Stephanie Parze Search In Freehold Twp.'s Turkey Swamp Park Again

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, NJ — The search for Stephanie Parze will tackle a large parcel in Turkey Swamp Park on Saturday and Sunday, the largest area that has been covered so far.

Edward Parze on Thursday said he and his family always welcome anyone who has time to volunteer their help to find his missing daughter. Stephanie, 25, was last seen by the family Oct. 30, after an outing to a comedy club in New Brunswick.

Her ex-boyfriend, John Ozbilgen, who killed himself Nov. 22, is considered a person of interest in her disappearance.

Investigators are continuing to pursue every lead in the case, Edward Parze said, but they have revealed few details of the information they do know.

So far, volunteers, whom the Parzes refer to as "Steph's Angels," have searched 44 sites in New Jersey, in Freehold Township and along the northbound side of the route to Staten Island, where Ozbilgen originally was from and where he was employed, according to an NJ.com report.

Those who would like to assist in the efforts can meet up at the staging area at the Turkey Swamp Park maintenance building at 66 Nomoco Road, Freehold. Volunteers will be staging at 9 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday, Edward said.

Anyone planning to help search is asked to register at bit.ly/BringStephHomeJan1819, to help give them a count on the number of volunteers.
