15-year-old from North Jersey missing for 3 days

MOUNTAIN LAKES — Police are asking the public to help find a 15-year-old boy who hasn't been seen in several days.

Thomas Kolding was last at his parents' home Oct. 30.

Authorities believe he took a train from Denville to Newark Board Street Station and then took another train to New York Penn Station, where his trail went cold.

Investigators say Thomas "had a strong interest in traveling to California," the Morris County Prosecutor's Office said Friday.

He is described having brown hair and eyes and is 5 feet 3 inches and 120 pounds.

He was last seen wearing a camouflage jacket, gray skull cap and a black backpack.

Anyone with information is asked to call borough police at 973-334-1413.
