BARON
The Lackawanna County district attorneys office has the results of DNA tests from evidence collected in the search for missing Old Forge restaurant owner Robert Baron.
Shane Scanlon, the district attorney, declined to discuss what those results are until his office has a chance to speak with Barons family, he said.
We have a meeting scheduled with the family next week to discuss portions of the case and testing, Scanlon said.
Today marks two months since Baron, the 58-year-old owner of Ghigiarellis on South Main Street, was last seen. His son, 30-year-old Bobby Baron, reported him missing to police when he learned his father was neither responding to text messages nor in the restaurant or upstairs apartment.
Since then, police have found evidence that suggests Baron may have been assaulted in the restaurant. The discovery of a tooth and a bloody afghan raised their suspicions.
Police also found Barons 2006 Hyundai Elantra parked in the 100 block of Howard Street a few days later. The car had excessive mud on the tires and undercarriage, along with what appeared to be blood stains in four locations.
Scanlon said detectives from his office and officers from the Old Forge Police Department are still following up on tips.
Meanwhile, Barons family continues waiting for answers. A








page set up to increase the cash reward for information had garnered more than $2,000 and hundreds of shares on social media by Friday evening.
Its certainly difficult, Barons brother, Mark Baron, said. His daughters and son are the ones who are struggling the most. They really miss their dad.
