Sean Patrick Brown, 38, disappeared from the Harrison, New Jersey area after his family last saw him on May 21, 2024. His final known communication was a text saying he was being chased along a river, a message his family and investigators have singled out as indicating he may have been in immediate danger. He was known to frequent Harrison and nearby Newark, and there have been no confirmed sightings since that day.

Brown is a white male about six feet tall, weighing 140 to 170 pounds, with blue eyes and gray or partly gray hair. Distinguishing marks include the name Brown on his inner forearm, a black lightning bolt on his outer right ankle, a colorful celestial or ocean scene on his right shoulder and arm, a left eyebrow piercing, and multiple ear piercings. The Harrison Police Department Detective Bureau is actively investigating and has urged anyone in Harrison, Newark, or Upper Montclair who might have seen him to come forward.

If anyone saw Sean on or after May 21, 2024, or has information about the text message or his movements near local rivers, please share what is known with investigators.
