Did Jack Culolias Harm Himself?

Nineteen-year-old Jack Culolias, a student of Arizona State University, vanished sometime after 11:00 p.m., Friday, November 30th. He was last seen at the Cadillac Ranch Restaurant in Tempe, where he reportedly left his wallet and mobile phone. It's been a week and there are no answers in this young man's case, while his loved ones are worried about his well-being.

The latest developments in this case don't look positive; not that there are enough details on which to speculate in the first place. Law enforcement officials are involved in the search along with loved ones of the missing ASU student. In a disturbing update, it seems that bodies of water are being searched in this story. Does that mean he is believed to have met foul play?

An area east of Tempe, in the Salt River, is being searched by officials with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office for the young man. His stepmother says that he has been struggling with the loss of his grandfather as well as his fatherÂ—just a month apart, and both died of lung cancer. However, she says that he wouldn't have harmed himself or become depressed. Hopefully she is right, but the details provided serve as variables while trying to figure out what may have happened to a missing person.

Hopefully there are some positive answers in this case, and soon. Meanwhile, Jack Culolias remains missing, so it's important to share the flier to keep awareness spread about his story. Maybe someone out there knows what happened to him.

First of all, Grace Culolias is Jack's mother, not stepmother. My daughter is a friend of Jack's from high school. The family has been struggling with the death of his father, but Jack is a happy well adjusted kid that would not harm himself. He was home for Thanksgiving and was his normal happy self. It's is irresponsible to imply that Jack is missing because he was depressed over the deaths in his family.

Hi, Gina. The quote I provided in the article wasn't made by Grace, but by Renae, his stepmother, according to AZ Central. She is the one that implied it when she brought it up in the article linked in my above post. As I stated in the post, she also said he wouldn't have harmed himself. Though why did it come up in the first place?

I am very sorry your loved one is missing, and will be sure to cover the updates as accurately as possible. Thank you for taking the time to comment. If you see any errors that need to be corrected, please let me know and I will do my best to take care of it.
