CATAWBA COUNTY, N.C. — Family members -- as well as investigators -- are growing more concerned about foul play in the disappearance of a Catawba County father earlier this month.

Reporter Dave Faherty spoke with the parents of Tony Jaworsky on Tuesday, who said they are very concerned. Deputies said they are calling Jaworsky’s disappearance suspicious.

The 29-year-old’s parents said they last saw their son on July 13. They told Channel 9 he is very close with his children and would never miss one of their birthdays, something that has since happened.

‘Please bring my son home’: Deputies investigate Catawba County father’s ‘suspicious’ disappearance
Tony Jaworsky’s car was found abandoned along Interstate 40 in Iredell County -- about 20 miles from his home -- days after his disappearance
Not sure what day the car was found, I hope there are leads inside the car. I wonder when he was actually noticed missing? They just found the car yet he's been missing for 23 days. He loves his kids, when did they last see them? Does he work? Any job reporting or asking about him not showing up? It just seems like a long time to be missing before being reported. IMO
adding: wonder if there was a problem with the car? Gas?Engine etc?

Just a note - the articles say his parents last saw him the 13th, so not 23 days, but today marks 15 days.

Still missing.

Yeah I'd be interested when the car was found too (says "days after disappearance"), because I'm pretty sure the NC State Patrol would not let a car be parked along the Interstate without checking it out quickly. Also North Carolina also has a road ranger service "NCDOT State Farm® Safety Patrol" where they also patrol to help stranded motorists. From there they probably try and contact the owner and then tow it if unable to reach the owner, and either one would have a time stamp of originally calling it in.

@mlhenn Big thanks for finding that date! Now we know for sure that 10 days after he went missing his car was found. I'm still thinking there's no way they would let a car sit abandoned along an Interstate for very long, so where had it been and who was driving when it was left there? It seems like I always take one step forward and two steps back when trying to think about these cases lol.

I agree; 10 days is a long time period for an abandoned vehicle to sit on the side of a roadway, especially an interstate.

I found the following article (2019) that discussed concerns over abandoned vehicles in NC. Apparently, it’s a problem.

What's with cars left by the side of the road in North Carolina?

Over the last three years, North Carolina State Highway Patrol reported thousands of calls about abandoned vehicles:

In 2017, the state received 3,269 complaints. That number rose in 2018 to 4,115. So far this year, 2,432 calls have been placed.

"As long as the vehicle is not posing a hazard, they have a 24-hour period," Sgt. Chris Knox with the Highway Patrol told us when asked how long-abandoned vehicles have to be towed.

Typically, a trooper will mark the vehicle with a bright orange tag indicating the clock is ticking.

If the car is left in the travel lane or not completely off the shoulder, it may be towed sooner.

I agree. Two or three days on an NC highway wouldn't be unusual, especially if one left a rag in the driver's window. That's sort of like a code in NC that you're coming back to get it.

But sitting for ten days on I-40 seems quite unlikely. I-40 goes for about 15 miles through Iredell Co. with an intersection with I-77 plus several exits for Statesville. It's usually very busy. The video of the car from @mlhenn's MSM link showed a slight dent in the left rear door. Not sure if that's of any concern or not.
ETA just saw great reply by @mlhenn

Still nothing re Anthony. I will say that I hate when someone "cleans" up their FB (not talking about Anthony's FB). Sure raises my suspicions. Grrr.

From there they probably try and contact the owner and then tow it if unable to reach the owner, and either one would have a time stamp of originally calling it in.

This is the official map for the NCDOT State Farm Safety Patrol for that part of NC. Wonder where exactly on I-40 the vehicle was located. Of note, cars have sat for multiple days in my part of NC with that "Special" little Fluorescent orange sticker on it before the car is either picked up by the owner or towed off. (There have been several times I have had to stop myself from writing the date on the back window in the dust and dirt.) Gotta love ENC

Family members have posted on social media he is still missing as recently as an hour ago (Sept. 5).

Sad that he's still missing and there has been no news reported since last year. But this timeline makes more sense now: car was found two days later. Earlier it was reported that his car was found ten days later.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here with a wild guess but do y’all think this pertains to Anthony?

Catawba County deputies could be seen digging on the property for hours, along the driveway and also about 50 yards away in a field.

“The person was last seen here at this resident, so we’re executing a search warrant trying to find evidence if the person was here,” said Burke County Sheriff Steve Whisenant.

Authorities have not yet released the name of the person in the missing person case.
