Dean Wysocki, KLKN’s chief meteorologist, is no longer with the Lincoln ABC affiliate where he delivered the station's first weather forecasts 24 years ago.
Wysocki does not appear on the station’s website, which now lists only Liz Whalley on its weather team. Wysocki has posted on social media that he was fired.
Over the weekend, social media posts surfaced asking for the public's help to find Cathy Wysocki, Dean Wysocki's wife since earlier this year.
Lincoln police say Cathy Wysocki was reported missing at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, but was no longer missing by Monday.Â
It's unclear if there's any connection between the reported disappearance and Wysocki's job status.
Kern Dant, KLKN's general manager, declined to comment citing personnel matters.
