Nearby: Still No Clues in Bridgeville Man's Disappearance

No one has heard from Jimmy Slack since he went to a concert in Pittsburgh on Dec. 6.

Investigators still have very few clues in the case of the disappearance of a man nearly a week after .

Jimmy Slack went missing after a concert on Dec. 6 at Stage AE in Pittsburgh's North Shore neighborhood, but police and his family are still working hard to find any information about where he might be located.

“We are pretty much exhausting everything we can do as a department,” Chief Chad King said, adding that he has assigned officers to the investigation. “We’re working our tails off on this.”

King said that he is especially concerned because Slack’s cell phone has been off since the time that he went missing, and the 25-year-old has not used any of his bank cards.

“It’s just a bad situation,” King said. “It’s odd. Very odd.”

A lack of clues hasn’t stopped Slack’s family from canvassing the area and looking for clues.

Slack’s sister, Maureen Shields, said that her family searched Pittsburgh’s North Side area on Sunday and handed out fliers with information about Slack and how he disappeared. A couple people thought that they recognized Slack, but they apparently were mistaken.

“It’s been difficult,” Shields said. “It’s hard on my parents. My sister and I have been doing most of the interviews because my parents are so distraught and worried for their son. They can’t handle the overwhelming feelings and emotions. It’s a lot for them to bear.

“We’re just trying to figure out anything to bring Jimmy home.”

The Bridgeville Police Department, which is leading the investigation, might hand over the case to the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police because the disappearance is believed to have happened in the city.

Shields said that her family hopes that the Pittsburgh police will have more resources to search for her brother.

“Bridgeville has done an amazing job,” she said, “but they’ve done all they can do with the resources they have.

“Our hope is that, basically, (the Pittsburgh police) have more resources, and that’s what we need. They have a little more experience dealing with this thing.”

Slack is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs about 160 pounds and has blond hair and a light beard. He was last seen wearing a green and black hooded sweatshirt, and he had a Pittsburgh Penguins baseball cap on.

Anyone with information about where he might be located is asked to contact emergency dispatchers at 412-279-6911.

“It’s been amazing to see everyone come together to do anything they can,” Shields said. “The word is definitely out there, but we hope people are looking at the people around them and paying attention.”
