Moses Ndeda left for work on May 22, 2013 at 2p.m. and since then, no one has seen or heard from him.
His family has known no peace and their search for him in morgues, hospitals, among relatives and any other place they think he may have gone remains fruitless.
Ndeda, 27, and father of three, worked as a casual laborer at a Nakuru wholesale market and on that fateful day left his Machanga home and boarded a tuk tuk for work.
His wife Emily Awuor wonders what could have befallen her husband and wonders why fate has seen it fit to subject her and their three children to such a painful existence.
"It is very painful to live without a loved one, more so when you do not know whether he is dead or alive. I nonetheless hold on to the belief that he will one day come back to us," she says.
Ndeda's father, Ernest Amuguni, says he has not lost hope even though all attempts to look for his dear son have remained fruitless.
"I have been in an out of hospitals, prisons and any other place I thought my son could be found but in vain. What has remained now is to pray that one day will find him alive," he says.
Mzee Amuguni appears to have an idea of what could have happened to his son saying that he was carted away from the tuk tuk by people pretending to be police officers.
"I was told by the tuk tuk driver that my son was handcuffed and removed from the tuk tuk before being bundled into a waiting personal car. There is nothing else I can confirm but I believe the truth will one day be unearthed and we will see him alive," he said.
The mzee says police have denied any involvement in his son's disappearance and that they too have been involved in the search.
"We have done everything we know to do in the search for our son. We are now appealing to anyone who reads this story and recognises Ndeda to please get in touch with us.
It has been way too long," Amugumi says with the look of a father deep in mourning.
