The
family of Mark Gasso, a 63-year-old Southbury man, says he has not been seen or
heard from in almost two weeks. Now, his home is considered a crime scene.
The
family sent some of Gasso’s workers to his home on Berkshire Road after they unsuccessfully
tried to reach him. Inside the house, they found his phone and wallet, along
with the shower running and the television on.
Southbury
police and state police began searching the wooded property for days but found
nothing. They also searched Lake Zoar near Gasso's house.
The
family put up posters describing Gasso, a bald, white male with hazel eyes
standing 5 feet, 11 inches and weighing 185
pounds. His family says he walks with a slight limp. They also say he had been
depressed.
Police
had done a welfare check on him a day or so before he went missing but said he
was OK.
"I
just keep praying to God…saying ‘God please find him, let them find him, dead
or alive, so we have a closure,'" said one family member.
Police have not indicated any leads in the case. They are
asking anyone with knowledge of Gasso’s whereabout to call them at
203-264-5912.
