The Brockville Police Service posted a video on their Twitter and Facebook accounts Wednesday of a family desperately pleading with a missing family member to come home.

Josh Hawkins has been missing since January 28, and police say they have no new leads on the case. They released the video in the hope that someone might know something about Hawkins’ whereabouts.

The Facebook post reads, “Josh your mom, Kim Snider, Sisters Sarah Hawkins, Jessica Maloney, Rebecca Kippen and Shania Snider-Beausoleil and son Dax Hawkins miss you so very much.”

At the beginning of the video, Hawkins’s mother begins to speak, but breaks down in tears almost instantly.
