A Rutgers University student has been reported missing in his hometown.

Morty Wortman was last seen in Jackson Township six days ago. His friends on campus are concerned someone may have harmed him.

Wortman is 22 years old and is a senior studying on the Cook-Douglass campus in New Brunswick.

Police in Jackson Township say that Wortman was last seen on Nov. 21 at around 10:30 p.m. near a wooded area along High Bridge Road.

His car was discovered in the parking lot of the Regional Day School, which a relative says is only a short distance from his mother’s house, where he was visiting.

Since then, police have been searching with drones and canine units. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office has taken over the investigation.

One of his close friends at Rutgers is Abigail Bischoff, who has been posting fliers with Wortman’s photo on them around campus.

She was also in Jackson Township in recent days searching with Wortman’s relatives.

"It's scary out there…it's in the middle of the Pine Barrens. There’s not a whole lot of people around,” said Bischoff.

Another fellow senior and close friend, Dylan Eskow, said he’s concerned someone might have harmed Wortman.

"Totally, all of us are worried about it. He wouldn't just run away," he says.

Eskow said he considers Wortman to be "a super nice kid. He always puts others above him, no matter what. Whether it’s family, friends or strangers in general.”

Wortman is described as 5 feet,10 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds. He has a nose piercing and several earrings in both ears. Authorities say he was wearing a black T-shirt, a burgundy hoodie and blue jeans.

Relatives have posted a GoFundMe page in an effort to raise money for a private investigator to keep the search alive.
