Vandergrift has been missing since February 23, according to the radio station and officials. He was last seen in the 200 block of King Street in San Francisco.

Vandergrift’s wife, Natasha Yi, stated in a statement issued more than a week after his disappearance that “personal information has now been uncovered that leads us to believe JV will not be returning.”

There is no evidence to corroborate allegations of foul play in Vandergrift’s disappearance, according to San Francisco police.

Vandergrift is bald, 6 feet tall, and weighs 180 pounds, according to officials. He has numerous tattoos, including those on his arms and over his right ear. His eyes are brown. He was last seen wearing black sweatpants.

JV has been involved in Bay Area radio for almost three decades. Vandergrift, Dan “Elvis” Lay, and Lance “Hollywood” Otani were part of “The Doghouse” morning team on Wild, one of the most popular Bay Area radio shows at the time, in the 1990s.
