The Missing
Dillon T. Blue
Gloucester County, New Jersey
💙 Still Searching for Dillon Blue 💙
More than a decade after his disappearance, the family of Dillon Blue continues to search for answers, and for the chance to bring him home.
Dillon was 29 years old when he was reported missing by his mother to police in Pitman, located in Gloucester County, New Jersey, on June 30, 2015. She told authorities she had last seen him in person on June 19. Although he had frequently moved around and was only briefly staying with her, Dillon had always remained in close contact with his family. In fact, he called his father to wish him a Happy Father’s Day shortly before he vanished, the last time they would hear his voice.
Dillon was last seen at a friend’s house in Paulsboro, NJ. The friend told police Dillon arrived asking for money and then walked away from the home. He has not been seen since.
Dillon is described as a white male, 5’9” tall and weighing approximately 160 pounds, with blue eyes and black or dark brown hair. At the time he disappeared, he had a beard and mustache. He had distinctive sleeve tattoos on both arms, including a heart tattoo with the word “Mom” on his right arm, and wore gauge hoops in both ears.
He was known to spend time in Camden, Lindenwold, Paulsboro, and Gloucester Township. Police say Dillon had recently relocated to New Jersey, having grown up in Augusta, Georgia, and his family believes he may have been hoping for a fresh start.
His stepmother, Sheryl, said Dillon was trying to build a new life. Though he had a rough and tough exterior, she describes him as incredibly kind and loving, especially with his daughter.
Dillon left behind his parents, a brother, a sister, and a young daughter who is now in her teens. His father passed away two years ago without ever getting answers. His sister, now 20, remains heartbroken.
Dillon’s disappearance remains the Pitman Police Department’s only long-term missing persons case. Investigators have conducted extensive reviews, re-examined DNA against state and federal databases, checked phone records, coordinated with other jurisdictions, and stayed in close contact with family members.
“We really care about this case,” the chief said. “We would like to find Mr. Blue and reunite him with his family more than anything.”
Dillon’s family has never stopped looking. 💙
