Missing: 'Suspicious circumstances' surrounding Largo lawyer's disappearance, police say
Largo police say there are "suspicious circumstances" surrounding the disappearance of Steven Cozzi, a Pinellas County lawyer with Blanchard Law, P.A.
This article from Fox News Tampa said the bathroom was a communal bathroom in the same building as the law firm and the police were there on Tuesday (day he was reported missing) and they fingerprinted the bathroom. The bathroom was in close proximity to the law firm so I’m assuming this is the bathroom that everyone used in that firm.

Lois Cozzi says her family is “frantic with worry” after her son Steven Cozzi, mysteriously disappeared from work on Tuesday.
Steven is a lawyer with Blanchard Law, P.A., a law firm on Belcher Road in Largo.
Jake Blanchard, the managing partner of the firm, told WFLA’s Shannon Behnken that Steven went to the bathroom during work Tuesday and never returned. His phone, wallet, and keys were found on his desk.
After Blanchard reported Steven missing, the office lobby was shut down as a crime scene. Employees told WFLA they found blood in the bathroom Tuesday and smelled the odor of bleach.
“As a family, we are frantic with worry and numb with fear over Steven’s disappearance,” Lois said the statement. “We would like to thank the Largo Police and the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office for working diligently to try and ascertain what has happened. bbm

I worked with Jake Blanchard before he stared his own firm and I’ve known Steve since law school. You can’t look up cases in the county he was supposed to appear on Friday by the attorney’s name. However, I don’t think it had anything to do with a case. If I get any other information I’ll post it here. Talking to a mutual friend today to see if I can get any more news.

There was an arrest for first degree murder this morning. Not sure if it’s related, but there’s a connection with the law firm. Pinellas plastic surgeon arrested for 1st-degree murder by Largo Police - IONTB
Hoping it’s not connected and thinking of his family and friends.

Oh wow! That is really odd to toss away your career?! Crime of passion? Seems like a surgeon wouldn't toss away their career for money because they can prevail or recover in that type of situation.

"On May 2, 2019, Dr. Kosowski filed a lawsuit against many individuals associated with the Laufer Institute of Plastic Surgery. Many of the defendants, in this case, are being represented by attorney Jake C. Blanchard of the Blanchard Law, P.A. firm located at 1501 S Belcher Rd. It is the same firm where attorney Steven Cozzi was last seen on Tuesday, March 21, 2023. According to Largo Police, he is missing under suspicious circumstances."
The case is ongoing, and there was a hearing scheduled for March 21, 2023.
The same day Steve went missing. I wonder if it is related.

Florida Lawyer Vanishes on Office Bathroom Break

Snip
Law firm employees told WFLA they found blood in the office bathroom and smelled bleach. Police have not commented on that, but the bathroom was covered in fingerprint dust last week as detectives looked for clues.

It looks like they updated the article specifically to say it is connected.
