Zachary Pittman

Young Man Disappears Turns Up Dead
Foot Prints At The Rivers Edge :

Shortly after 11 p.m. on June 24, Zachary Pittman, 26, called his mother to say that he had gotten into a verbal argument with his sister over who would be living at the home. She called the police. When the police arrived, Pittman was gone. He had left the home with the clothes he was wearing and a backpack containing his wallet with little to no money inside and one change of clothes. Pittman, who had a three year old daughter, lived in a sparsely populated part of Pearl River, La., and did not own a car or cell phone. His mother, Christy Ragas, said her son would've had nowhere to go.

Ragas told the St. Tammany Sidell Sentry that her son had fallen on hard times. He was desperate and out of work and he had gotten mixed up in drugs. She said he was no angel, but “he was a human being and he was a good dad.” She added that they were very close and he called her often.

“Zach would never leave me no matter what,” she said.

Pittman's remains were found May 31, 2011 in a heavily wooded area of the Mossy Oak Hunting Club north of Louisiana 36, in St. Tammany and did not appear to have been buried. The remains were identified through dental records. The Coroner's Office has not yet determined the cause or manner of Pittman's death, Croft said. Because of the state of the remains, the office plans to bring in a forensic anthropologist from Louisiana State University to aid in the investigation, she said.

According to a post by Simon Barrett of Blogger News Network, "Pearl River is a small community, the population is approximately 2,000 people. It is a community where everyone knows everyone. Yet no one is talking about Zachary Pittman. It stretches my fertile imagination that a man accustomed to the area would wander off into one of the local swamps and die."

NOLA :

The skeletal remains found near Pearl River over the weekend belong to a man who went missing two years ago, authorities said Tuesday.

Zachary Pittman was 25 when he was reported missing in June 2009. Authorities were able to identify the remains, which were found in the Mossy Oak Hunting Club north of Louisiana 36, based on dental records, said Melanie Croft, executive Director of the St. Tammany Parish Coroner's Office.

The Coroner's Office has not yet determined the cause or manner of Pittman's death, Croft said. Because of the state of the remains, the office plans to bring in a forensic anthropologist from Louisiana State University to aid in the investigation, she said.

A pair of residents found the remains over the weekend and notified authorities, Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. George Bonnett said. Deputies and staff from the Coroner's Office spent Sunday and Monday combing the area for bones and other evidence, he said.

The remains were found in an area of St. Tammany that is so heavily wooded deputies could not bring in vehicles to aid in the search, Bonnett said. They did not appear to have been buried, he said.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

This large number of missing or murdered men is amazing to me and has become a feature of my current work. One right after the other lately. Some of them seem to be connected, such as those that are marked by the "smiley faces" and others seem to keep cropping up in the same area. Although it is not the same city, this is the second one from Louisiana in a few weeks now.

The first chart I ran was for the time he was last seen. It appears to support the argument that has been documented, this with a sibling as shown by the third house in this chart. Mercury in Gemini in the fourth shows two people close to the same age living in the same home. This works with the information that he and his sister argued in the home (mars in the third) and he left. Seventh house ruler in the fifth at this point intimates that his sister wanted to share space with him (maybe even a bedroom?) and he did not want that. Uranus ruling the first and placed in the first shows us that this was a rash, sudden decision but that it was his decision and he was not forced. Neptune in this chart and in the next chart, shows me that he was hiding something from everyone and that he had plans no one else knew anything about. Zachary had secrets, good or bad. And the saddest marker in this chart is the Moon in the sixth house, a traditional marker for someone who will never be seen alive again.

The next chart for an hour later, midnight, shows someone picked him up in a car and he was secretive about where he was going (Neptune with Jupiter in the twelfth and seventh house ruler in the third). Saturn at the seventh shows someone older driving the other car. Pluto in the tenth opposing Sun in the fourth tells me he was not really wanted where he was going. There was resistance and maybe even an argument. Moon in the fifth in Leo may mean he was friends with a younger person in that same home. This person may even have been a girlfriend or someone he had an interest in. He may have had plans to share this persons' quarters in the house and the older person was objecting. The Moon, in turn, is disposed of by the Sun in the fourth house emphasizes this point.

Uranus continuing to be disposed of by Neptune, now in the twelfth house, seems to indicate that even when he was asked to leave, he sneaked back into that home. Uranus and Neptune in mutual reception along with the Moon opposing the node is a combination describing a plan that met opposition but was acted on anyways. Was there a girl in Zachary's life? Or was there one he knew and admired from afar? There does seem to be a girl involved in this so far. With the Moon and Sun in mutual reception, it would seem that she was receptive, even if others in the home were not.

