TOMS RIVER – A 52-year-old township man who hasn’t been seen or heard from since Christmas Day has been reported missing. His family is asking the public’s help in a desperate plea to find him.
Jersey Shore Online received an email from a cousin of Deane LaBranche, reporting that he was missing.
In the email, the family member said LaBranche last spoke to his sister Brooke Spurlock of California on the phone on Christmas Day.
Spurlock posted on Facebook that LaBranche, who also goes by the nickname Dino, had been reported missing January 4th after Toms River Police found his car abandoned at Shelter Cove.
In the car were personal items including his guitar which would have been out of character for him to have left the items behind.
Anyone with information on LeBranche is asked to call Toms River Police Officer Austin Pelka at 732-349-0150. the Toms River Police Department.
