Search Continues For Missing Montville Man 33 Years Later

MONTVILLE, NJ — 33 years after he went missing, authorities are still searching for Edward DuBarry, a Montville Township man who was last seen in 1984.

To mark the 33rd anniversary of his disappearance this Thursday, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office is putting out a fresh call for information about DuBarry's whereabouts.

DuBarry, a lifelong Montville resident, was last seen on Sept. 7, 1984. He was spotted in the area of Church Lane and Two Bridges Road in the Towaco section of the township.

That night, DuBarry's credit card was used to pay for a room at the Howard Jonson Hotel on Route 211 in Middletown, New York. It was also used at the Columbia Truck Stop on Simpson Road in Columbia and at Bartco Penn Petroleum on Stella Street in Matamoras, Pennsylvania.

His card was next used four days later on Sept. 11, at the Pompton Plains Shell station.

His 1974 white Chevy pick-up truck was found on Sept. 14 at Resort Point, just over the Delaware Water Gap in Pennsylvania.

DuBarry was 35-years-old when he went missing, and would be 69-years-old today. He has scars on his chin, right elbow, and across his fingers. He wears upper dentures and had previously fractured his wrist.

"Over the last 33 years, the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and the Montville Township Police Department have remained committed to finding DuBarry," Morris County Prosecutor Fredrc M. Knapp said. "During the course of the investigation, the prosecutor’s office and the police department have worked with numerous law enforcement agencies, including the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit, the National Park Service, the Pequannock Police Department and the Middletown, N.Y. Police Department."

Anyone with any information about DuBarry's whereabouts is asked to contact the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Tip Line at (973) 285-6355 or email to mcpotips@co.morris.nj.us.
