00:00Kieran Latchman's vehicle was found abandoned in a dark, bushy area in Bon Air Ruka, but there's been no sign of him since.

00:07His family is pleading for answers and for him to come home.

00:11According to police, Kieran, of Walnut Drive in Dabody, left home around 9.30 yesterday morning,

00:17driving his white Kia K2700 truck to deliver scaffolding and an air fryer to a client in Arima.

00:25But by the evening, his mother, Annie Setahal, could not reach him.

00:28Calls to his phone went unanswered and messages were not going through.

00:34Setahal sat down with TV6 News today and recalled what happened when she arrived at the scene.

00:39I saw the vehicle in a very dark area, bushy area, and I didn't want to come out, I was scared.

00:48So I went up, high up the road, I turned and I come back down.

00:51And coming back down, I say, you know what, I'll probably go across by his friends and them where he will normally be.

00:57So I went there again, blow my horn, tried calling out the people, nobody came out.

01:03I drive back down the road and I say, you know what, best I call the police.

01:07Because I'm seeing the vehicle here, but I'm not seeing him, something is wrong.

01:12Police later tore away the vehicle and advised her to file a missing persons report,

01:17which she did at the Arima police station.

01:19Setahal describes her son as a responsible individual and in need of daily medication as he had a seizure last week.

01:28She says he would never leave without telling her where he was going.

01:31So I don't know whoever he is, whoever has him, he know he on medication, he know he have to take medication.

01:40He will come home. It's not of him not to come home.
