In the community of Vauxhall, New Jersey, a sense of concern lingers following the disappearance of 60-year-old Rousier Romain on April 21, 2024. A resident of Orange, Romain was reported missing by a concerned family member after he failed to return home from his job at a Whole Foods in Vauxhall. The circumstances of his disappearance have been troubling for both his loved ones and the authorities involved in the search. Investigations revealed that Romain abruptly left his workplace on that Sunday afternoon. He was last seen on foot in the parking lot of the Whole Foods. Adding to the mystery, his vehicle was found left behind in the parking lot, and his cell phone was turned off.

The search for Rousier Romain was initiated promptly, with the Township of Union Police Department taking the lead in the investigation. They were assisted by the Union County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit, who conducted a thorough search of the area surrounding the Whole Foods. A drone was also used to get an aerial view of the location where he was last seen. In an effort to broaden the search, New Jersey State Police, local transit authorities, and area hospitals were all notified and asked to be on the lookout. At the time of his disappearance, Romain was described as a Black male, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing approximately 190 pounds. He is bald and has black eyes. He was last seen wearing a gray shirt, blue jeans, and possibly a black Whole Foods baseball cap.

The family’s concern is heightened by the fact that Romain has several medical conditions that require medication. The abruptness of his departure from work, leaving behind his car and with his phone turned off, has created a distressing situation for his family who anxiously awaits any news of his whereabouts. The investigation into his disappearance is ongoing, and authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward. This case represents the ongoing efforts of law enforcement and the deep concern of a community hoping for the safe return of one of their own. The Township of Union Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding Rousier Romain's disappearance.
