John H. Crankshaw, 51, of Williamstown, New Jersey, was last seen walking away from his home in Monroe Township in the fall of 2020. He was described as six feet tall, about 195 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes.

The Monroe Township Police Department opened an investigation and assigned Detective Sergeant Kristyn Morris. His information was entered in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as MP78723. Despite public appeals and circulation of his description, the case produced few significant leads and remained unresolved for years.

Remains later recovered were confirmed by DNA to be those of John Crankshaw, bringing the active search to a close and leaving his family and community with unanswered questions. Does anyone have information about John’s activities or whereabouts in late October to November 2020?
