Silver Alert: Missing 75-Year-Old Jeffrey Jarmel Last Seen in Coram
Missing 75-year-old Jeffrey Jarmel walked away from an assisted living facility in Coram during a winter storm; police issued a Silver Alert and ask residents to report sightings.

Jeffrey Jarmel, 75, was reported missing after he left the All American Assisted Living facility on Middle Country Road in Coram early on Jan. 25, 2026, as a winter storm began. Suffolk County Police issued a Silver Alert and released a physical description and clothing details as part of a coordinated search that relied on public tips and local media distribution of surveillance frames.
Police described Jarmel as approximately 5'7", 172 pounds, bald with brown eyes. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a blue winter jacket with white stripes. Detectives from the Sixth Squad asked anyone with information to call 631-854-8652 or 911 immediately. Local outlets circulated video surveillance frames and urged the public to report sightings without delay.
The disappearance has immediate safety implications for Coram and surrounding neighborhoods. Cold temperatures and storm conditions elevate risk for older adults who are exposed to the elements for prolonged periods. The alert mobilized routine public-safety responses including area canvasses and a request for residents to check property exteriors, vehicles, porches and nearby businesses for signs of Jarmel or his vehicle.
This incident also underscores broader questions about assisted living protocols and community notification systems. The Silver Alert is intended to speed public awareness when older adults go missing, and the swift release of descriptive information helps neighbors and first responders coordinate searches. For residents, the case highlights the practical role local vigilance plays in public safety: sharing surveillance footage with police, checking home security cameras, and calling official numbers can make the difference in locating a vulnerable person quickly.
Suffolk County Police are leading the active investigation with assistance from patrol units and detectives who continue to follow leads. The Sixth Squad contact line remains the central channel for tips at 631-854-8652; callers should use 911 for immediate sightings. Media-distributed surveillance images remain part of the information circulated to the public to help identify Jarmel.
For readers, the immediate actions are simple and concrete: watch for the specific clothing and physical description, review home and business camera footage from Jan. 25 where possible, and report any information to the Sixth Squad or 911. As the search continues, updates from Suffolk County Police will determine next steps and community response, and residents should expect coordinated notices if new information emerges.
