In the days after Dalibor Pantic disappeared his car was seen driving around Melbourne, but police strongly suspect he was not the man behind the wheel.

Police believe the father of five, also known as Dale, met with foul play when he disappeared two months ago and someone else was driving his distinctive Ford sedan when it was captured by CCTV cameras on EastLink and the Princes Freeway.

In a tearful plea for answers on Tuesday, Mr Pantic's 11-year-old daughter asked the public to help bring her dad home.

"He was the best dad ever," Maya Pantic said. "Bring my dad back."
