NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - UPDATE: Police found Roger C. Pollard Friday night.


Police are seeking the public’s help in locating a man who was last seen in Northwest Miami-Dade.

Roger C. Pollard, 39, was last seen at his home along the 2100 block of Northwest 113th Terrace, Wednesday.

“My children need him. I need him. His family needs him,” Shay Moen, Pollard’s wife, said. “That’s all I want to know, like, if he’s safe, like, if he’s alive. That’s what I need.”

Pollard was last seen wearing a black shirt and red gym shorts. He may also be driving a red 2013 Toyota Camry with tag number GBZR36. The 39-year-old is the football coach at Coral Gables Senior High School.

He is described as standing 6 feet, 1 inch tall, weighing 200 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

Moen said the last time she spoke to her husband was on Tuesday when she was visiting her parents in Fort Lauderdale. On Wednesday morning, Moen woke up to a call from another coach at the school, who said Pollard did not show for work.

“We went to sleep talking on the phone, and he was tired and talked about our days and everything like that. It doesn’t make sense,” she said. “He doesn’t not go to work. He doesn’t not show up for his football players. He doesn’t not show up for his family. It’s all insane.”

Moen then checked her Ring doorbell camera, and she saw her husband walk out to get the mail, Tuesday night, at their home. By the morning, both Pollard and his Camry were nowhere to be found.

“[At] 11:55 p.m., the car is in the driveway on the Ring, pauses, shows the time lapse of nothing of that same photo, and then pops back on at 5:12 a.m., and his car is gone and just continues recording the rest of the day no problem,” Moen said.

Ralph Pollard, the coach’s father, said he last saw his son on Sunday, and nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary.

“Never expressed in any way or any form that he had an issue,” he said.

Detectives walked the neighborhood on Thursday to speak with the family and their neighbors.

Pollard’s family hopes he comes back home soon.

“I just hope that if, for whatever reason, that he’s in the listening distance of my voice that he would just say, ‘Hi, I’m OK,’ or just say something to us,” Pollard said.

Police asked Moen not to share the Ring video with reporters while they continue their investigation.

If you have any information on his whereabouts, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
