The Snyder family is living through every relative's worst nightmare as their beloved father and grandfather, Robert 'Rob' Snyder, remains missing for six agonising days from his Perth home.
Family's Desperate Plea for Help
Robert Snyder, 72, was last seen at his Parmelia residence last Tuesday, and his sudden disappearance has left his family distraught and fearing for his safety. The adored grandfather's absence is completely out of character, raising serious concerns among those who know him best.
"We just want our Poppy back," the emotional family told media, using the affectionate nickname his grandchildren know him by. "He's the heart of our family and we're absolutely shattered."
Extensive Search Underway
Western Australia Police have launched a comprehensive search operation for Mr. Snyder, combing through local areas and following up on potential leads. The Parmelia community has rallied around the family, with neighbours and volunteers joining the effort to locate the missing grandfather.
Police describe Mr. Snyder as approximately 180cm tall with a medium build, grey hair, and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, black shorts, and black shoes.
Family's Emotional Appeal
The Snyder family has made an emotional public appeal for anyone with information to come forward, no matter how insignificant it might seem.
"If anyone has seen him or knows anything, please, please contact the police," family members pleaded. "We're desperate for any information that could bring him home safely."
How You Can Help
Authorities are urging Perth residents, particularly those in the southern suburbs, to check their properties, including sheds and outbuildings, in case Mr. Snyder has sought shelter nearby.
Anyone with information about Robert Snyder's whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers immediately or approach any police officer. The family remains hopeful that community vigilance will help bring their cherished Poppy home.
