NEWARK, N.J.
— Police are asking for the public’s help locating 53-year-old Robin J. Bacote, who was reported missing in early April and was last seen in Newark more than two months ago.
Newark Department of Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda, Sr. said Bacote was last seen around 12 p.m. on March 28 in the area of Baldwin Avenue near Clinton Avenue. She was reportedly riding an electric scooter and carrying a mini-speaker at the time of her disappearance.
