Search For Bergen Mother Lingers For Weeks

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — The search for a missing Rochelle Park mother continues nearly three weeks after she was last seen.

Erin Stack, 36, was last seen in Paterson on May 22, a State Police missing persons report states. She has a 7-year-old daughter, Emma.

Stack's mother, Lori, said her daughter has a new phone and a charger with her, however, the phone has been dead since the night she went missing.

"We are super concerned and worried," Lori Stack Greenleaf said in a Facebook post. "She had nothing on her, besides a little pocketbook with her charger, and a little make up. Please pray we find her safe."

Greenleaf said her daughter, a Ridgefield Park native, "fell on hard times" about 18 months ago. She has been trying to "get back on her feet" and was living in a shelter in Hackensack for a while.

Greenleaf and Stack went to Eva's Village in Paterson and filled out paperwork to get Stack into a program there for women, but she never checked in there, Greenleaf said.

Greenleaf said many friends, family, police officers, including detectives, have been searching for Stack for the 20 days she has been missing.

Stack is 5'2," weighs 102 pounds, has brown hair, green eyes, and a fair complexion. She was last seen wearing a black and white Johnny Cash T-shirt, gray sweater, and a black and white yoga pants.

Anyone with information about Stack's possible location can call the State Police, Missing Persons Unit at 609-882-2000, ext. 2554 or email missingp@gw.njsp.org.
