Police ask members of the public for assistance in tracing missing Southampton man

Press Releases

Published: 05/11/2010


Detectives from Shirley CID are becoming increasingly concerned for the whereabouts of a 23-year-old Southampton man.

Jason Verge has not made contact with friends and family for several days and was last seen by a friend on Wednesday, October 20.
Have you seen Jason Verge?
He currently has no fixed address, but had been staying at various locations across Southampton – most recently at a property in Bellevue Road with a relation. 

Police are particularly concerned as Jason’s disappearance is totally out of character and he suffers from myotonic dystrophy – a muscular condition which causes his muscles to seize. Although he is not on medication for this he has some restricted mobility and is registered disabled.

He has also suffered from depression in the past and it is not known whether he has any money on him.

Det Insp Becky Riggs of Shirley CID, said: “We are worried about Jason and would urge him to come forward, contact his family or the police and let us know he is safe and well. “We know that he was meant to have visited his girlfriend on October 20 in the evening but failed to turn up and this is highly unusual.

"If you have seen Jason or know where he is then please contact police urgently.”

Jason is described as white, with short brown hair and small rounded glasses. He was last seen wearing blue stonewash jeans, black trainers which are falling to pieces, a white tracksuit jumper and a black leather jacket.
