In the autumn of 2010, a 37-year-old man named Steven Lee Kozak Jr. vanished from Newcastle, Oklahoma, leaving behind a deepening mystery for his family and investigators. On October 13th, Steven, also known as Stevie to his loved ones, was last seen in the McClain County town. At the time of his disappearance, he was in the company of a woman. This female companion was also reported missing, but she was later found alive.
However, there was no sign of Steven, and his family has not heard from him since that day. His case was officially created on April 1, 2013, and he is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System.
Steven is a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, standing between 5'5' and 5'7' tall, and weighing between 140 and 150 pounds. He has a couple of distinctive physical features, including scars on his back and neck from a previous gunshot wound. It's also noted that he had a dislike for tattoos and had none himself. The investigation into his disappearance is being handled by both the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office and the Oklahoma City Police Department. Over the years, law enforcement has continued to seek information that could lead to a breakthrough in the case.
The years since Steven's disappearance have been filled with uncertainty and unanswered questions for his family. The fact that his female companion was located has only added to the complexity and frustration of the situation. One report indicates he was last seen at the Newcastle Casino, while the woman he was with, Tiffany Lea Gray, was last seen at a Walmart in a different location. It is known that the two were acquainted, but the exact nature of their relationship and the connection between their separate last-seen locations remains unclear. Tiffany was eventually found safe, but Steven's whereabouts are still unknown. This has left his loved ones in a painful state of limbo, holding out hope for answers while facing the grim possibility that they may never know what happened to him. The case is a stark reminder of the lasting pain and ambiguity that surrounds cold cases, as a family waits for any piece of information that might bring them closure.Last Seen: Oct 13, 2010
