La Brea man reported missing

Curtis Cummings, 50, a father of two, told relatives a man from Freeport had called him to build a wall.

The relative said he left Marabella on Thursday and decided to stay in Freeport instead of travelling back and forth from La Brea. He continued to communicate via his cellphone with relatives.

However, on Sunday November 20, he called to say that the man he was working for was refusing to pay him. That was the last time relatives said they heard from him and subsequent calls to his cellphone went to voice mail.

A missing person’s report was filed on November 20 at the La Brea Police Station and police confirmed the report. However, the matter was referred to the Marabella Police Station, since Cummings was last seen in Tarouba.

The relative described him as a quiet, straight-forward person who did not drink alcohol or smoke — Anyone with information is asked to contact the La Brea Police Station at 648-7444 or the Marabella Police Station at 652-6777.
