"But he never showed up to work. We used 'find my iPhone' and found his vehicle abandoned next to a canal,” Bermudez Jr. said.
He said his dad’s car was found in a wooded area near 8th Street and 137th Avenue. Inside the car were his keys and his phone.
“We need to either find him alive and we’ll get him back to being well, or at least a body,” said Bermudez Jr. “Just to have that conclusion. Right now nobody knows anything.”

The family believes Bermudez Sr. is in danger.
“The police has gone out with different helicopters, with dogs, with divers to check the canal, and nothing,” his son said.
The 58-year-old has left no tracks.
Bermudez Sr. was last seen wearing blue jeans, a light blue shirt and a black hat.
A viewer called our newsroom saying they believe they saw him at around midnight on Saturday in the Southwest 142nd Avenue and Tamiami Trail.
The family checked the area but didn’t find any trails of the missing father.
Their efforts continue more than 72 hours after they last saw him before going to work.
“It would mean everything. He is the glue for all of us. He taught me everything," his son said. "We all came from Cuba. He did everything for us. He has always guided us. It would be having that guidance back."
Anyone with information should call Miami-Dade Police at 305-715-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477).
