Police Looking For Missing Bergen Man With Schizophrenia

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Bergenfield police are looking for a missing man suffering from paranoid Schizophrenia who went missing Monday.

Thomas Araneo, 40, lives at a group home in Bergenfield. He was reported missing by a supervisor. Araneo does not have his medication with him, said Bergenfield police Capt. Mustafa Rabboh.

Araneo was last seen at Vantage Health System at 93 W. Palisade Ave. in Englewood, said Rabboh. He may have walked away from the facility to try and get transportation somewhere, he said, noting that authorities do not know where he would try to go.

Araneo is originally from East Hanover and often uses NJ Transit to get around.

Araneo is 5'8" tall, weighs about 200 pounds, and has blue eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing black denim pants, an orange hooded sweatshirt (possibly with the Denver Broncos logo on it), and a black Under Armour hat.

Anyone with information about Araneo's whereabouts or who may have seen him should call the Bergenfield Police Department at 201-387-4000.
