READING, Pa. – Tonight, a family is pleading for help to find their missing son who was last seen in Reading.<\/p>\n

23-year-old Michael Petrino was last seen in Reading on March 25.<\/p>\n

Police he moved to the city from Lebanon County about two months ago.<\/p>\n

We’re told he got a new apartment and a new job but never showed up for his first day.<\/p>\n

Officials say his car was found in the 1200 block of Muhlenberg Street, which police say they’re analyzing.<\/p>\n

His family says his disappearance is very unusual.<\/p>\n

“It’s just no like our son. He checks in regularly – Facetime, texting, calling. And for him not to even call me on my birthday was very unsettling,” said Shanni Petrino, mother.<\/p>\n

Petrino is 5’7″ and was last seen wearing a grey Nike hoodie, black sweatpants and black Crocs.<\/p>\n
