FREMONT, MICHIGAN: A Michigan family of four mysteriously went missing from their home on October 16 after a paranoid 911 call about September 11. Anthony ‘Tony’ Cirigliano, 51, Suzette Lee Cirigliano, 51, Brandon Michael Cirigliano, 19, and Noah Alexander Cirigliano, 15, disappeared after a mysterious 911 call. They left behind their pets and Suzette’s mother, who has dementia and needs full-time care.

Fremont Police Department Chief Tim Rodwell told, "We don’t see any signs of violence, we don’t see any signs of foul play right now. There’s no signs of struggle inside the home. But everyone we’ve talked to … they all describe this to be extremely abnormal behavior from Tony and Suzette,” reports WoodTV. Rodwell further told, "Tony was exhibiting some signs of paranoia shortly before the family vanished." He said that Tony called 911 just after midnight of October 16 and two officers went to his home. He was talking about the September 11, 2001, attacks and wanted to talk to the FBI. “It’s not normal behavior or normal interactions we have with the community,” the chief said and added, that the officers were there for about 45 minutes to an hour talking to Tony and his wife to make sure everyone was safe and “that mental illness wasn’t putting anybody in jeopardy.”

"It is of vital national interest," Tony told the dispatcher, as per WZZM 13. "It is related to September 11th. And people want to erase me from the face of the earth." "I'm not crazy. Mr. Geeting knows me," Tony said referring to Sgt. Geeting whom he asked to come with their police lights off to not scare his children. "I'm a Christian. I just need some help. And then the US government will take it from here. I know this sounds crazy. You don't have instructions for this. Please send someone that knows Geeting and can talk to US authorities, please." The dispatcher confirmed Tony had no weapons with him when he called. 

Following this, the family vanished and their phone turned off. Also, they have not reached out to family or friends. Commenting on it, Tony’s brother, Paul Cirigliano, told, "They usually wouldn’t even go so far as like Walmart without letting somebody know, so it’s very unlike them. It’s certainly not an abrupt vacation by any means.” The brother found the 911 call concerning. He said, "We think maybe he might be having mental health sort of issue, and maybe he’s scared of something, but we definitely just want to let him know there’s nothing to be scared of, and he can reach out, and we’ll help him," as per ClickonDetroit.

Rodwell said investigators are conducting searches, going through the family’s finances and Michigan State Police have been called in to help. “The biggest thing right now is trying to get ahold of anybody that has information that would help us locate this family,” Rodwell said, as per WoodTV.

Details of the family

According to WoodTV, Anthony is 5-foot-6 and weighs around 180 pounds. He has brown hair with a clean-shaven face. His wife, Suzette is 5-foot-9 and is around 120 pounds with blonde hair and glasses. Their two sons, Brandon and Noah, have autism. Brandon is 5-foot-8 and about 120 pounds. He has brown hair with brown eyes. Noah is 5-foot-6 and is about 120 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. The family may be in their silver 2005 Toyota Sienna minivan with Michigan license plate DJL1982.

Michigan State Police is aiding Fremont police in the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the Fremont Police Department at 231-924-2400 or 911.
