Police in Fayetteville, North Carolina, are searching for a soldier who has been missing for several days.

Sgt. Carl Seeman, 25, was reported missing on Sunday night by a fellow soldier, Fayetteville Police spokesman Sgt. Shawn Strepay said.

Seeman's car was found at a local Wal-Mart that night with his cellphone inside, Strepay said.

Authorities found a car and cellphone abandoned in a Walmart parking lot belonging to Sgt. Carl Seeman, 25, a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne, Fort Bragg, according to ABC affiliate WTVD in Durham, N.C.

The missing soldier's grandfather is pleading for help.

"We just need to know he's safe," his grandfather, Jim Maloney, said, according to ABC affiliate WTVD in Durham.

"He's done his part for his country," Maloney said. "Now I guess we're asking his country for their help to find him."
