'Baltimore Sun': Missing Cockeysville Man Possibly Upset About Overdue Rent

A Cockeysville man, who went missing in Philadelphia on Thursday evening, was possibly distressed about overdue rent, according to The Baltimore Sun.

The Sun reported that Roswell Friend, a recent Temple University graduate and former student at Dulaney High School, wrote “Sorry guys” on a white board to his roommates.

Friend was last seen in the 1700 block of Wilmington Street at around 7:30 p.m., Philadelphia police said. He was wearing a T-shirt, running shorts and sneakers, and was going for a jog. Police added that Friend’s jogging route takes him through a "bad" part of town.

The Sun also reported that several Temple cameras caught Friend early in his jogging trek.

A search of his home found that his house keys were missing, but his car keys, cell phone and wallet were still inside, police said.

An Associated Press story stated that Friend’s mom Regina said he had a job interview he didn’t show up to on Friday morning. According to the Sun, he was interviewing for a position at Comcast, a Philadelphia-based cable operator.

Ray Betzner, a Temple spokesman, said the university is working with Friend’s family to investigate.
