Still no word from missing Tamaqua man

Family members of missing Tamaquan Jesse Farber are doing everything they can to find him.

On Friday, while the official search for the missing 29-year-old was suspended for a day in order for police, search teams and volunteers to study information and explore options, Farber's family maintained momentum out on the streets.

Rae "Sweetie" Ferryman of Tamaqua and Norma Jean Fritz of Lehighton, Farber's grandmother and mother, respectively, drove around town placing posters at heavily traveled locations. They visited the Tamaqua police station and borough hall about 1 p.m. hoping to have photocopies made in order to place the flyers on parked vehicles at Walmart and other hotspots.

The hand-drawn posters include a photo of Farber, who also goes by the name Jesse Rex, along with a physical description and details of the clothes he was wearing when he disappeared, presumably on Sharp Mountain, spanning Tamaqua and Walker Township.

At 11 a.m. Fritz posted a notice and photo of Farber on her Facebook page.
