Missing For 21 Years From Morristown, Police Seek Help Finding Man

MORRISTOWN, NJ — Morristown and state agencies seek the public's help in the search for a man last seen more than 20 years ago.

State Police posted an age-progression photo (see above) of Broome, who is now 66. Authorities described him as a Black man with brown eyes, who stands 5 feet, 6 inches.

Patch asked State Police for more details about the missing-persons case, but a spokesperson deferred to Morristown law enforcement. Patch reached out to the Morristown Department of Public Safety and will update with any response.
