Missing Michigan family is found safe in Wisconsin but are still ‘convinced people are after them’
>
A Michigan couple who disappeared with their two teenage sons after complaining about 9/11 conspiracies has been found safe 300 miles away and is no longer a police matter – despite being convinced that people are “after them.”
Anthony and Suzette Cirigliano, 51, fled their home in Fremont, Michigan, last week, with sons Brandon, 19, and Noah, 15, last week.
DailyMail.com previously revealed how the couple had locked the doors and windows of their home, leaving Suzette’s elderly mother with dementia to wander the streets.
Before they disappeared, Anthony called the police about conspiracies involving the FBI, CIA and 911.

The family drove 300 miles north of their home. There they were spotted
Last weekend, the family was spotted at a Wisconsin gas station. One of the teenage boys asked to use the shop’s phone, which the staff thought was odd.
Now, as a result of that sighting, the police have been able to locate and interview the family.
They say that while they remain certain that ‘the people are after them’, they can no longer intervene. Suzette’s mother is now being cared for by another relative.
In an update on Monday, the Fremont Police Department said: “The Fremont Police Department would like to thank you for all your help in locating the Cirigliano family.
“The family has been successfully located in Wisconsin.”
On gas station footage, the family was captured Monday at the Blaney Park Quik Stop off the US-2 freeway in Gulliver – hundreds of miles from their home.

A gas station manager said one of the sons entered the store and asked to use the phone, while the other used the toilet during the family’s 15-minute pit stop for food and gas.
“He was acting a bit strange so we just watched him,” manager Heidi Bowler told Nexstar’s WOOD TV. “The only reason we paid attention to them is because the guys were a little different.
“I thought, ‘I wonder what’s going on.
‘Like, why is he using the phone? No one else is asking for it.”‘

Anthony and Suzette Cirigliano, both 51, and their two sons Brandon, 19, and Noah, 15, were spotted Monday after disappearing from their home in Fremont.
Brandon, 19, and Noah, 15 were spotted Monday by a gas station manager at the Blaney Park Quik Stop off the US-2 freeway in Gulliver and asked to use a phone and the restroom
Bowler was unaware of the missing Cirigliano family until she learned about them through a missing family article on Facebook days later.
She was soon able to identify the Ciriglianos as the “strange” family who went to the gas station earlier in the week.
“I immediately started with the footage and I looked and scrolled in on the license plate,” Bowler said. “They sure are.”
The gas station manager called the Fremont Police Department and reported the sighting. She said the family did not appear to be in danger.
Mystery has shrouded the case after it was revealed that on October 16, before disappearing, Anthony had called 911 in distress about a 9/11 conspiracy theory and was “paranoid” about the FBI and CIA.
Anthony’s bizarre 911 call obtained by News 8 revealed his last words to police when he requested “immediate police protection” for his knowledge of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The father of two was heard on the recording and sought the help of Fremont Police Department Sgt. Jan Greeting.
“I’m not crazy,” Anthony told the 911 operator. ‘Mr. Greeting knows me. I am a christian. I just need some help. I know this sounds crazy. You have no instructions for this.’
Officers arrived at the Cirigilano’s home after confirming that he had no weapons. After interviewing him for about an hour, they determined he was not in danger and left.

The next day, officers only learned the family was missing when she confused Suzette’s elderly mother, who suffers from dementia and is being cared for by Suzette, and was found alone on the streets of Fremont, according to Fox News.
When the police took Suzette’s mother to the family home, they discovered that the parents and their two sons were missing.
Police have since searched the family’s home and found Suzette’s and the two teenagers’ phones there.
The couple have not used their credit cards and there has been no activity on their bank accounts while Antony’s phone has been turned off, police said.
“We’re just very concerned,” said Tim Rodwell, Fremont Police Chief. “The circumstances are strange.”
The family appeared to have left abruptly as they had not arranged anything for Suzette’s elderly mother, who is now in the care of another relative.
The night before they disappeared, Anthony had called 911 in an emergency.
“Anthony complained about a complex issue regarding the September 11 attack,” Rodwell said.
“He showed my agents paranoia and some concern about the FBI and the CIA.”
Two police officers went to their family home that evening and spoke to Anthony for 45 minutes, police said. They also spoke to Suzette to make sure she was safe.
But police officers determined from the visit that the family was not in immediate danger.
“They seem like very good people looking after their families,” Rodwell said. “No one’s had any problems with them.”
