COMPTON, Calif. (KABC) -- It's been nearly four months since the mysterious disappearance of Raymond Collins Jr., a local music video producer.

On Thursday, investigators made a new push for help from the public. Detectives suspect foul play in the disappearance.

"Somebody know something, and they are concealing it," said Ray Collins Sr. "We would like to have our son back."

Collins' family last saw the aspiring music video producer leaving their home in Chino the night of Feb. 16. They say he went to meet with friends in Compton.

Investigators say when Collins left a friend's home at Alondra Boulevard and Wilmington Avenue, he disappeared. His car was found abandoned a few blocks away in the 400 block of Raymond Street.

A witness reported seeing a man getting out of Collins' vehicle, but detectives do not know who that man was.

The city of Compton is now offering a $10,000 reward for information to find him.

If you know anything about the disappearance of Raymond Collins Jr., detectives want you to call Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.
