Hans J. Lee, a 50-year-old married father of two from Fort Lee, New Jersey, was reported missing on April 7, 2014. His silver Honda CRV was found abandoned at the Rockefeller Lookout on the Palisades Parkway the same day; police say the vehicle had been parked at the lookout for several hours before it was discovered. Lee’s wife last heard from him at 10:00 a.m. that morning, and he failed to pick up a child from school that afternoon.

An extensive search of the lookout and surrounding area was launched by the Palisades Interstate Parkway Police and the Fort Lee Police Department Emergency Services Unit, with support from the Englewood Cliffs Fire Department, New Jersey State Police Aviation Unit, Bergen County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit and the NYPD Harbor Unit. Lee is described as 5 feet 7 inches, 175 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes and a distinctive birthmark on the palm of one hand; he was last seen wearing a light blue t-shirt, beige pants and a navy blue Ralph Lauren jacket.

The circumstances — especially an abandoned vehicle at a scenic overlook and no confirmed sightings since that morning — have left family and investigators with unanswered questions. If anyone saw Hans Lee, his car, or anything unusual around the Rockefeller Lookout on April 7, 2014, please come forward with information.
