The parents of an 18-year-old from Burnaby who has been missing for more than four days say they're shocked and scared by his disappearance.
Bryan Braumberger was last seen late Wednesday night by a friend in a church parking lot in neighbouring New Westminster.
Bryan Braumberger, 18, of Burnaby has been missing since Thursday night.

The friend said Braumberger told him he was heading home because he had to work the next day.
His parents said when they returned home from a vacation on Friday, Brian was not home. His car was found abandoned.
"I'm feeling, I don't know how I'm feeling. I'm numb, I'm scared, I'm in disbelief, I'm shocked. I don't know what to think. I don't know what to say," his mother, Janice Braumberger, told CBC Radio on Monday.
"You know he's always touched bases, or comes in and has a shower, something to eat. It's out of character. The whole situation is out of character."
She said his friends are also puzzled and worried.
"Bryan is the type of kid that, especially with a few of these friends, he's in contact with them every day, several times a day. You know, they're always together."
The missing teen is described as Caucasian, six feet tall, 185 pounds, with brown hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt and shorts.
