John Peter Valaitis Jr., 65, was last heard from on February 9, 2013, after vanishing from Summit, New Jersey. He was described then as a white male, six feet tall, about 200 pounds, with brown hair showing salt-and-pepper at the sides, a matching mustache, and brown almond-shaped eyes. The disappearance was reported to Summit Police several months later and entered into NamUs as MP22691.

Valaitis was known as a quiet, active outdoorsman with pest-control experience. Concerns about his welfare noted a history of alcohol abuse and possible heart problems. Public information does not specify what he was wearing, what belongings he had, or how he might have been traveling when last seen, and there have been few public appeals or media reports.

If anyone in Summit or the surrounding area remembers seeing John around February 9, 2013, or has information that could help clarify his movements, please come forward to the Summit Police Department.