The chart for 2 am shows a definite hook up with a female. His marker, first house ruler Mars, is together with the seventh house ruler, Venus, in the first. His ruler is disposed of by her ruler. Pretty clear. Anyways, the only problem I have with this is the closeness of these planets to certain fixed stars. That will have to be watched as the charts progress.

Zachary's ruler remains in the first house, which shows him in charge of events. Aries on the first cusp with Mars in the first makes for a dynamic combination. Mars with Venus while Venus rules the seventh, shows the young man directing the female and making plans. The north node in the tenth house indicates that he has plans for another location for them and that they may have been planning on that.

It is important, if people are trying to find out what actually happened to Zachary, to discover who the female friend or girlfriend was. There was a girl he was close to and this is where he went when he left his family home.

In the chart for 4 am we see aspects and placements that clearly have them at a new location. Either they are still together or Zachary has moved on his own. You see his ruler, Mercury, in the first house, which shows him still making decisions and doing what he wants to. Mercury in Gemini implies involvement with another, which is why I think she might still be with him. But the seventh house ruler, Jupiter, is in the tenth. This either shows us a home owner where they have landed or that she is somewhere by herself and he has moved on. I am just not sure because the markers do not clearly describe male or female.

Jupiter with Neptune in the tenth implies someone hiding at a location such as a home. This may well be the girl he left with. She may well have been left behind to hide at this new location while Zachary went about some other business. But there is no doubt in my mind, looking at these charts, that Zachary was moving under his own power, making decisions. He was not, at this point, abducted or forced against his will.

Moving forward through chart after chart, each of them showing minor events and details, I am looking for the time and place when Zachary gets into trouble. In the early morning charts I just see people getting in and out of cars, moving about from place to place. Zachary seems to be concerned about money as well as the place he may be able to settle in. There is worry and movement. He does seem to get some sleep in the early morning hours but I cannot tell from the charts where he is. I cannot say whether he is indoors or out or whether he is sleeping in a car, which is possible. In the early morning charts the Sun is in mutual reception with the Moon while the Sun rules the first. There is no doubt that Zachary was sure of himself and believed he was able to figure it out. He just seems to be sure that everything will be fine.

In the 9 am chart you can see that he is with friends. Somebody he knew or was acquainted with anyways. He has decided to remain with these people but the big problem I see is that one or more of them are criminals. Uranus rules the seventh from the eighth, a strong marker for a criminal element. This person or persons live "on the edge" of society and live a free wheeling lifestyle with few restraints. This seems to have appealed to the young man acting out. Jupiter and Neptune in the seventh with Neptune and Uranus in mutual reception, it is probable that they were using or dealing drugs from this place and that more than a few people were hanging out there. The fourth house ruler, Pluto, is in the fifth house, describing this place as a drug or party house. Pluto is a violent, chaotic planet and can portend danger.

Venus on the tenth cusp in the sign Taurus indicates that this was an attractive home in a suburb. Landscaping and fresh paint. Not a dump at all. Venus conjunct Mars, the fourth house ruler, indicates that it is a family home in fact. From the street you would think it was nice and that a family lived there. You would never know that it was a drug house.

This chart shows that these people wanted to go into hiding for some reason; they did not want to be found. The seventh house ruler, Neptune, implies deception and it's placement in the sixth supports the idea that this person was in hiding. The sixth house also indicates army / navy ties so this person may have been in the military either at that time or in the past. Neptune is conjoined Jupiter and Jupiter rules the fourth house so this person has been hiding in this home, either owning the home himself or having ties to someone who did. At the same time, Neptune is in mutual reception with Uranus in the seventh house so this person was unpopular with others, not really wanted where he was, the "black sheep" so to speak. He was just unruly and difficult.

Mercury in Gemini in the tenth while ruling the tenth shows that there are a number of people living in this home and some of them are children. More than one family, it seems. Sun in the tenth in mutual reception with Moon in the twelfh indicates that Zachary knew someone who lived in this home and was given permission to stay. They are aware he is "hiding" and seem to be ok with that. At the same time, Saturn in the first is a sign of confinement or forced restraint so there are other elements at play here and, somehow but I am not sure how, Zachary feels trapped. And when considering that, at this point, it makes me think that they brought him here, confined him, got permission to keep him here and hid him for some reason. Moon in the twelfth is also a sign of confinement or seclusion.

