Buncombe County deputies are searching for an Asheville man who has been missing since last Friday.
Robert King, 59, was reported missing on Sunday.
Investigators continue to comb the area where King’s car was found on Hazel Mill Road, while his sister Diana Perez and other members of his family are preparing themselves for the worst.
“I think someone did something, and I think somebody knows something about it,” Perez said.

Investigators won’t confirm whether or not foul play is suspected in this case.
But, Perez said, she can’t imagine her brother would just take off.
“He wouldn’t have left his car like that — He’s just not that kind of person,” Perez said.
King’s sister told News 13 the car was found with some minor scratches on the side and the side mirror hanging off.
But, it’s what’s inside the car that has aroused suspicion.
“When we found the car, the seat looked too close for a 5’10 man to get in there and drive,” Perez said. “There’s no way. I could barely get in there and I’m 5’6.”
Perez told News 13 the last time she spoke with her brother was about four hours before he went missing.
She pulled up their text conversation.
“I know he was OK at 5:05 p.m.,” Perez said.
According to Perez, King has diabetes and she’s concerned he may be out there without his insulin.
