I can’t eat, sleep or think straight not knowing where he could be. I just want to know that he is safe and I won’t give up until I find my boy.
— Tammy Slade
A devastated mother has told of her pain after her son was bashed and abducted from his home in South Windsor more than two weeks ago.
Brendan Vollmost, has not been seen since he last returned to his home on Cox Street at about 10.30pm on March 31.
Police hold grave fears for the safety of Mr Vollmost because his bank account hasn’t been touched since his disappearance.
Mother, Tammy Slade, pleaded for the Hawkesbury community to help bring her son back home to his family.
‘‘Every day is becoming harder and harder for us all,’’ Mrs Slade said.
‘‘I can’t eat, sleep or think straight not knowing where he could be. I just want to know that he is safe and I won’t give up until I find my boy.
‘‘Someone has to know something. His younger brothers and sister are devastated. They just want him home.’’
Aged 8, 9 and 21, Mr Vollmost’s siblings have helped make missing posters to place around the Hawkesbury since his disappearance.
A Facebook page, Please help bring Brendan home, has been set up by his girlfriend, Jennifer Carrier, calling for help to raise money to fund a reward for anyone who can supply information regarding his whereabouts.
Also known as Volley, Mr Vollmost was born and raised in the Hawkesbury.
He spent his primary school years at Hobartville Public School and went on to attend Richmond High School.
Due to turn 24 in less than two months, Mr Vollmost spent his years after school working as a brickie’s labourer and builder around the region.
Police believe Mr Vollmost was involved in a collision with a white Hyundai i30 just before his disappearance. They believe that after the accident he fled to his home and was followed into his backyard shed.
He was chased, assaulted and taken by four men from the property he shared with his girlfriend.
It is believed Mr Vollmost was carried, put into a white station wagon (pictured above) driven off.
Investigators have asked panel beaters and smash repairers to be on the lookout for the white Hyundai i30, which is believed to be damaged on the front driver’s side panel near the headlight.
Detectives from the robbery and serious crime squad have set up Strike Force Orander to investigate Mr Vollmost’s disappearance.
