Pass his info on!
Donald "DJ" Wright is a ref at our field, a teammate, and a friend. He has been missing for 2 weeks, and last seen closing up the Riverside Renegade field.
Buddy and Robin, his parents, are taking it pretty hard, and we need to find out at least some news on him. If you have seen him, or hear anything, please contact the Pittsburgh Police ( 412-255-8477 ) or Riverside Renegades Paintball (412-462-4661).

Missing Iraq War Vet Lost Job, Had Fight With Girlfriend - Pittsburgh News Story - WTAE Pittsburgh
Quote:
PITTSBURGH -- Police have few leads in the case of an Iraq war veteran missing for weeks.
Donald Wright, 32, had just lost his job and had a fight with his girlfriend, which worries his family and girlfriend. Police said they know Wright might be upset, and they just want to make sure he's not in any danger, WTAE Channel 4's Shannon Perrine reported.
Police said Wright was last seen by his girlfriend on Feb. 26 at their home in South Park. Then, he was seen near Desdemona Avenue in the city's Hazelwood neighborhood at a paintball park on March 2 with another person.
The next day, his car was found in the area, with his cell phone in it, but Wright was gone. Wright was also spotted at a South Side bar, but weeks have passed since anyone has seen him.
Police described Wright as a white man with brown hair who is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. Police said they want to know why Wright would leave without his car or cell phone.
If you have information regarding this investigation, contact Pittsburgh police by dialing 412-255-8477.
One thing I want to clear up, the news story has one major thing mixed up. DJ was not in the military yet, his brother is / was.
I thought it was strange that in the year or so that I have been away from the field, that he would have been to the middle east and back.
