Police search for missing man in Garret Mountain Reservation

The search for the missing person continued Wednesday.

WOODLAND PARK — Police on Tuesday arrived at a pond by Garret Mountain Reservation trying to find a missing man, authorities said.

Police received a report of a man missing and clothing found at the reservation around 12 p.m., said Bill Maer, a spokesman for the Passaic County Sheriff's Department. The man is believed to be in his mid to late 30s.

Yellow tape blocked off parts of a walking trail.

“Police said they were looking for a guy,” said a fisherman named Paul, who declined to give his last name. “They said he left his wallet, his coat. Everything.”

Members of the Paterson Fire rescue water team were seen circling parts of a pond. A firefighter at the scene said no one was found.

New Jersey State Police, Paterson Police and the sheriff's department are assisting in the investigation.
