Darius Miniotas was 29 when he was last seen in Carteret, New Jersey, on November 19, 1994. An immigrant from Kaunas, then part of the Soviet Union, he was described as 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, about 180 pounds, with blond hair, blue eyes, numerous birthmarks and a surgical scar on the right side of his abdomen from an appendectomy. On the day he vanished he wore a navy sweater, green pants and black shoes and was wearing a wedding ring.

Details about his life in Carteret are sparse. There is an unconfirmed note that he may once have been part of the crew of a Lithuanian yacht that visited Atlantic Highlands years earlier, suggesting a connection to the sea, but little else about his work, friends or routine is publicly recorded.

Anyone with memories of Darius, knowledge of his time in Carteret, or information about his disappearance is asked to come forward.
