And Then They Were Gone

On March 21, 2023, 41-year-old attorney Steve Cozzi was seen on CCTV entering his office at The Blanchard Law Firm. He was never seen leaving. When he missed a hearing and co-workers couldn’t locate him, they called 911. When police arrived, they found evidence of a violent scene in the men’s bathroom. Suspicion quickly fell on an unlikely suspect: Dr. Tomasz Kosowski, a successful plastic surgeon who was embroiled in a tense lawsuit with one of Steve’s clients. Though Steve Cozzi’s body was never located, investigators found enough evidence to arrest Kosowski for Steve’s murder just days later. After firing a half dozen attorneys, Kozowski ultimately decided to represent himself in his Capital Murder case. He also opted to try the case without a jury. This is part two of the trial of Tomasz Kosowski.Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blogOur Sponsors:* Check out Aramore and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://aramoreskincare.com* Check out BreezeMeds and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.breezemeds.com* Check out Cure Hydration and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.curehydration.com* Check out Quince and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code ATTWG20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.com* Check out Vinted: https://www.vinted.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/and-then-they-were-gone3159/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This episode was originally released on March 17, 2023. New intro was recorded on September 24, 2026.“This is a tragedy, but it’s not a crime.” This quote is from Captain Jeff Ferry, the lead investigator searching for missing Texas college student, Jason Landry. Jason, a student at Texas State University, left his apartment late in the evening on December 13, 2020, to return home to Missouri City, Texas for a quick visit. But Jason never made it home.Shortly after midnight, his car was found crashed and abandoned on a desolate road near Luling, a small town only about 30 minutes away from where he started. While Jason was nowhere to be found, he left several disturbing items behind. After two years with no sign of Jason, the Landry family is questioning the investigation and wondering more and more if this tragic ‘accident’ was actually foul play.If you have any information regarding Jason Landry’s disappearance, please contact the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office at (512) 398-6777 or the anonymous tip line at (726) 777-1359.

In the early morning hours of December 10, 1999, an 18-year-old UCLA freshman finished playing a computer game in his dorm room, stepped into the hallway to high-five the friend he'd been playing against, and walked back toward his own room. When his roommate woke up the next morning, Michael Negrete was gone.Bloodhounds traced his scent to a bus stop a few blocks away, but then the trail just stopped. Michael hadn’t been in trouble; he hadn’t been depressed; he hadn’t been running with a bad crowd. There were absolutely no red flags in his life, and nothing that would lead anyone to believe he wouldn’t finish his first semester of college and go home with everyone else. In over 26 years there's been no body, no arrest, no confirmed sighting, and not a single dollar taken out of his bank account. Police have never named a suspect, and they have never found Michael.If you have any information about the disappearance of Michael Negrete, please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500, and reference case number 0199003533. You can also contact the UCLA Police Department at (310) 825-1491.Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blogOur Sponsors:* Check out Aramore and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://aramoreskincare.com* Check out BreezeMeds and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.breezemeds.com* Check out Cure Hydration and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.curehydration.com* Check out Quince and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code ATTWG20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.com* Check out Vinted: https://www.vinted.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/and-then-they-were-gone3159/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
