00:00His father, taxi driver Anil Miraj, disappeared on March 17, 2023.

00:09His son posted to social media on Sunday, pleading for assistance.

00:14He tells us his father left home the morning of Friday, March 17, 2023, to go on a private

00:22job but never returned.

00:25He says police later recovered his father's vehicle with his father's eyeglasses and its

00:31case in the trunk of the car.

00:34Josh Miraj tells TV6 it has been a challenging two years for his family.

00:39Well, it's been tough because he was the brother of the family.

00:43We have four siblings.

00:46One is 18, one is 17 at present.

00:50The other one is 11 and the other one is 8.

00:54He tells us they have tried to get financial assistance, but they keep getting stonewalled.

01:01We had to bring back and forth the social welfare and so forth, and I said they can't

01:06help out because we don't have a body and he's not there as yet.

01:10Josh tells TV6 his family desperately needs closure.

01:14I want my father back.

01:16It's almost two years.

01:17We are tired.

01:18I mean, I am 23, but I have younger siblings.

01:21Every day they ask.

01:22They want to know what's happening.

01:23Where is their father?

01:24That is a question we don't have.

01:26If my father is already dead, you know, just call and say, Josh, your father, XYZ, we bury

01:30him, we trim him.

01:31So whatever the case may be, if it's bones, I will bury my father.

01:34I will let my siblings see my father for the last, via a coffin.

01:38When we bury him, we'll know that he's there.

01:40He vows to continue posting on social media and calling for information until his family

01:47gets the closure they need.
