NJ Man Missing, His Car Found Burning at Dealership: Police

Police are looking for a 55-year-old New Jersey man who they say went missing about a day before his SUV was burned in a suspicious fire at a car dealership.

Anthony Tassello, of Middletown, was last seen at about 9:15 a.m. Monday, according to police. He was reported missing by family members.

About a day after Tassello went missing, police say that his 2008 Ford Escape and four other vehicles were burned in a suspicious fire at Tom’s Ford Dealership on New Jersey Route 35 in Keyport.

Tassello was last seen wearing a gray tweed hat, a vest and blue jeans. Police say they are concerned for the man’s safety and that he may be in New York City.

Anyone with information on the man’s whereabouts is asked to call the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office at 800-553-7443.
