{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Volunteers and friends of missing Goldman Sachs senior analyst John Castic plan to scour the blocks surrounding the music venue where he was last seen, as his family says they are hoping for a "good outcome."
Castic, 27, vanished Saturday about 2:30 a.m. after leaving a concert at the Brooklyn Mirage in a remote section of East Williamsburg.
A volunteer search team is meeting at 2 p.m. Tuesday to comb the New York City neighborhood for clues.

"We're hoping for a good outcome," Jeffrey Castic, of Chicago, told Fox News Digital. "That we get him back and he gets home. At least back to doing what he’s supposed to be doing in New York."

A candlelight vigil is also scheduled for Wednesday at 7 p.m. in front of the Brooklyn Mirage at 140 Stewart Ave.

The young man's panicked father said his son, who started a job at Goldman Sachs about one year ago, has not shown up to work for two days or to his apartment on the Lower East Side.

Castic is the second person in two months to disappear after visiting the Brooklyn Mirage.
Another 27-year-old man, Karl Clemente, tried to attend a concert with friends at that music venue on June 11 but was turned away for allegedly drinking, said his father, Alex Clemente.

"I saw the news and said, wow, another person," the father told Fox News Digital of Castic.

Police said that the investigation into Clemente's death remains ongoing. Video surveillance of the Queens man after he left the venue shows him running down Metropolitan Avenue.

Clemente worked as a psychologist with suicidal and mentally ill children, his father said.
