The distraught parents of Dominic Kardasiewicz, who has been missing for five days, pleaded for him to get in touch on Wednesday.

"There are a lot of people looking for you," said his father, Mark.

"We want you back home. We miss you," said his mother, Heidy.

Kardasiewicz, 33, was last seen in the Bloor Street West and Lansdowne Avenue area on the evening of May 25. Det. David Coffey told reporters Kardasiewicz spent a normal Friday night at a bar with a few friends, before leaving on foot and grabbing a slice of pizza on his way home. Those events are captured on video.

He then went missing somewhere in the Bloor Street West and Dovercourt Road area. His family says it's "completely uncharacteristic" for him to not make contact.

Coffey says officers have checked the entire area, including every route Kardasiewicz may have taken toward his home, near Dovercourt and Queen Street West, but have turned up no leads. Meanwhile searches of his various records — from bank to Uber accounts — haven't turned anything up, either.

Police say there's "no apparent explanation" about Kardasiewicz's disappearance at this time.

Investigators are hoping someone on Dovercourt Road may have some video surveillance of the street from the night Kardasiewicz went missing.

Hundreds join Facebook group focused on search

In an Instagram post, Rossi Gifford, Kardasiewicz's girlfriend, said she received a text message from him at 11:30 p.m. last Friday, but hasn't heard anything since.

"Please help. Share information. Keep your eyes peeled. We need to find him," Gifford wrote.

A Facebook group has also been launched to help with the search, which now has over 300 members.

Kardasiewicz is described as six-foot-two, or about 188 centimetres, with a medium build and short brown hair.

He was wearing a bright-red zip-up Adidas hoodie with white stripes on the sleeves, a light-blue T-shirt, grey shorts, and white Adidas sneakers when he was seen last. Kardasiewicz also has a tattoo of a revolver on the back of his left calf.
