David Scott Abramovitz was 23 when he was last seen at his family’s home on Bickford Drive in Morristown, New Jersey, on May 3, 2001. A recent Rutgers graduate, he was described as a gifted writer, artist, and pianist who worked with dogs at The Seeing Eye in Morristown. He was 6 feet 1 inch, 145–155 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes, a gap between his front teeth, and was often seen wearing a rope choker necklace.

In the weeks before he disappeared he quit his job, emptied his bank account, gave away belongings and a painting, and told his sister he was going on an adventure to figure things out. Cell phone activity was traced to the Burlington, Vermont, area shortly after he vanished, and searches were carried out at Quechee Gorge because he had mentioned that bridge, but no evidence was found.

Family members remain divided between fearing he took his own life and hoping he started a new life elsewhere, possibly in western states or Canada. If anyone in New Jersey, Vermont, the West, or Canada remembers David or has information about his movements after May 3, 2001, please come forward.
