🗂 SEPTEMBER CASE FILE: Pittsburgh River Drownings🔍 Crime & Conversation – True Crime Club
Hosted by Little Green Bookstore
"Where the facts are real and the theories run wild."
Case Overview:
Two young men—Paul Kochu in 2014 and Dakota James in 2017—vanished after nights out in Pittsburgh. Both were later found in the Ohio River, their deaths ruled as accidental drownings. But the similarities between their cases, unanswered questions in the investigations, and theories about possible foul play have left the community divided and searching for answers.
What We’ll Examine:
The timelines of both disappearances and recoveries
Key evidence, including surveillance footage and autopsy findings
How investigative approaches and public perception shape these cases
Why Attend:
Attendees will receive a prepared Case File packet before the meeting, complete with timelines, evidence summaries, discussion prompts, and space for personal notes—making you part of the investigative team. Stop by and pick up your case file anytime after Tuesday, August 19th to review before the discussion. Whether you’re a seasoned true crime follower or curious about Pittsburgh’s most haunting river mysteries, you’ll leave with new details and perspectives.
