"The family called [Medfield Police] earlier [Sunday]," Medfield Chief of Police Robert Meaney Jr. said. "I don’t know the exact time … it was the morning, so the department has been working on it since then. He was entered as missing probably about [7:30 p.m.] or so. "

"We’ve gathered information from the family and Wilmington Police went and interviewed the person [Visser] was in contact with when he purchased the tire rims and they feel like they had a good interview with him and gathered all the information they needed," Meaney said.  "Now all those area towns [around Wilmington] go looking at their typical areas around town to see if they can find the truck somewhere."
