JV Vandergrift: San Francisco radio DJ missing after making worrying edits to Instagram caption

A Bay Area radio DJ disappeared without a trace and may have left a chilling final message for his fans and loved ones after he disappeared.

Jeffrey ‘JV’ Vandergrift, 54, the host of The JV Show on radio station Wild 94.9, was last seen around 10 p.m. Thursday at his San Francisco home.

A post on Vandergrift’s official Instagram account from August 20 was recently edited to change the subtitles to the past tense, thanking his listeners and saying he’s had a good life.

‘Thank you for a wonderful life filled with joy, laughter, pain and struggle. It has been a great journey. Your support and prayers meant the world,” the caption reads.

His listeners, friends and family are now asking the public to help locate him and bring him home.

This is the caption for Vandergrift’s photo that was edited three days ago.

The post, according to his Twitter account, was originally shared as a celebration of National Radio Day.

‘It’s #NationalRadioDay, I know, who gives a fart!? I’ve been in ’94 since ’94. Wow, that’s a long time! Super thankful for each of you who have been on this journey with me,’ she wrote at the time.

Since he edited the post and disappeared, the comments section has become a place for his fans and loved ones to send him love and support in hopes that he gets to see it.

‘Dear JV. You are loved. We are all praying for you and thinking of you,’ wrote one person.

‘We all pray for you and think of you. Sometimes it’s nice to get away and clear our heads, but we’re worried about you,” said one commenter.

‘JV…..listen to your listeners. We’ve been listening to you since the 1990s. Now it’s your turn to listen to your listeners. You are so loved!! We still need more than 40 years of hearing you on the radio! Praying for his safe return to his family,” another fan wrote.

‘Hello friend, come home. We miss you and we love you brother. At least let us know you’re safe,” another person said.

Fans also gathered outside iHeart Radio San Francisco over the weekend to leave flowers and messages of support for Vandergrift and his co-workers.
