Details of Disappearance
Cushey resided in Union Township, Pennsylvania in 2001. He was employed at Forward Construction Inc. at the time. Cushey was staying with a friend at an apartment above Totally Tattoos in Monongahela, Pennsylvania on October 12, 2001. He was last seen inside the tattoo shop during the day. He was supposed to go to a bar that night, but never showed up.
Cushey had borrowed his father's Jeep prior to his disappearance. Afterwards someone returned it. There were no fingerprints whatsoever inside; it had been wiped clean.
Cushey's roommate claimed that Cushey stole some money and his van on the day of his disappearance. The vehicle was discovered over an embankment on Morgan Run Road in Morgantown, West Virginia on October 16, four days after Cushey disappeared. Cushey's mother told the media that a stick had been placed on the van's gas pedal and the vehicle crashed into a tree. There was no sign of Cushey or anyone else at the scene. Authorities returned the van to Cushey's friend shortly afterwards.
Authorities searched a portion of Cheat Lake in West Virginia in November 2001 in an attempt to locate evidence pertaining to Cushey's case. They found a hat that Cushey's family members believe was his, but nothing else. Cushey's family hired a psychic, who said that her visions of Cushey's whereabouts were connected to the lake. His relatives suspect that foul play was involved in his case. They said that it is uncharacteristic of Cushey to leave without warning. During the search for him, Cushey's sister received a threatening phone call from an anonymous person who warned them to stop searching for Cushey or "something would happen." The individual has never been identified.
