Police Continue Seeking Man Missing Since March 21

By Andrew Gorosko

Police said Thursday morning they are continuing to seek the whereabouts of William Fitzgibbons, 56, of 11 Fox Run Lane South, who was reported as missing from his home ten days earlier, on March 21.

Police ask that anyone who has any information, even seemingly minor information, about Mr Fitzgibbons’ whereabouts to contact them. Police said they also are interested in learning the whereabouts of the vehicle that Mr Fitzgibbons had been driving before he was reported missing. He was last seen driving a white 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV bearing Connecticut marker plate 709-EFK.

Also, police ask that anyone who has information about Mr Fitzgibbons’ activities during the past few months to contact them.

Callers should contact the police detective division at 3 Main Street, telephone 203-426-5841.

Police have declined to answer many questions asked about Mr Fitzgibbons’ disappearance.

The last time Mr Fitzgibbons had contact with his wife, Jayne, was at about 5 pm on March 21, when he called her from a service telephone at the Big Y supermarket at 6 Queen Street. Mr Fitzgibbons told his wife that he was having vehicle problems and that he would be home late.

Mr Fitzgibbons, who is self-employed as a financial trader, works at home, according to police.

Considering that Mr Fitzgibbons is an adult male who was driving a vehicle, police have said they no reason to conduct a ground search in seeking him, unless the vehicle is located without him in it.

Police have contacted other law enforcement agencies to have their personnel be on the lookout for Mr Fitzgibbons and the SUV.

Mr Fitzgibbons is white, about 6’1” tall, and weighs about 185 pounds. He is bald with blue eyes and wears eyeglasses. He was last seen wearing jeans with a mock turtleneck shirt and a green sweater vest.

About 9:30 pm on March 21, Jayne Fitzgibbons reported to Newtown police that her husband had not come home that day and was missing. Ms Fitzgibbons had last seen her husband at home at about 1:30 pm that day.

Attempts to reach Ms Fitzgibbons on Thursday morning were unsuccessful.

Friends of Ms Fitzgibbons have been handing out and posting leaflets bearing a photo and description of Mr Fitzgibbons and listing him as a “missing person.” A copy of that leaflet was spotted posted at a municipal parking garage in downtown Danbury.
