OK, here's the info I have gathered on Josh Szostak. He somehow gets lost from his friends at the Bayou cafe. He is seen on surviellence cameras on N.Pearl Street at 12:15. (Last text message on his phone is 12:17,but press didn't say what it said). According to tracking dogs,his scent was followed to Lincoln park,approximently 3/4's of a mile away from where he was last seen. It was in the direction of where he left his car and where hewas going to be sleeping that night. The dogs lose the scent there.
LE finds his cell phone 1 1/2 miles away in the opposite direction of his car,in the Port of Albany. It is near a stolen Dept of Environmental Conservation car. That car was stolen earlier(I have no idea how they know that). the garage that the car is stolen from, is no more than 1/2 mile from where it was parked.
LE would have you believe(although they have officially recanted ),that Josh,walked all that way,then turned around and walked in the complete opposite direction to steal a car,drive it along the river,park the car and then walk down to the river and fall in. All this while drunk and cold.(he only had a Tee shirt and sweatshirt on)
They really have no idea where he entered the river,but because his cell phone was found at the Port,they assume it was there. his body was found about 30 miles down river,after the ice melted.
It doesn't add up to me. And robbery wasn't a motive as he had his wallet on him with cash and credit cards. So why would someone just take someone and drop them in the river?