This first chart, just after noon around 1 pm, I see that Zachary dies. First house ruler Venus in the eighth, Saturn in the twelfth, seventh house ruler in the eighth and Pluto at the fourth house cusp. He was forcibly murdered by some sort of violence and he was murdered by a criminal. One of the criminals present in this home. He was killed the afternoon of the 25th, the day after he disappeared. I have no idea why they took him, confined him and killed him. I am sure something transpired, perhaps in conversation, that led to this. I just don't see motive in the charts. I just see Zachary being somewhere, wanted by someone and not wanted by others. As I said earlier, Venus and Mars in Taurus are very close to fixed stars that indicate sadness and death and here they are positioned in the eighth house of death. His marker, Venus, is within a few degrees and sinister to a conjunction with Caput Algol, one of the most violent fixed stars and a strong omen of death.

Venus in Taurus with Venus ruling the eighth, is an indicator of strangulation or being beaten.. Taurus is the most puglistic sign and indicates violent sports like wrestling and boxing and is often an indicator of a beating with fists. Mercury in Gemini now in the eighth shows they dropped him in a wooded outdoor area and gave him a shallow grave. Mars ruling the seventh and in the eighth with Venus is another marker for a violent beating. Mars also indicates a weapon, Aries a gun. He may have been beat up and shot. I am not sure but this is likely.

Saturn in Virgo in the twelfth indicates the grave. Virgo indicating the earth, put in the dirt. In the next chart, you see Mercury move from the ninth to the eighth, a descriptor of bringing the body to the gravesite in a car and dropping it. Again, because of Mercury ruling the twelfth, a shallow grave

A quick descriptor of the man who actually killed him is first and foremost, he is a violent criminal. He may well be in prison now for some other violent crime. Physically fit, into working out and building muscle, strong and hot tempered. Mars in Taurus can mean a body builder or a boxer. He may fancy himself an athlete. But Aries on the seventh cusp describes a violent criminal. A singular clue that might help overall is there was a car accident on the way back from dumping the body. Pluto in Capricorn disposed of by Saturn in the eleventh tells me they got rid of the body before this happened and no connection was ever made. But a car accident recorded in that area at that time may help lead the way to these people. The car they were driving belonged to a friend and not to the actual killer. But everyone knew what he did. In fact, a group of people helped him get rid of Zachary's body.

I am not sure what happened to the girl that Zachary first hooked up with. She was shown, early on, being left at another home and him heading off with other people. But she may know who those people were, perhaps only one but someone, and is keeping quiet because she's afraid of being implicated. She had nothing to do with his death but if she could be discovered, she may have information. This girl is physically beautiful, has a nice body and a pleasant face. She is voluptuous overall, a bit heavier than most but still lovely. She is short in stature and has a sweet, attractive countenance. Zachary must have known her from somewhere, work, school, the neighborhood, because he went to her first. She may be an artist such as a painter, dancer, singer. She loves music and art and may still be in school.

Jake Latiolais

Car Found on Bridge; Young Man Disappears

From: NBC NEWS :

The last time anyone heard from Jake was early on the morning of August 29, when he said he was headed toward West Baton Rouge. After police received that anonymous call about a person reportedly going over the railing, responding officers found Jake's truck running and his cellphone on the pavement next to it.

"A dive team was called in, but no one was recovered," Captain Don Coppola, with the Baton Rouge Police, told Dateline. "So right now it's an open missing person's case. Homicide did a preliminary investigation, but it is an active missing person's case at this time."

Although police have said they do not know if Jake met with any type of foul play, his mother is firm in her belief that her son, who loved to fish and spent countless hours working on cars, simply would not disappear on his own, or take his own life. After she received a call from authorities saying her son's car had been located abandoned on the bridge, she says she headed to Jake's trailer to try and find him.

"When I got there, it automatically seemed suspicious. A window was punched out, there were holes in the walls. His personal items were missing, including his TV set. Just everything was a mess," said LeClercq.

Another detail that does not sit right with her, involves a recent surgery Jake had that left his foot in a boot and him walking on crutches. Those crutches have never been found.

"If he had jumped off the bridge, his crutches would have been found. They would have been left in his room, by his truck, on the bridge, floating in the water," explained LeClercq.

According to LeClercq, there are some who had a motive to cause her son harm. But without any proof, she admits the investigation is at a dead end. What she hopes is that whoever may know something, will come forward and finally give her the answers for which she is so desperate.

"I am ready for either outcome. But I need an outcome. I'm his voice. That's my son. God is not going to let me quit looking for my boy."

