GOLDMAN ANALYST VANISHES
2nd mystery near B’klyn venue in weeks
A Goldman Sachs senior analyst disappeared early Saturday morning after attending a concert at The Brooklyn Mirage — the same Big Apple venue another man tried to get into before he was found dead several weeks ago, authorities and lawenforcement sources said.
John Castic, 27, vanished after leaving the Williamsburg hot spot around 3 a.m. following a performance by electronic-music duo Zeds Dead, according to the NYPD and Castic’s “best friend,” Sara Kostecka.
Kostecka shared news about Castic’s disappearance on Facebook Monday, saying they were supposed to be together at her brother’s upcoming wedding.
“Any information would be greatly appreciated, as well as sharing this to anyone in NYC that might have seen him,” she said.
Eerie taxi ‘rumors’
“I’ve heard rumors from people about being asked to hop in a taxi/ cab from some creepy people near the Mirage — reminder to stay safe and check in on your friends,” she additionally wrote. “I’m supposed to walk with him in my brothers wedding next week.. we just wanna find John.”
Castic, who lives in lower Manhattan, is described as 6-foot-3 and 180 pounds, police said.
The Illinois native graduated from DePaul University and began at Goldman Sachs last August, according to his Facebook page.
He was last seen wearing a white and navy blue floral shirt with khaki pants, according to a missing person flyer.
Another friend told Fox News Digital that Castic’s phone died after he left the venue and hasn’t been turned on since.
“We’re absolutely very worried about him,” Jonah Shales reportedly said. “No one has had any contact with him.”
Castic is the second person to go missing in recent weeks after going to The Brooklyn Mirage, one of three concert spaces housed at the Avant Gardner that has a total capacity of 6,000.
The other man, Karl Clemente, 27, was turned away from the venue June 11 because “he allegedly drank alcohol” when he went with a group of friends to see a concert, electronic-music publication EDM Identity reported, citing a friend’s Facebook post.
Tragic June case
Clemente’s body was found days later a half-mile away in Newtown Creek behind a warehouse, according to sources.
His death was not considered suspicious, sources said.
In March, Gothamist reported about The Mirage’s battle with the State Liquor Authority.
SLA officials lodged numerous concerns about “rampant” drug use and noted a number of people who died that attended the events there.
Since 2017, three people who attended Avant Gardner events ended up dying of accidental drug overdoses, the report said.
