The Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office has added yet another area man to the list of alleged fugitives deemed “high priority” by the county court’s family division.

Sheriff William Mullen is asking for the public’s assistance in finding 44-year-old Gordon Soffa.

According to the sheriff’s office, Soffa is believed to be living in McKeesport. He is described as a 6-foot, 4-inch white male weighing around 185 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.

Soffa is one of 49 people on the list. There are also three other men on the list who are suspected of living in the Mon Valley. The sheriff’s list does not provide specific details about each fugitive’s alleged crimes. It explains that they have been deemed “high priority” by the Allegheny County Family Division after either fleeing from alternative housing, not showing up for a hearing or not paying child support.
