Authorities and loved ones are searching for Thomas “TJ” Mauch, a 34-year-old man from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, who vanished early Friday morning and remains unaccounted for as of late Sunday night.

According to the Berkeley Heights Police Department, Mauch was last seen around 4:45 a.m. on October 3 near Glenside Road in Berkeley Heights Township. His disappearance has since sparked growing concern among his family, friends, and the wider community.
