A missing 19-year-old’s parents are looking for any leads in connection to the disappearance of their son who has not been seen since Tuesday.
Blaze Bernstein was visiting his parents at their home in Foothill Ranch, California, while on break from the University of Pennsylvania.
‘The fact that he didn’t tell us he was going out tells us he wasn’t planning to be gone very long,’ Bernstein’s mother, Jeanne, said to KCAL.
‘And he left behind his wallet, ID, money, glasses and medications he takes every day.’

His parents added that the friend picked Bernstein up around 10.30pm and drove to Borrego Park
At 9.30pm, he was said to have texted a friend with his address to discuss something with a third person, as per a family lawyer friend, Annee Della Donna.
His parents added that the friend picked Bernstein up around 10.30pm and drove to Borrego Park.
Donna said that the teen went into the park by himself while the friend waited at the car.
The friend was said to have texted Bernstein, asking where he was and when there was no response, the high-school buddy left.
According to the friend, Bernstein went into Borrego Park by himself and didn’t return. The 19-year-old’s location tracking system stopped working and his phone was turned off at 11.30pm
‘Blaze if you hear me, it’s OK for you to come home, we love you’ his father Gideon Bernstein said
But by 4am, the friend returned to the location to look for Bernstein.
The lawyer said that the 19-year-old’s location tracking system stopped working and that the phone was turned off at 11.30pm.
His family realized something was off when he didn’t show up for a dental appointment on Wednesday.
‘Blaze if you hear me, it’s OK for you to come home, we love you’ his father Gideon Bernstein said.
Gideon added that his son is a sophomore hoping to declare a major in psychology with a minor in chemistry for a ‘pre-med focus’
