Two 14-year-olds flee MTA officers, remain missing after vanishing from New Jersey train station

Authorities are continuing to search for two 14-year-old boys who went missing after leaving a New Jersey train station on Friday and were later seen in Connecticut.

Montville Township Police Department Chief Andrew Caggiano told News Agency that Brayden Morrissey, 14, Dominic Diliberto, 14, and William Connolly, 17, were reported missing after disappearing from the Denville Train Station at around 5:30 p.m. local time Friday.

The search later shifted to Connecticut after the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) located the three teenagers at a train station in Stamford, Caggiano said.

MTA officers took Connolly into protective custody, but Morrissey and Diliberto ran off, Caggiano told News Agency on Saturday.
