Aaron John Watkins, 18, left his Plainfield, New Jersey, home in the late afternoon of a Sunday in early November 2007. He was driving a 1997 Jeep that belonged to his roommate and supervisor and said he was going to an acquaintance’s house to retrieve some personal items. That was the last confirmed sighting.

Around 6:45 p.m. the Jeep was found abandoned on the shoulder of the Driscoll Bridge over the Raritan River with Aaron’s cell phone inside. A dive team searched the river with no success and fishermen nearby reported hearing a thump at the base of the bridge, though no one saw anyone jump. Authorities cleared the people they interviewed, and the Plainfield Police Department continues to list the case as open.

Aaron was described as white, brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches, about 140 pounds, with pierced ears and tongue and a small mole under his right eye. Did anyone in the area remember seeing Aaron, that Jeep, or anything on the Driscoll Bridge that evening?
