A man who moved to the Bay Area just two weeks ago, now missing tonight, the family of Johannes Cardona is desperately searching in Francisco, hoping to find him . We want to take home. I need my son. I need my son. The missing 22 year old had just graduated from Cornell and started working at Netflix two weeks ago. Good evening, everyone. I'm Alex Savage. And I'm Julie Julie Haener. He was last seen Monday evening when he took an Uber from San Jose. Authorities say some of his belongings have been found near the golden gate bridge. New at ten tonight, Jana Katsuyama joins us live from San Francisco. And Jenna, the young man's mother and brother traveled from new York to try to find him. Julie the father, also, he is one of three children and he recently moved out to the bay area. They said to start his new job. They found some of his possessions, a phone and a wallet in a grassy area between the visitor center and the cafe that's up there on the hill. But right now, the mother, father and brother are here in the bay Area just begging and investigators and anybody out there to try and help them locate Johannes. I'm heartbroken . Johannes Caden's family is terrified. His parents and older brother Joseph flew in from New York Wednesday after they suddenly lost touch with the 22 year old. They say Johannes had just graduated from Cornell in May and was starting a job in the Bay Area at Netflix. He traveled here late July, July 26th, and he started work last week. So this was his second week of work. But on Monday night they were worried when his phone's location tractor didn't move from a spot near the Golden Gate Bridge. Hardworking, determined my son. I want my son, I just want my son. His older brother, Joseph, says. Johannes lives in San Jose. The family notified police there and officers found some surveillance footage at his apartment. Two young colleagues of his saw him and were able to talk to him, but he said he was heading to San Francisco to maybe meet a friend. The last footage that I've seen of him was him leaving his apartment building, getting in an Uber in a black Toyota Camry. Joseph says on Tuesday morning, a commuter found Johannes Wallet and phone near the Welcome Center at the Golden Gate Bridge. 30 bucks in cash was in the wallet. IDs cards, phone untouched. Then on Wednesday, they say police found Johannes backpack. It had two of his laptops and some personal documents. Now they are searching and hoping that investigators will help them locate Johannes, calling Medical Center's homeless shelters, visiting, distributing posters, doing everything that we can in our power to get my brother back. My best friend. I need everything possible to be done. I just want my baby dead or alive. The family says that investigators were able to pull some surveillance camera footage from some of the cameras that are here at the Golden Gate Bridge Visitor Center area. They say at one point it shows somebody who could be Johannes, but it was not very clear video. They are hoping to get a better identification off of that with some analysis. But certainly one of the things they said is they had talked to him on Sunday evening. He seemed to be in a good mental state emotionally very excited about his job. So right now, there are just a lot of questions, not so many answers tonight. Yeah. And Gianna did investigate or say it all. Were they able to get onto his Uber account to find out where the Uber ride left him or dropped him? Well, at this point, I have contacted the CHP for Marin County. The Bridge patrol and San Jose. We are still awaiting responses from them about where the investigation stands. And they said that it was an Uber, a car with an Uber sticker. So it wasn't exactly clear if he had taken an Uber or a rideshare or if it was somebody that he might have known who had that sticker. Those are all questions that they are hoping to get to the bottom of. But at this point, it's just very difficult for this family as they wait for investigators to give them more information. You can definitely understand that. A heartbreak
