## Caption

Dakota James had a focused mind, a sharp wit and a soft spot for older generations. A graduate student at Duquesne University, he had plans to go to law school. Dakota was gay and because of that, his parents worried for his safety. After a night of barhopping with a co-worker in January 2017, he disappeared as he presumably was walking to a bridge on his way home. In March 2017, his body was found in the Ohio River. Was this a hate crime? Or could it have been an accident, as the medical examiner ruled? We explore his disappearance in "Three Rivers, Two Mysteries." Link in our bio.
