FREMONT, Michigan — Nearly a week since a West Michigan family of four went missing, the search continues. There are still many questions surrounding the Cirigliano family's disappearance, but new information continues to be uncovered.
13 ON YOUR SIDE compiled a timeline of the family's last known whereabouts and what we know about the ongoing search.
TIMELINE
Sunday, Oct. 16, 2022:
Family reported Anthony Cirigliano had been acting paranoid on Sunday. Suzette Cirigliano and Anthony Cirigliano are married and have two sons Noah and Brandon.
Around 12:40 a.m., Cirigliano made a call to Fremont dispatch, calmly asking for police to be sent to his home. During the call Cirigliano says he needs immediate police protection regarding information he had about September 11.
He claims the information he had is of vital national interest, expressing his fear that people wanted to see him "erased from the face of the earth."
This was the first and only call Cirigliano made to police prior to the family's disappearance.
Despite Cirigliano's claims, the Fremont Officer mentioned in the phone call does not know Anthony Cirigliano.
Monday, Oct. 17, 2022:
Through investigation of the Cirigliano home, Fremont Police Chief Tim Rodwell estimates the family likely left their home on Monday, anywhere from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The family left behind their pets and a family member who requires full-time care. Police say their cell phones have been turned off.
Surveillance video from the BP gas station in Gulliver, Michigan spotted the family buying gas and snacks around 10:40 and 10:55 a.m. on Monday. Police confirmed that information with a gas station clerk Friday morning, as well as releasing images from the surveillance camera.
Fremont Police said one of the children tried to use a gas station phone to place a call, but it appeared unsuccessful.
Police say they may be in a silver 2005 Toyota Sienna with the registration number "DJL1982".
Missing Cirigliano family
Tuesday, Oct. 18 - Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2022:
Fremont Police believe the family stayed in Iron Mountain from Monday, Oct. 17 through Wednesday, Oct. 19.
Police have not confirmed what hotel, or where the family may be staying during their time there.
The Fremont Police Department made their first formal missing persons post on their Facebook page around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.
There have been no other sightings of the Cirigliano family since Wednesday. Although Fremont Police say dozens of tips have come in since they began their investigation.
Sunday, Oct. 23
The Fremont Police Department said detectives were able to contact all members of the Cirigliano family in Steven's Point, Wisconsin around 11 a.m. Sunday.
Authorities interviewed each family member and the Fremont Police Department said there were all safe.
The family still believes someone is after them, Fremont authorities said, "but the elements of the investigation do not meet the criteria for protective custody."
The family member that required full-time care is now being cared for by other family members, police said.
"This investigation will be closed and we wish to thank all of those individuals who assisted in the investigation by calling in tips and sharing the information to help locate this family," authorities said.
