Family Looking For Missing Man With Teaneck And Englewood Ties

ENGLEWOOD, NJ — Police are asking the public's help in finding a missing man with ties to the area.

Earl Alleyne was last seen leaving his Bronx, New York home March 20 and has not been seen since, said Englewood Police Detective Captain Timothy Torell.

Alleyne's family reported him missing to the Englewood Police Department April 12.

Alleyne is a mental health patient who needs medication on a regular basis.

"His family is extremely concerned and worried about his well-being," Torell said.

Alleyne has ties to Englewood and Teaneck. He was reportedly seen near the King Gardens apartment complex in Englewood's Fourth Ward last month, but police have been unable to confirm that sighting, Torell said.

Alleyne's information has been entered into the National Crime Information Center in the hopes that a police officer somewhere will see him, Torell said.

Police are collecting DNA from family members as part of the investigation and hospitals in the tri-state area have been checked, Torell said.

Alleyne is African-American, 5'10" tall, weighs 311 pounds, and has black hair and facial hair. He was last seen wearing a blue checkered coat, blue sweatpants, and gray sneakers.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Englewood Police Department at 201-568-2700, or the department's Detective Bureau at 201-568-4875.
