MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.—A man who served a prison sentence for attacking and seriously injuring his parents more than two decades ago remained missing on Wednesday, days after he failed to return to the halfway house where he was living.

Edward Berbon, 54, was assigned to a halfway house in Camden County and had been working in Mount Laurel since March, state corrections officials said. He failed to return to the halfway house on Saturday and is now considered an escapee.
