As Morris County marks the 40th anniversary, Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll, Chief of Detectives Robert McNally, and Montville Police Department Chief Andrew Caggiano are asking for the public’s help in locating a Montville man, Edward Lawrence DuBarry, who was last seen in 1984.

The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and their law enforcement partners mark this anniversary by reminding the public of this ongoing investigation, and to once again ask for the public’s help.

DuBarry, who was 36-years-of-age at the time, was last seen on the morning of September 7, 1984, at his residence in the vicinity of Church Lane and Two Bridges Road in Towaco, NJ. His vehicle, a 1974 Chevrolet pickup truck, was later recovered on September 14, 1984, at the Resort Point, Delaware Water Gap.

DuBarry would be 76-years-old today.

An investigation revealed DuBarry’s credit card was used to pay for a room at the Howard Johnson Hotel on Route 211 in Middletown, New York, the evening of September 7, 1984, and then used two more times that day at a truck stop in Columbia, New Jersey and a gas station in Matamoras, Pennsylvania. Four days later, it was used one more time at a gas station in Pompton Plains.

DuBarry has scars on his chin, right elbow, and finger. He is a white male, with blue eyes, who at the time of his disappearance, was 5’5”, 140 pounds, and had brown hair.

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to call the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Missing Persons Unit at 973-285-6200.
