The quartet was first reported missing Oct. 16 after neighbors spotted Suzette’s mother, who suffers from dementia and requires full-time care, wandering around their neighborhood,PEOPLE previously reported.

A subsequent investigation revealed the family turned off their cell phones and left behind their pets in addition to Suzette’s mom.

Prior to their alleged disappearance, police said Anthony exhibited “paranoid behaviors” during a bizarre 911 call that same morning when he allegedly told dispatch he needed “police protection immediately.”

“It is related to September 11th and people want to erase me from the face of the Earth. I am not crazy,” Anthony reportedly said.

“[A Fremont police sergeant] knows me, I am a Christian, I just need some help, and then the U.S. government will take it from here,” he said. “I know this sounds crazy; you don’t have instructions for this. Please send someone that knows [the Fremont police sergeant] and can talk to the U.S. authorities, please.”
