His cousin said on Facebook that Marr wasn't wearing a coat when he stepped outside Saturday morning.

His cousin, Amanda Marr, posted about him being missing on Facebook. I can't seem to grab the text on my iPad.

It has been historically cold and he went out for a cigarette without a coat on... Hopefully he just ended up somewhere and is ok.

From the facebook page above:

Amanda Marr with Zach Marr.

My cousin, Zach Marr, went missing last night around 1:50 a.m. He was last seen near Bell in Hand Tavern at the intersection of Hanover & Congress Street. He is 22 years old, about 5'9", and has blue eyes. He was wearing a long sleeve black button up with white vertical stripes and a charcoal grey pullover sweater. He had jeans on, but no coat. If anyone has any information please contact Boston Police at 1-(617) 343-4240. Thank you.

Sorry, I just read he went out to make a phone call not to have a cigarette.

The Marr family's nightmare started as a celebration. Matt Marr dropped his son off at the Littleton train station Friday.

"It's not often he's able to go into the city and have fun with his cousins," Matt Marr said. "They were celebrating his birthday. His birthday was on the 11th."

Not too long before closing time, Zachary Marr stepped outside the Bell in Hand bar in Boston to make a phone call. He sent a Snapchat photo to his cousins that he couldn't get back inside.

As the bar emptied out, Zachary Marr was nowhere to be found. His cousins kept calling.

"Then he tried it again and this is within a 4 or 5 minute span, it went right into voicemail," Matt Marr said.

Interesting couple of comments under this post. I was concerned about the same thing.. I feel like this keeps happening in the city. But then again is it that it happens more because there are more people/bars/waterside or is something going on.

Tavern says video shows missing Harvard man heading toward Surface Artery
Family hand out fliers throughout Boston
UPDATED 5:59 PM EST Feb 15, 2016

 ::snipping3::
“None of us know Boston really,” said Jeremy Wuth, a cousin of Marr. “We’re all out from Leominster. We’re not here all the time. Anything could’ve happened.”

The bar released a statement Monday saying surveillance video showed Marr leaving the establishment at 1:20 a.m. “The video clearly shows that Zachary did not try to re-enter the Bell in Hand,” read the statement. “Other video has shown he was last seen in front of the garage heading towards Surface Artery.”

Bell in Hand Tavern said the video shows other customers leaving and re-entering after 1:20 a.m. and said Marr would not have been denied access.

 ::snipping3::

Marr’s family said he has had his struggles, but he’s been working full-time, recently got promoted, and is also in school.

New Images Released as Search for Missing 22-Year-Old Man Continues
Published at 12:03 PM EST on Feb 15, 2016
 ::snipping3::
Amanda says they were hanging out at the Bell in Hand and just before 1:30 a.m. Marr stepped outside to smoke a cigarette, not grabbing his coat because it was in the coat check.

"He sent me a Snapchat saying they're not letting me back in let's leave," said Amanda, "I texted him and said where are you, and he said out front and that was at 1:41 a.m."

But when Amanda and her cousins grabbed their coats and got outside about ten minutes later they couldn't find him.

Man from central Mass. town goes missing in Boston
FEBRUARY 15, 2016

 ::snipping3::
The beginning of the year already was difficult for the family. Zachary Marr’s paternal grandmother died in January from breast cancer, the family said. Marr helped care for her, and she lived near the family home.

“He was very, very close with our grandma,” Amanda Marr said. “They had a special relationship.”

The family had planned to clean out his grandmother’s apartment on the Saturday that Zachary went missing,Amanda Marr said. Later that evening Zachary’s birthday celebration would resume with cake at his father’s home.
 ::snipping3::

She said they had a drink before leaving to go to the Bell in Hand about 10 p.m. She said Zachary Marr stepped out to smoke a cigarette several times.

At 1:30 a.m. Saturday, Zachary sent Marr a text that he was going out for a smoke, she said. About five minutes later, she said, he sent her a Snapchat saying that bar staff was not letting him back in.

During a brief text exchange Zachary told her he was “Out front.” At 1:50 a.m. Amanda Marr and the rest of the group made their way outside, but Zachary Marr was nowhere to be found, she said.

“I was trying to stay calm,” she said. “Maybe he went for a walk.”

Another cousin searched around the corner and found no sign of him.

Amanda said she figured Zachary might have spotted a friend or met a woman, but she thought she’d hear from him later that day.

Sorry for so many posts.. Just feel a connection because I am from the area and can picture this happening to anyone.. luckily with my friends, we/they mostly went outside in pairs. (I can't say every time, since I am not a smoker.. but from what I can remember.)

Missing in Boston...not good.

Officials search Boston Harbor and Charles River for missing 22-year-old
2:08 pm Zachary Marr was last seen Saturday morning at the Bell in Hand tavern near Faneuil Hall.
 
Investigators are searching the waters of the Charles River and Boston Harbor in connection with missing 22-year-old Harvard, Massachusetts, man Zachary Marr.

Authorities have focused their attention on the waters around Boston’s North Station on the Charles River as the Boston police’s dive team searched near the Zakim Bridge, NECN reported.

Police told NECN that they received information that led them to undertake a search in this area.

“There’s no information to indicate foul play played a role,” Boston police spokesman Officer James Kenneally said in a related Boston Globe article. “We continue to seek the public’s help in an effort to locate Zach.”

Video appears to show missing man enter water

The recently discovered footage prompted a renewed search for Marr’s body Tuesday, as Boston and State Police dive teams scoured the water near the Charles River Dam. Marr, who was visiting Boston from the town of Harvard, was last seen outside the Bell in Hand Tavern near Faneuil Hall around 1:50 a.m. on Feb. 13.




“The video shows a male heading toward the water and disappearing,” said Boston Police Commissioner William Evans. “We believe that is him. It’s a sad case.”

Matthew Marr, Zachary’s father, said police recently contacted the family about the grim footage, which shows Marr on a walkway, and then walking on train tracks before he disappears into the water.

“Nothing is final, until it’s final,” Marr said. “The percentages have been getting thinner. And it’s thin now. But there’s always that 1 percent that you hold on to.”

Marr said he suspected that Zachary might have tried to swim in the river, or fell through the walkway.




“I just want him home. I just want to get closure,” Marr said. “I know that he probably won’t get home . . . but our floodlights will stay on anyway.”

Since 2009, at least nine bodies, mostly of young men, have been found in the water in the Boston area. They generally involved drugs or alcohol, while some were accidental drownings or suicides, law enforcement officials said.
 ::snipping3:: ::snipping3::

“Many of these cases are clearly accidental, others are clearly suicides, and in some the evidence doesn’t point conclusively in one direction or another, but there are no signs of trauma or other indications of foul play,” said Jake Wark, spokesman for the Suffolk District Attorney’s Office.

“A relatively minuscule number, over the years, have been homicides,” said State Police spokesman David Procopio. “If there is any evidence to suggest a crime has been committed, we act accordingly. But that is usually not the case.”

In a recent five-year period, more than a dozen people who had fallen or jumped into water near the Tobin Bridge were saved thanks to passersby who witnessed the incidents and alerted authorities, Wark said.

Thanks Nut!

It's helpful to know that they have cameras around the area.

And that they hadn't found foul play on most of the cases of missing/found people in the water.

A body found in the Charles River Tuesday is that of missing Harvard man Zachary Marr, state police said.

State police said a marine unit went to the river behind Leverett Circle by the Museum of Science for a report of body observed by two passerby on a walkway around 5:45 p.m.

The area is where state police have been searching for Marr since February.
