Resist The Urge To Search For Missing Shipley Teen, School Asks

Shipley School school officials are asking the community to "resist any urge" to participate in a search for a student who was reported missing Wednesday.

In an email to the school community that was shared on Facebook, Steve Piltch, Shipley's Head of School, said he has been in communication with Austin Wylie's family.

The family told Piltch they are confident authorities are "doing all that can be done" to find Wylie, he said. "It is with this in mind that the family requests that we resist any urge to participate in a search."

Wylie was reported missing Wednesday after the rising senior's car was found at Fifth and Spring Garden streets in Philadelphia

Numerous friends have taken to social media to spread the word of the teen's disappearance.

Wylie is described by NBC10 as a "standout soccer player" who recently finished his junior year at the Bryn Mawr private school.
