MISSING PERSON:

Please help us find this missing person. He was last seen last Saturday at 10:30PM driving eastbound on Cottman Avenue towards Frankford Ave. He was in a 2007 Jeep Liberty.

The Jeep has been found at Unruh and State Road at the Delaware River.

No one has seen or heard from him since 10:30 PM on Saturday. He was last seen leaving Calloway's Irish Inn in the NE (Cottman Avenue & Rowland Street) headed eastbound on Cottman Avenue (heading towards Frankford Ave.). He was driving a black 2007 Jeep Liberty which has since been recovered at Unruh and State Road near the Delaware River.

He was headed to the Wissinoming Yacht Club (5100 Devereaux Street) to meet up with friends and never showed up.

He is a 31 year old white male, approximately 5'9"-5'10", weighs 135-140lbs with short brownish hair and a goatee. He has the word "Babe" tattooed on his right forearm in old English letters and a green, white and orange Celtic clover surrounded with the words "In loving memory of Burr" tattooed on his left forearm. He also has the word "Erin" tattooed on his upper left chest.

If you have seen or heard from since 10:30 PM Saturday night or have any information related to his whereabouts please contact me immediately . His family is deeply worried and concerned. I would sincerely appreciate it if you guys could repost this and spread the word.

If you have any information about Joe, please call 911 immediately. His family is searching for him.

This is so scary. Why are the police not involved? I find that confusing.

Conflicting reports state that Joe's jeep was pulled from the river either Monday or Tuesday. He was NOT inside his jeep. His family and friends are all at State and Unruh searching along the shoreline, as well as up and down the Delaware river, in PA and NJ. They have been there all week, with no help from Police. There has been no media attention to this story. Local news channels will not air the story without authorization from the police, which they apparently will not give. His family is out there, every day, from 7am till it's too dark and unsafe to walk anymore. All they want is to bring their son, brother, uncle, and friend home. Please, if everyone can take an hour out of their day to help the search, or gather a few dollars to buy some coffee/donuts, flashlights, sweatshirts, anything at all. Spread the word, give Joe a voice!! Facebook has been the only outlet for his family so far. If you would like to help, all you have to do is show up, or contact one of the following people;

No, he is from the NE. A lot of his friends and family are from Fishtown though.
