MISSING STUDENT IN NEW JERSEY
Please share, comment, and help push this post across New Jersey and beyond.
Twenty two year old Morty Wortman, a Rutgers University senior from Jackson Township, New Jersey, has been missing since November 21. Morty was last seen around 10:30 p.m. near a wooded area along High Bridge Road while visiting his mother’s home.
His car was found abandoned in the parking lot of the Regional Day School, only a short distance from where he was staying. Since then, law enforcement agencies have been searching the surrounding area with drones and canine units, and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office is now leading the investigation.
Friends and classmates at Rutgers are extremely worried. Several of them have been posting flyers and joining his relatives in searching the Pine Barrens area where Morty was last seen. Those close to him say this is completely out of character and they fear he may have been harmed.
Morty is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall and about 200 pounds. He has a nose piercing and multiple earrings. He was last known to be wearing a black T shirt, a burgundy hoodie, and blue jeans.
The area he vanished from is remote and heavily wooded. His loved ones are asking everyone in and around Jackson Township to check any cameras, properties, outbuildings, and trail areas.
If you have seen Morty or have any information that might help, please contact Jackson Township Police or your local authorities immediately.
Our team will continue sharing updates as they become available. Please help us bring visibility to his case by sharing this post. Every share reaches new eyes.

One of his close friends at Rutgers is Abigail Bischoff, who has been posting fliers with Wortman’s photo on them around campus.... "It's scary out there…it's in the middle of the Pine Barrens. There’s not a whole lot of people around,” said Bischoff.
Another fellow senior and close friend, Dylan Eskow, said he’s concerned someone might have harmed Wortman. "Totally, all of us are worried about it. He wouldn't just run away," he says. Eskow said he considers Wortman to be "a super nice kid. He always puts others above him, no matter what. Whether it’s family, friends or strangers in general.”

Relatives have posted a (fundraising page) in an effort to raise money for a private investigator to keep the search alive.
