Pray for the Szostak Family
Body in river believed to be missing Latham man
How the body was found was not immediately known.
The discovery occurred just days after a special drone plane was brought in to help search for Szostak and Jaliek Rainwalker, a 12-year-old who has been missing for months from Washington County.
The circumstances surrounding Szostak’s disappearance have been a mystery: His cellphone was found at the scene of an attempted vehicle theft at the Port of Albany, 2 miles from where he was last seen. The car was found abandoned, with no trace of its driver.
A surveillance camera at North Pearl and State streets showed that Szostak was alone around 12:15 a.m. the day he disappeared. His parents believe Szostak, who had about $500 with him, was possibly mugged and somehow harmed.
