A Domino’s pizza delivery man disappeared last week, sending his family into a panic that only worsened when a stranger made a mysterious call to his brother’s cellphone.
The family of Shuefuab Xiong, 42, said he left Tuesday night for his job at a Domino’s in Apple Valley, Minn., but never returned home.
This is extraordinarily unusual for Xiong, a reliable worker who comes and goes like clockwork for his job, they said.
His distraught family added that they had not heard from him since.
“The customers all called back, telling Domino’s they never received their orders,” Nischa Xiong, the missing man’s sister, told ABC 9. “We’re lost, we’re confused, we’re scared , we hope he AGREES.”
The family launched a search for Shuefuab the next day, to no avail, and Nischa created a website to help people search for him.
But his trail has become blurred, except for one clue: a stranger who picked up Shuefuab’s brother’s phone.
“On the day he disappeared, January 14, my (other) brother received a call from an unknown number around 6:45 p.m.,” Nischa said. “He didn’t pick up because he thought it might be a spam call.”
The brother eventually called the number back and the person who answered said Shuefuab had called from a Target parking lot in Richfield.
“(They) said my brother approached him in his vehicle, knocked on the window and asked him to use his phone,” Nischa said.
The man claimed Shuefuab tried to call his family three times but gave up and left, the outlet said.
Shuefuab’s concerned family is offering a $20,000 reward for his safe return.
