A frantic search is underway for a missing Goldman Sachs analyst who was last seen in the early hours of Sunday leaving a Brooklyn nightclub.
John Castic, 27, from Chicago, told friends at the Brooklyn Mirage club he was getting an Uber home to his apartment in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
It remains unclear whether he ever called or took an Uber, but he never arrived home, and his friends raised the alarm on Sunday.
Castic graduated from DePaul University and begun working as a senior analyst at Goldman Sachs in August 2022.
Castic and his friends had been to see the Canadian electronic duo Zeds Dead.
His final photo, shared by a friend, shows him arriving at their front door at 9pm, before heading to the gig on the edge of Brooklyn’s neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Bushwick.
His friends say he left the venue at 2:30am.
One person on Reddit claimed that there had been crowds of unlicensed cab drivers hovering around the area, and speculated Castic could have got in one of their vehicles to try and get home.
Police initially refused to raise the alarm, they said, because he did not have any known mental health issues, but by Monday evening had assigned a detective to the case.
On Tuesday a group of his friends plan on meeting outside the club and scouring the area.
