Brian Ferguson’s Disappearance Leaves Family Searching Desperately

More than two weeks after Brian Ferguson disappeared, his family is still searching for answers. His mother says police located the man Ferguson planned to work with at sea, but he claims he last saw him on October twenty-eighth and Ferguson never showed up for the job. Now, with few answers and growing concern, the family is organizing its own search near the port and along the coast this weekend, appealing to the public for help.

“I know my son. This is not Brian ways of just going and no come back or contact his family. That for sure I know Brian. That da no Brian. We really di  ask for help. That people would help look for him because right now, to be honest, between work, I have a busy schedule, and this Saturday, just me and his sister and maybe a couple of his brothers. Because I only have like one son really where I could really depend on to really help me look. So that’s only who I know right now could help me do a search for my son. So I would really appreciate if some people would come and help me in other areas do a search.”
