Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office

Pennsylvania prosecutors released security-camera photos on Thursday of two men who they say used the credit cards of a missing Brooklyn cafe owner, Joshua Rubin, hours after his burned body was found along a rural road in Pennsylvania.

The photos were taken Nov. 1 at Woodbury Common, an outlet center in Orange County, N.Y. They show two young men with close-cropped hair in hooded jackets carrying shopping bags.

Mr. Rubin, 30, had last been seen on Oct. 31 near his home in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, where he owned the Whisk Bakery Cafe.

Around 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 1, his body was found along a road in South Whitehall Township, Pa., about two hours west of New York. Less than 12 hours later, the Lehigh County district attorney’s office said, two men used Mr. Rubin’s credit cards to “make multiple purchases at several stores” at Woodbury Common, about 120 miles northeast of where Mr. Rubin’s body was found.

One of the men appears to be carrying a bag from the clothing company Superdry, which has a store at the outlet center.

For weeks, family members and law enforcement agencies in New York searched for Mr. Rubin, unaware that his body had been found. For weeks, the Pennsylvania authorities tried to figure out whose remains were lying by the roadside. The body was not identified as Mr. Rubin’s until Dec. 20. He had been shot; his death was ruled a homicide.

Anyone with information about the men in the images is asked to call Detective Lou Tallarico of the Lehigh County district attorney’s Homicide Task Force at (610) 437-5252.
