Two 14-Year-Olds Flee MTA Officers After Vanishing From New Jersey Train Station

Montville Township police say the youths were later seen in Stamford and are coordinating with MTA units in Connecticut as they continue an active search.

Overview

  • Montville Township police reported that Brayden Morrissey, 14, Dominic Diliberto, 14, and William Connolly, 17, disappeared from the Denville train station, a report said Friday.
  • MTA officers later located the three at the Stamford train station where they took Connolly into protective custody while Morrissey and Diliberto fled and remain missing.
  • Police released last-seen clothing: Morrissey wore a green hoodie, dark sweatpants and white sneakers, and Diliberto was wearing black clothing.
  • Authorities say they have no information that the boys are dangerous to themselves or others and remain in close contact with the youths' parents while urging any agency or person who finds them to call Montville police immediately.
  • The case highlights how regional rail links can move missing youths across state lines and has prompted interagency searches using K-9 teams and drones as Montville leads the ongoing investigation.
