Darryl Lawrence Cedeno was 28 when he disappeared after a medical visit on May 14, 2014. Edgewater Police had been called about a man in a backyard and found Cedeno on the Riverfront Walkway; he gave a false name, jumped into the Hudson River, and was rescued about 15 minutes later by Edgewater fire department’s marine unit. He was charged with obstructing the law and taken to Palisade Medical Center in North Bergen for treatment. He was last seen wearing a black top and black pants, possibly sweatpants.

Cedeno lives with an unspecified mental illness and has a history of depression with prior hospitalizations in New York and New Jersey. He is described as non-violent but potentially a danger to himself. He holds a U.S. passport and has a history of international travel, so leaving the country, being admitted elsewhere, or coming to harm have all been considered. The North Bergen Police Department is handling the investigation; his family continues to seek answers.

If anyone saw Darryl after he was taken to Palisade Medical Center or has information about his movements following May 14, 2014, please come forward.
