Bon Jovi Asks Public To Help Find Sayreville Man Who Remains Missing

SAYREVILLE, NJ — A 29-year-old Sayreville man who ran away from home this Sunday, and is on the autism spectrum, still remains missing as of Wednesday afternoon.

As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, Jonathan Misak has still not been found, said Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone and Acting Sayreville Police Chief Daniel Plumacker in a joint statement.

On Monday night, rocker Jon Bon Jovi, who grew up in Sayreville, retweeted a flyer looking for the young man.

"Please keep an eye out for Jonathan in the Sayreville, NJ area. Let’s get him back safely to his family," tweeted Bon Jovi.

At 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Misak left his home on foot and never returned. Family members described him as being intellectually impaired. He is 5-10 and weighs 210 pounds.

He was last seen in the Main Street Townhomes complex, where he lives. Misak was last seen wearing a blue short-sleeve shirt with the Denver Broncos logo on the front and back, blue jeans and sneakers.

A massive search for him has been underway: Multiple State Police helicopters combed the Sayreville, Old Bridge and Aberdeen areas through the day Tuesday. Police dogs were also deployed and police ATVs searched all the wooded areas.

Misak’s sister told NJ.com her brother left home on foot without a wallet, money identification or a cell phone. He has never left home before and he has trouble speaking clearly and understanding questions, she said. He is often nervous around strangers, she said.

She said her brother likes to ride his bicycle around the areas of Ernston Road, Washington Road, Main Street and Ernston Road in Sayreville.

"Sayreville, we need your help," Sayreville Police posted to Facebook on Monday. "Jonathan left his home yesterday, (Sunday, Sept 25) around 3:30 p.m. after having an argument with a family member. Jonathan is on the autism spectrum and is high functioning. He was last seen wearing a blue Denver Broncos t-shirt with an orange logo."
