CLEVELAND – Officials at the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office say they’re working hard to find 53-year-old David Yackov.
The quest for answers is especially urgent because investigators and family members suspect foul play.
On Monday, a continuous stream of tears flowed from Yackov’s family members who haven’t seen or heard from him since Oct. 16.
“Very suspicious circumstances,” said Tim Kean who is the Chief Deputy at the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office.
Yockov’s gray 2000 GMC Sierra truck was found days after he vanished in Cleveland, which is about 25 miles from where his family says he lives.
That discovery only leads to more questions about his whereabouts.
