Has anyone looked into local witnesses who might have seen the fight between John Hura and Michael DiCola? Given the location under the Mahoning Avenue Bridge, it's possible there were others around who might've seen what happened that night. Homeless communities often have a network, and people might talk amongst themselves, even if they don’t immediately come forward to the police. Maybe outreach groups or shelters in the area could provide some leads. It's been so long, but I think looking at any potential eyewitnesses could help shed light on what happened to John. Just a thought—wondering if anyone else has considered this angle.
Did anyone else come across the information about John Hura Jr.'s belongings that were reportedly found near the Mahoning Avenue Bridge? I read somewhere that some of his personal items were discovered shortly after he was last seen, but it wasn't clear what those items were or if they provided any leads. I'm curious if this could point to him leaving voluntarily after the altercation, or if it just adds another layer of mystery to his disappearance. It's frustrating that there haven't been more answers in the case, especially with Michael DiCola's body found but no trace of John. Thoughts?
Hey everyone, I've been following John Hura Jr.'s case for a while, and something that keeps bothering me is how little attention his situation gets just because he was homeless. It's frustrating to see how marginalized individuals like John can fall through the cracks. We know he used to live beneath the Mahoning Avenue Bridge, and both he and Michael DiCola possibly fell into the river during their altercation. But after July 2020, there seems to be this void of information regarding what's being done to find answers for John. I feel like more focus and resources should be dedicated to understanding what really happened to him after that fight. It's scary to think someone could just vanish without a trace. Anyone else feel this way or have ideas on pushing the case forward? Maybe contact local news stations to bring more awareness? It's important we keep the pressure on. Thoughts?
