Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Baron was last seen in Old Forge, Pennsylvania at 10:00 p.m. on January 25, 2017. After leaving his pizza restaurant, Ghigiarelli's, he dropped off his son at his apartment in town. His son worked with him, and both daughters lived away from home.
Baron didn't return home that night, and his wife assumed he'd spent the night at the apartment above Ghigiarelli's. He often stayed there overnight so he could accept delivery of pizza dough, which arrived at 7:00 a.m. each day. He was supposed to pick up his son the next morning, but never arrived at his son's apartment, and didn't respond to calls and texts. When his son went to the restaurant, he found the pizza dough delivery sitting outside untouched, which is uncharacteristic of Baron's behavior.
Investigators later found evidence of a violent struggle inside the restaurant, including bloodstains, along with indications that someone had tried to clean up with household cleaners. Baron's car, which had excessive mud on the tires and bloodstains on the interior, turned up a few days later on Howard Street, less than a mile away. The blood was determined to be Baron's and the amount was said to be "significant"; a tooth in the restaurant's utility sink was also Baron's.
Baron's daughters saw surveillance footAge at the time of disappearance: from a camera down the street from the restaurant showing two men whom they think was involved in their father's disappearance. One man was wearing a light-colored t-shirt and shorts. The second man was wearing "bulky" clothing and wheeling a suitcase down the street on the night Baron disappeared. Baron's daughters stated the suitcase belonged to them and was in the apartment upstairs from the restaurant that night, but it vanished and was never seen again.
Although the restaurant was a cash business, his family doesn't think he could have been carrying more than a few hundred dollars on the night of his disappearance. His loved ones believe he was killed at Ghigiarelli's in a botched robbery and that several people were involved, but the police haven't named any suspects in his disappearance.
He's considered missing under suspicious circumstances and his case remains unsolved. Ghigiarelli's has never been reopened.

September 2021 updates and sources

A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
