- Details of Disappearance:
- On February 8, 2008, in Upper Township, New Jersey, David Jargowsky’s house burned down. He called his mom at 2:30 AM to say his house was on fire but was afraid to call the police because he worried they’d think he started it. His house was about to be taken away due to debt.
His mom called 911, but the house was completely destroyed by the time firefighters arrived. A neighbor saw Jargowsky walking away from his burning house with another man at 2:30 AM. That’s the last time anyone saw him.
Police searched the remains of the house but found no sign of his body. They don’t know what caused the fire, but they suspect foul play.
Jargowsky was a local man, self-employed, with a son and going through a divorce. Just before the fire, he’d signed papers to sell his house, preventing the auction. Since he disappeared, he hasn’t used his bank card or phone.
While he wasn’t known to disappear, police and his family think he might have left on his own, but the circumstances are a mystery.