Jake Latiolais is described as 5'10" tall, weighing 150 lbs. with brown hair and brown eyes. If you have any information regarding Jake's whereabouts, please contact the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office at (225) 389-8617. The family is offering a $2,500 reward for information that helps bring Jake home

=========================

I was contacted by someone close to this young man to see if I couldn't analyze his case. It is a real mystery, as you can see by reading the article above. To be honest, the belief that he might have jumped doesn't sit well with me because why would you leave your truck running in the middle of the road with your cellphone on the pavement? You just jump out and jump over? Maybe but it seems strange to me. So I took a look at the charts and let me show you what I found and what I found shocked me. It is not at all what I expected. I was at first afraid to finish this case because of what I found; I was worried about upsetting the family which I have done in the past and regret. However, I messaged the family online and asked and they were excited by my preliminary findings and said they were ok with the post. So here it is.

I started the charts with the time he was last heard from, around 1 a.m. on the 29th. This chart shows Jake in a trailer or mobile home near his own neighborhood. Did he live in a trailer? Could he have been at home when the call was taken? Anyways, the Moon is in the fifth which shows a party of some sort so he is either waiting at home for friends to arrive or maybe a romantic interlude with a special girl? These are all consistent with the charts. So he is home, in a trailer or other temporary home, waiting on someone. He is NOT driving his car. In fact, here, right away, you see someone else in his car! The seventh house ruler Jupiter is in the third house while his marker, Mercury, is in the fourth. He is settled down somewhere while someone else had his car. Perhaps he was waiting for that person to return with his car and maybe this person was getting drinks, drugs or girls? Maybe not but the party marker is strong with the Moon in the fifth.

Another standout placement for me in this chart at this time is Pluto in the eighth. Pluto has no power in the chart yet but that could change and when it does, this placement will be paramount.

And then it does come into view right away. This next chart, for an hour later, shows Pluto in the seventh house. Pluto is disposed of by Saturn in the fifth and this is likely someone arriving for Jake. This was either someone he knew and expected to arrive or someone who came as a surprise. This person does not seem to have a good purpose here. Saturn and Pluto together like this indicate danger. These planets are in mutual reception so this person is powerful in the current situation and has the upper hand in many ways. This was a situation that was "meant to be" it seems, which means, in Astrology, that planetary influences were lined up the right way. In this same chart Jake's marker is the Moon in the fourth. So this shows him still at home.

The fourth house ruler is still Mercury showing this location to be temporary or changeful. This shows his home to be a rental apartment, a trailer, a hotel room or some other temporary location. Mercury at the nadir with the Moon and the node in the fourth shows that Jake had plans to be at his own home. He had planned to be at home and someone else knew that. Both the Moon and the node are disposed of by Venus so this may have had to do with a girl. The placement of Venus in the second house could mean she was expected. So he was at home waiting? And is this person who just arrived the person he was waiting for or was it someone unexpected?

Here Pluto is in the seventh in mutual reception with Saturn in the fifth. Mars in the fifth is also disposed of by Pluto. This connection between the seventh and fifth houses shows again someone either romantically linked or someone coming to party. It's hard to decide which it is. Saturn rules the seventh so this is someone much older than Jake and Capricorn implies someone with more status and money. Moon in the fourth shows Jake still at home. This person, ruled by Saturn conjunct Mars, can be violent or overbearing but this does not rule out women. I am just not sure what sex this person was or what their connection was. I can say that the ruler in Scorpio with Mars shows someone aggressive and possibly vengeful and jealous. Pluto is square to the Moon in Libra so there was a relationship there but it was not a very good one.

Nothing much changes here. Everything so far describes Jake waiting at home for someone to arrive while someone else had his car. In this chart, Jake is still at home and the rise of Jupiter in the first house shows that he is generally safe. He is not aware of any danger or trouble. I think I feel safe to say right now that he had nothing to do with his car being on that bridge. He did not jump off that bridge. In fact, no matter how far ahead I run the charts I do not see this man dieing. I firmly believe he is still alive and I think the running truck was staged on the bridge. I think the police might start with the person who made the false call about someone jumping off that bridge. That theory supports the idea that someone took his man's car and then came along to do some not so nice things to him...

