French last communicated with a friend the morning of Jan. 6, but he has not been heard from since.

The North Miami Beach Police Department posted a video message from French’s brother, pleading for the public’s help.

“I would like to ask anyone who has seen this video for your help in locating my brother,” David French said.

John French was last seen wearing a blue plaid shirt, blue jeans, black sneakers and glasses.
