Thousands raised to aid search for missing talent agent
Posted on August 23, 2017 at 12:25 PM

ORADELL -- More than a week after a talent agent walked away from his home and disappeared, members of the casting community created an online fundraiser to raise money for the search and to establish a reward.

Mark Schlegel, 57, was last seen on Aug. 13 at 3:30 p.m. in Oradell, where he lives with his wife, Chris. He left his home without his wallet, any identification or phone.

Police have notified residents, conducted foot searches and used a bloodhound to trace his steps. Their efforts also took them into Manhattan, where Schlegel works as a talent agent at the Cornerstone Talent Agency.

Their search, aided by friends, family and work colleagues, failed to yield his whereabouts.

"We're continuing to search, but we haven't had many new leads," Oradell Police Lt. Victor Egg said on Wednesday. "We're not giving up hope."

The GoFundMe page has raised more than $29,000 in 19 hours and is a little over $4,000 beyond its goal. On the page, countless positive messages have been posted praising Schlegel and hoping he's well.

"Sending hope and prayers for Mark's safe return. And our best to those who love him," reads one message.

"All our positive energy and thoughts to the man who calls me on my birthday every year even when some family members forget. Universally admired and loved. Mark, hope you feel what we're all sending, and to Mark's family you are in our thoughts every day. Waiting for the sun to come back out and see you safely home, Mark," posted another.

A police statement said Schlegel’s body was found in a wooded area about half a mile away from his home, according to the report. A law enforcement source told the local news source that no foul play is suspected and the body appeared to have been there for some time. An autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death, and the case is currently with the Bergen County Medical Examiner.http://variety.com/2017/biz/news/mark-schl...ent-1202538676/
