Friends and family of a missing Vernon man are concerned and hoping anyone with information will come forward.

Thirty-eight-year-old Jay Rosenberger was last seen Friday night at the Village Green Hotel where he works as the manager.

He never returned to work the next day, his car is missing, his phone is dead, and police have been notified.

The following is a post on Facebook from Rosenberger’s sister Holly Frances of Edmonton:

“I can’t believe I’m writing this post, it feels like we are in a nightmare we can’t wake up from. My brother Jay Rosenberger – age 38 – has officially been reported as missing.
This is completely out of character for him. If anyone has seen him or has any information please contact me. He was last seen in Vernon, BC Friday night at 11 p.m. Please please please share.
