UPDATE (Sun. 4:25 p.m.) - Morro Bay Police were unable to locate the man last seen trespassing on Morro Rock Saturday evening.
Crews resumed their search at daybreak with a drone to survey the western top half of the rock with Habor Patrol, but were unable to locate anyone.
Officers closed down the parking lot and monitored the area through the night, but believe the man somehow climbed down and slipped out sometime in the middle of the night.
If you have any information, you are asked to call the Morro Bay Police Department.
