and Suzette Cirigliano or their teen sons Brandon and Noah since Sunday, October 16, and their phones had been turned off.
According to Police Chief Tim Rodwell, investigators don't have any evidence of foul play in connection with their disappearance. He told WOOD of Grand Rapids, however, that everyone who knows the Cirigliano family was shocked by their disappearance.
Cops describe the family's disappearance as abnormal
They all describe this disappearance as extremely abnormal behavior from Tony and Suzette. Rodwell said that an elderly relative who has dementia was found on Monday, October 17, walking in the neighborhood. The Ciriglianos were taking care of that relative before they vanished. Other family members are now taking care of her, according to NBC News.
Rodwell said in the interview that they don't see any signs of violence, and they don't see any signs of foul play right now. He added that there are no signs of a struggle inside the home. State police said that the two sons who disappeared both have autism.
According to state police assisting in the case, Anthony Cirigliano exhibited paranoid behavior on Sunday, October 16. Rodwell said he called 911 early on Sunday, and when police officers arrived at his home, the dad was talking about information or issues regarding the September 11th attacks.
The officers made sure at the time that everyone was safe and OK. Rodwell said they spent about an hour with Anthony and talked to his wife, Suzette. He said that was a very abnormal thing to say and make a police report of.

The officers told Anthony and Suzette before they left to call the police if they had any other issues, and the cops would be there to help. They ask anyone who sees the Cirigliano family to contact the police department. Rodwell also asks that the parents let the family members know they are safe.
According to state police, the missing family may be in a silver 2005 Toyota Sienna minivan with a Michigan registration of DJL1982.
Fremont is a town located about 35 miles north of Grand Rapids. It has a population of around 4,500. Rodwell told the station that the Cirigliano family had lived there for four years now. They lived in the Jasper County area of South Carolina before their move to Fremont.
According to the U.S. Sun, one of two sons who disappeared along with his entire family was seen in a gas station security video trying to use a phone before they vanished.
