Summary

  • All three New Jersey teens missing since Friday were located in Stamford, Connecticut, with the final two found just after 8 p.m. Saturday, Montville Township police said.
  • MTA officers had spotted the trio at a Stamford train station earlier Saturday and took 17-year-old William Connolly into protective custody, but the two 14-year-olds ran before police later found them.
  • Police said Brayden Morrissey, 14, Dominic Diliberto, 14, and Connolly, 17, had left Montville Township on their own accord after departing an undisclosed location Thursday night.
  • The case shifted from a local ground search using K-9s and drones to a missing-person investigation after authorities determined the boys had traveled from the area, last seen Friday at Denville Train Station in New Jersey.
