TMZ states that London's loved ones filed the report yesterday (December 27). London was born in Trinidad and Tobago, so it's said that several of his relatives made their way to Los Angeles to connect with the authorities face-to-face.

In a statement, the rapper's father, Larry Moses London, made an emotional plea to his missing 35-year-old son.

"Theo, your Dad loves you, son," said the patriarch. "We miss you. And all your friends and relatives are searching for you. Wherever you are send us some signal." He added, "No matter what we will come get you son."
