In a statement, his father Rob expressed his gratitude to detectives for their work during this devastating time and pleaded with anyone with information to come forward.
“For five-and-a-half years, our family has lived with unbearable ache, the pain of not knowing what happened to Jeff or where he was,” he said.
The Mundy family has described Jeff as “a father, a loving son, a brother, and an uncle.” His father Rob, in a heart-wrenching statement, said, “The suffering and heartbreak caused by the loss of Jeffrey has impacted every body and every member of our family, and it is something that we are forced to live with each and every day.”
