Jarrett Lee Burton, 58, was last seen at about 8:00 p.m. on April 4, 2007, at his home in the 1400 block of Seidersville Road in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. A microbiologist with a Ph.D., Burton left after an argument with his girlfriend wearing a light-colored ripped dress shirt, beige dress pants and black shoes. He is described as a Black male, 6 feet tall, 190 pounds, with graying black hair, brown eyes, wire-framed eyeglasses, a scar at the base of his throat, a scar on his right index finger and a freckle on his nose.

Burton had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and attention deficit disorder and reportedly had stopped taking his medication before he vanished. His family has expressed concern that he might be living on the streets or may have chosen to disappear and assume a new identity, but there has been no contact or confirmed sightings since that night. The Salisbury Township Police Department continues to list the case as open.

If anyone knew Jarrett’s habits, places he frequented, or has information about his whereabouts in April 2007, please come forward.