In this chart, things change. You can see the Moon moving into the third from the fourth which shows us Jake leaving his current location in a car. The first house ruler, the Sun, is in the second house showing concern over money or possessions. Since the Sun is disposed of by Mercury in the third, I think the concern is now over his car. Notice the seventh house ruler in the ninth house (the third from the seventh), showing us someone else in a car, either coming or going. Uranus is disposed of by Mars so I can now say that this is most likely a male and an aggressive male at that. Mars is conjunct Saturn showing this male to be much older and since Saturn is in mutual reception with Pluto it is likely he more than aggressive and possibly dangerous. I believe this man to be arriving and then leading the other car along as they leave. I am pretty sure that Jake was bullied into going along and I cannot say for sure that he was not assaulted in the process. I am beginning to believe that he had actually been waiting for someone to come back with his car and they never did; He got grabbed instead.

I am not sure if anyone has checked Jake's bank accounts, if he had one. It looks to me that he was forced to get money from somewhere for some purpose here and since Mercury is in the second, it is money that is likely to be stolen from him or represents money he is going to earn for them that they will take. This is part of the picture that comes to me as I read these charts. He was forced to go along, he has since lost his car, and now he is locating money for these people. You will see more clearly in the charts for 5 and 6 am exactly who these people are.

Neptune in Pisces just entering the seventh shows somebody new on the scene. This is a drug dealer or shady person. This combined with Pluto ruling the fourth from the fifth house tells me the next destination is a drug house and they are either forcing Jake to take drugs (Pluto) or they are sneaking them in somehow (Neptune). This is not good. Mars ruling the fourth from the fourth in the sign Scorpio (in dignity) and in tandem with Pluto, I would say Jake is not safe in this house. There is violence there and evil intent. Mars and Pluto together do not always mean violence but their placement here indicates it. Venus ruling the tenth and moving in the first towards the ascendant, there is a woman involved in this. In fact, this second location is a home owned by a woman. With Venus and Jupiter in Leo near the first cusp and Venus on the tenth, I think it's a large, beautiful home in a suburb. Leo indicates something showy with lots of curb appeal. In some ways, there is glamor here in whatever way a home can have glamor, such as gold trim, bright flowers, designer shades, etc... Sun ruling the first from the first in Virgo tells me Jake has been here before and went along willingly to some extent because he knows this woman. Sun disposed of by Mercury in the second also tells me there is money involved.

Here you see the criminal arrive. Uranus ruling the seventh from the eighth. Not only drug dealers but other criminals as well. Jake is in scary company here. I am not sure at this point what they want him for. Unpaid labor (slavery), drug runner or porn star. I am just not sure. It could be any of the above. I am seeing drugs, money and sex. So take your pick.

Sun in the first tells us that Jake is still operating under his own power. This means he is not confined, caged, tied up, locked in a closet or knocked out. He is just there. I think he was bullied into going along but he isn't resisting.

Pluto in the fifth disposed of by Mars and Saturn bothers me. If he were a woman I would say they raped her but I am not sure when it comes to a male. But the fifth house doesn't always refer to sex and can also imply "partying" or using drink or drugs. He may have been more willing to submit if they drugged him. I am just not sure because I did not know Jake, his habits or personality. The charts do show him being worried about his car, which I believe he loaned but did not expect to be stolen. So perhaps he felt he had no way out.

The charts I run for the remaining morning hours show the same situation. They have him there and he is going along, either out of fear or a forced willingness to be involved. I am just not sure. He does not appear to be confined. But I do see bullying, some physical violence and threats. So he is most likely scared.

The charts keep showing him in this same home, owned by a woman, nicely appointed with curb appeal. Something showy or glamorous about the decor with nice gardens and showy flowers outside.

This chart shows him to be either asleep or unconscious. You can see the Moon in the twelfth with the node which may mean he has gone to bed especially since the first house ruler is in the first, indicating he is safe and alive. Mars conjoined Saturn indicates self control and carefulness so he may be going along to keep from being harmed. Moon in the twelfth could also mean being hidden or stashed away, out of view and this is underscored by the node, which shows planning and the disposition of the Moon by Venus in the tenth. So he has been to this place before, it is a home he has visited and he knows the woman who owns it. This should help those who are tracking him down. The node indicates they are hiding him in a familiar place, a place they planned to use in advance. This implies that Jake was targeted, which I am inclined to believe mainly because they took his car to disable him. His secondary marker in this chart is Pluto in the third, which shows his continued concern for his car. Capricorn indicates he is worried about what the car will cost him.

No matter what chart for what day I draw up, he is still alive and still with these people. I am convinced they are holding him in that same neighborhood, or, at least they were for the first month after his disappearance. I cannot swear that he is still alive because I can't run charts for every day since but because they didn't kill him right away we can assume they had a purpose for him. Because of this, I believe that Jake is still alive but not in a good situation.
