Longtime ESPN.com college football writer Ivan Maisel is asking for the public’s help in the search for his son, Max, who has not been seen since Sunday after he left his apartment at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York.
According to the Democrat & Chronicle, police located Max Maisel’s car on Monday near Charlotte Pier at the Port of Rochester on Lake Ontario, about a 25-minute drive from RIT’s campus. His mother, Meg Murray, said the “water calmed him. The pier is his favorite place.”
“We’re scared and we’re heartbroken. That’s why we’re asking for help,” Ivan Masiel said Wednesday at a news conference at the Charlotte Pier. Per the D&C, he described his son as quiet with a dry sense of humor who loved photography.
“We don’t know where Max is and that’s hard to deal with,” Ivan Maisel said. The family is trying to reconstruct his movements from when he left his apartment. They know he didn’t take his cellphone or camera equipment, but they said that was not unusual.
“It’s really hard not knowing where he is,” Murray said.
Rochester police are “trying to develop a strategy to attack the issue of searching the water,” Rochester Police Investigator Frank Camp said.
“Obviously, our heart goes out to Max’s family,” Camp said. “We’re working against the elements. We’re doing everything we can.”
