James Slack

BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. -- A 25-year-old man has not been heard from since attending a concert last week on Pittsburgh’s North Shore and is still missing.
Bridgeville police said James Slack II was last seen Dec. 6 during the String Cheese Incident show at Stage AE at 9:30 p.m.
"He (Slack) had been separated from his friend who he came down here with that evening. She tried numerous times to call him throughout the night to figure out a plan to get home," sister Maureen Shields said.
Police said Slack was last heard from at 3 a.m. on Dec. 7 when he called a friend and told her, “I am still partying” and “I don’t know where I’m at." He was said to be highly intoxicated, according to police.
"(His friend) spoke to him later in the night, and he said he was still down here having a great time. That was the last time that anyone heard from him," Shields said.
Slack's family has been saturating social media websites with his picture and posting fliers all over the area trying to find him.
"We are doing everything from canvassing, talking to every single person we meet. Actually, we've had fliers handed out to people at concerts from the band," Slack's uncle, Michael Lowe, said.
Someone called police Saturday night saying they may have seen him that morning. But officers said the lead was too cold.
"When you're out and you're sitting there, look around and take inventory. Pay attention to what's going on because you could be sitting next to my brother. We need him to know that we want him home," Shields said.

Slack missed his niece's birthday Saturday -- something family members said he would never have done. Shields said they're worried, and they're desperate to find him and bring him home.
"It's really not in his character to just disappear. He would have come home," Shields said.
Slack was last seen wearing a green and black hooded sweatshirt, a tie-dyed shirt, black shorts, black tennis shoes and a Pittsburgh Penguins hat.
He is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 160 pounds and has blond hair and a light beard.

Wow, I hope he just got carried away partying and stayed with someone or something. If he was drunk, anything could have happened, from being assaulted to falling in the river. I am reminded of the guy in Europe who was found to have fallen in a river after a night of partying. A big deal was made like there were suspicious circumstances but it ended up that he basically got wasted and fell in on his way home. Sad. Hope this guy comes home safe.

String Cheese Incident concerts are known for having LOTS of drugs. It sounds like he was out partying it up for quite a while. If I had to wager a guess at his point, I'd say he wandered off and he OD'ed or fell in a lake or something like that. I'm not really sensing fowl play on this one.

I also do not suspect chickens were involved. They rarely kill humans. He most likely fell in the water and drowned.

Pittsburgh's North Shore? Is that what they are calling the North Side now? If he went missing there, he is gone for good.
Hey Pgh! Renaming a turd doesn't remove the stink.

oops...haha. Although I would never rule out chickens, those sadistic bastards. (p.s. *foul)

Missing Pa. Man’s Family Turn to Psychics for Help

The relatives of a missing 25-year-old Pennsylvania man said they aren’t entirely certain they believe in psychics — only that they’re willing to use an assortment of means to locate him.
James Slack, of Bridgeville, Pa. was last seen at a String Cheese Incident Concert in Pittsburgh, Pa., on Dec. 6.
“You just explore every option, and anything that can help out is worth it. It’s worth a shot,” Maureen Shields, Slack’s sister, told ABC News’ affiliate WTAE Friday while touring the area where her brother was last seen with the psychics.
A friend told police that Slack was inebriated when, during a 3 a.m. phone conversation on Dec. 7, he explained that he was “still partying” and “I don’t know where I’m at.”
sychic sisters Suzanne Vincent and Jean Mckenzie Vincent said the visions they’ve been having and the responses Slack’s relatives provided to their queries led them to believe that he is dead.
“I kept seeing a vision of railroad tracks,” said one of the Vincents, who, according to their Web site, have been oing psychic profiles and investigations for 25 years.
The Vincents said they had an impression that he was hurt some place and he died from the elements.
In addition to contacting the psychic sisters, Slack’s family has been posting pictures of him on social media and on fliers.

A $5,000 reward is being offered for information on Slack’s whereabouts.
