A Goldman Sachs senior analyst vanished after leaving a New York City concert early Saturday morning weeks after another man who disappeared from the same venue turned up dead, according to police and his friends.
John Castic, 27, was last seen about 2:30 a.m. outside the Brooklyn Mirage in Williamsburg after an electronic music show, according to police.
A missing person flyer says he was wearing a navy and white button-down floral shirt.
“One of my best friends, John Castic, went missing after the Zeds Dead show Friday night in NY,” his friend, Sara Kostecka, wrote Monday on Facebook. “Any information would be greatly appreciated, as well as sharing this to anyone in NYC that might have seen him.”

A representative for Goldman Sachs didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
Another 27-year-old man tried to attend a concert at the Brooklyn Mirage June 11 but was turned away because he allegedly appeared to have consumed alcohol, reported EDM Identity.
The online publication, which covers the electronic dance music industry, reported that Karl Clemente was found dead in a creek near the venue a week later.

Kostecka told Fox News Digital she has known Castic for seven years, and he has never been unreachable. She is fearing the worst.
“I know there’s been a series of young adult males, mid 20s, going missing and ending up in bodies of water in Chicago recently,” Kostecka said, referencing the Smiley Face Killer theory. “I’m praying this isn’t related, but I fear it is.”
