Edward Lawrence DuBarry, known as Ed or Eddie, was 36 when he was last seen at his home near Church Lane and Two Bridges Road in the Towaco section of Montville, New Jersey, on the morning of September 7, 1984. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 5 inches, 140–150 pounds, with light brown hair, hazel eyes, several scars on his chin, right elbow and a finger, freckles, upper dentures and some missing lower teeth.
A week after he disappeared, on September 14, 1984, his white 1974 Chevrolet pickup was found abandoned at Resort Point on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware Water Gap; a rock had been thrown through the passenger-side window. His credit card showed a string of transactions beginning the evening he vanished: a Howard Johnson hotel room in Middletown, New York; purchases at a truck stop in Columbia, New Jersey, and a gas station in Matamoras, Pennsylvania. A final use was recorded four days later, on September 11, at a gas station in Pompton Plains. It is not known whether DuBarry made those purchases.
The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and Montville Township Police have continued to seek information and have released an age-progressed image in the years since. Did anyone in the Towaco, Delaware Water Gap, or Middletown areas remember Ed, his truck, or those transactions in September 1984?
