ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Police are still searching for a missing man, 50, who may be in danger.

Jared Oswald, known to his loved ones as ‘Bear’, was last seen at Turning Point Park on the city’s north side. We also know that he walked away from a house on Harding Road, about half a mile from the park, on Monday morning.

RPD didn’t comment on why Jared could be in danger but said “there are circumstances with his disappearance that are far outside of his normal behavior that lead us to question his well-being.”

Oswald was seen on surveillance video entering the park Monday morning, according to police. The video cannot be shared due to the investigation. Friends and family said he packed for work as usual but ended up at the park instead.

“He’s very adventurous like very fun and adventurous. But he doesn’t lose communication with his family. You know we all talk to him all the time,” a family member said.

Oswald was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, green t-shirt, and blue jeans. He is about 5 foot 11. Anyone with information that can help find Oswald is asked to call 911.

Chad Webb-Fezer, a friend of Oswald, said, “This is very out of character for him. Bear’s a big strong guy. So he knows how to handle himself and he can get around just fine.” Esther Kwong, Oswald’s sister, expressed hope, saying, “Our family has chosen to keep faith alive. We are people of faith. We are people of hope.”

A group of friends and family has been searching daily for Oswald. They plan to coordinate a search party in the Charlotte neighborhood on Saturday at 7:30am and use RCSD School No. 42 as their command center. The volunteers plan to encourage residents to check their doorbell cameras for any video that may help.

“He’s not just a face on a poster. He’s just not a name on the news. He’s a father. He’s a son. He’s our brother. He’s an uncle. He’s a beloved family community friend to everyone,” said Esther Kwong, Oswald’s sister.
