Help sought with missing person

By Mon Valley Independent

A man from the Pittsburgh area is missing and his family and police are asking for assistance from the public. 

Luke Paglia, 50, was last seen at about 2 p.m. June 28 in the Highland Park neighborhood of Pittsburgh wearing a maroon/burgundy-colored T-shirt, dark gray athletic shorts and possibly black Adidas sandals or gray tennis shoes, according to a Facebook post from his brother, Chris.

He is described as being 5-feet-10-inches tall and weighing 200 pounds.

Anyone with information about Paglia’s whereabouts is asked to call Pittsburgh police at 412-323-7141, his family at 724-396-6243 or their local police department.

Chris Paglia said he was planning to search in the area of Highland Park behind the Pittsburgh Zoo and he would be hanging signs and posters.

The family asks anyone who lives and works in Highland Park, East Liberty, Squirrel Hill and the general East Hills area to keep their eyes out for Luke and report it if they see him.
