Tonight, the family of 24-year-old Rafael Patrick Garrido, a resident of Ladyville, is concerned about his wellbeing because he's been missing for 5 days now. Reports to 7News are that the last time his family members saw him was last Wednesday.
Since then, no one has heard from him, and so his family reported him missing to the police. This morning, the cops briefly discussed his case with the press:
