“Mark is the first person to call me on my birthday, the first person to donate to my latest charitable campaign, and the first person in my dressing room on opening nights — but only because he insists on holding the door for my family," said Tony nominee Bryce Pinkham. "I know I speak for all of Mark's clients when I say that his safety and well-being are all that matter to us now. Please come home safe, Mark. We love you.”
The Oradell Police department is conducting the search along with members of Schlegel’s family. They have searched the woods and other areas surrounding his home. Anyone with information is asked to call (201) 261-0200.
Schlegel reportedly left his house at 3:30 PM on Sunday, August 13 without his keys, wallet, or phone. Schlegel is a white male described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, 165 lbs., with blue eyes and gray hair. Schlegel and his wife, Christine, had just returned from a trip to Scotland August 12 in celebration of their 33rd wedding anniversary, which was August 18. The couple has two children, ages 23 and 27.
