This is a mutual friend of mine. He hasn't used his phone and this is extremely out of character for him :/

 

[swanniee11]

Did he have a car? What bar did he go to for happy hour?

 

[bellesnwhistles]

I wish I knew but unfortunately I don't know much more than what's already been released. I'm not sure why they aren't saying where he was :/. All I know is he was out for drinks downtown(market square), trying to figure out which bar. Koty is living in Pittsburg because he attends university there but most of his family does not live in PA, but they traveled to Pittsburg so hopefully there will be more info soon.

 

[bellesnwhistles]

What worries me is that if he tried to walk home I believe he would have had to cross the river.

 

[coeurfragile]

I hope Dakota is found soon.

I'm a local, and anytime someone goes missing downtown it worries me. Especially if he had been drinking. It's not hard to end up in one of the rivers.

Hope the police release additional details soon.

There are cameras all over there - they must know at least which direction he went? It would help if we knew the bar or at least near - was it Liberty or 5th? I hope this doesn't end up as drawn out as Zach Marr.

Family is trying to track Koty's last steps. They think he was last seen on liberty ave

James was last seen around 11:30 Wednesday night in the area near Market Square. The family says police told them his cell phone pinged in the area near Grant Street around that time as well.

James is believed to have finished work at Station Square before making his way to meet a friend downtown. It is unclear when exactly James got lost.

SBM: I admit, I don't always click on ALL of the great links you share, Richrd, and I am not a facebook person, but I decided to see if the reason you listed the veterans link here is because Dakota is, and (I don't think he is, is he?) but just wow, what a sad space... I mean, it is amazing and wonderful that there can be a place to post what is shared there, but wow, just so very very sad...

Regarding AzPistonsGirl's Inquiry:

Veteran's Link:
https://www.facebook.com/MISSINGWARRIORALERT/

That's part of my "Check Back Package".
Since Koda didn't mention Veteran on his LinkedIn,
I figure that he isn't one.
I'll change the future wording to "A Veteran?"

Thanks For Your Ideas.

 

[bellesnwhistles]

As far as I know he is not a veteran.. he attended WVU and is now a grad student at Duquesne

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

the link is still valid to have there though - I certainly appreciated seeing it, and you never know when one little thing can lead to another. Keep up the awesome work you do, Richrd,

Agreed! Any and all resources are welcome and appreciated. Kotys family was on the news tonight, I'll see if I can find a link

Getting some more info

According to family members, Dakota was last seen Wednesday night with a female friend at 941 Saloon on Liberty Avenue in downtown Pittsburgh. Family said Dakota had a few too many drinks and was asked to leave the bar. They said they know he walked outside, but are uncertain as to what happened after he walked out of the bar. Monday, they were putting signs up all over the city, hoping that people will see Dakota, recognize him and call police.
