New Castle, PA – Authorities are renewing efforts to solve the disappearance of Mark Murincsak, who was last seen in New Castle, Pennsylvania, on September 30, 2006. The Pennsylvania State Police Troop D – New Castle Station has announced a $5,000 reward for information that could help close the 18-year-old missing person case.
According to a recent post by PSP Tips, Murincsak, then 44, had returned home after a late shift at Walmart around 11:15 p.m. and asked his sister to wake him the next morning at 8 a.m. However, at approximately 6 a.m. Sunday, state police informed the family that Murincsak’s truck was found abandoned on the Shenango River Bridge along the Route 422 Bypass in Taylor Township. The vehicle’s keys were still inside.
Following the discovery, Murincsak’s sister checked his room and realized he was not home. Authorities searched the area surrounding the bridge but reportedly found no trace of him. At the time of his disappearance, Murincsak was living with his sister after moving from Slippery Rock in the wake of their father’s death five months earlier.
Police say Murincsak has not been seen since that night. He was described as being closely connected to his family, with no prior indication he planned to leave. Investigators continue to treat the case as a priority and encourage the public to come forward with any information, regardless of how small it may seem.
Anyone with knowledge of Murincsak’s whereabouts is urged to contact PSP New Castle at 724-598-2211, PSP Tips toll-free at 1-800-472-8477, or submit tips online via p3tips.com. Tipsters could be eligible for a cash reward if their information leads to solving the case.
