La Brea man still missing

Cummings, 50, has been missing for the past nine days after leaving his home to go to Freeport, in search of work.

The father of two, told relatives that a man from Freeport had called him to build a wall.

The relative said Cummings left Marabella and decided to stay in Freeport instead of traveling 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 close female relative told Newsday that she and other relatives are praying and hoping for their loved one safe return. Anyone with information is asked to contact the La Brea Police Station at 648-7444 or the Marabella Police Station at 652-6777.
