Apparently neighbors haven't seen hide nor hair of Kean or his family. I imagine they have other properties, but I think Westfield was his primary residence.

On the day of the congressional primary, the mystery of the missing legislator remains frustratingly unsolved. But it was not for lack of trying.

Here’s how Times reporters attempted to uncover the truth.

In late April, The Times filed a request under New Jersey’s Open Public Records Act with the police department in Westfield, N.J., where Mr. Kean lives. Were there any calls to 911 or emergency services from his address? There were not.

Every political campaign files a list of donors with the Federal Election Commission. We called more than a dozen donors, including Mary Van Lieu, a former Republican mayor of Pohatcong, N.J., and Michael Fedorko, who runs public safety in Atlantic County, N.J., and donated $600 to Mr. Kean's re-election. None of them had any information about Mr. Kean’s condition.

Beginning in April, a Times reporter visited Mr. Kean’s primary residence in Westfield, N.J., several times. Some neighbors said they had not seen Mr. Kean or noticed any changes at the house. All declined to be quoted. A knock on Mr. Kean’s door went unanswered.
