Summary:
Mortimer Wortman met up with Adam Zalouk in the parking lot of the Regional Day School in Jackson, NJ on November 21, 2025. This is the last time he was seen.
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance:
In July 2025, Mortimer reported to the Point Pleasant Beach Police Department that Adam Zalouk had threatened him with a knife and carved a slur into his car. This turned into charges being brought against Adam, and a temporary no contact order was issued. Mortimer and Adam met up in the parking lot of the Regional Day School on 11/21/25. According to Adam, he and Mortimer got into a verbal disagreement and Mortimer walked off into the woods. Adam reported to the Jackson police via a 911 call that Mortimer was missing 16 hours later. He has not been seen since and his car was found still parked in the school parking lot.
Additional Details:
Since Mortimer is missing and was not available to testify, Adam Zalouk was offered a plea deal. In April 2026, Adam pleaded guilty to third degree terroristic threats and was able to avoid jail time. He was ordered to pay $2,783 to Mortimer's mother for the damage to his car.
