His family didn't realize he was missing until April 20.

Grewal lives in East Kildonan with his father, who thought he went to his brother's for the weekend. His brother, meanwhile, thought Grewal was with his father.

It wasn't until one of Grewal's co-workers called to say he hadn't shown up to work for a couple of days that the family realized he was missing.
