Bay Area Radio: Grim Reality..JV Is Not Coming Back


In a social media posting, the wife of missing DJ Jeffrey Vandergrift, who goes by the name "JV" on air, revealed "that personal information has recently been discovered that leads us to believe JV will not be coming back."

Natasha Yi, who is also a KYLD Wild 94.9 host, apologized for her silence over the last several days, but said she and her family have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of public support, reports CBS Bay Area.

Vandergrift was last seen around 10 p.m. last Thursday at his residence.  San Francisco Police announced Friday that the 54-year-old went missing and was believed to be "at-risk."  

JV has had a long history in Bay Area radio, dating back three decades. In the 1990s, Vandergrift, along with 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.
