The U.S. Marshals Service is looking for a 91-year-old federal judge who has been reported missing from his Pennsylvania home.
Edwin Kosik disappeared from his home near Scranton around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. The Marshals Service says he’s driving a gray 2015 Acura with driver’s side damage and may be “at special risk of harm or injury.”
Kosik stopped hearing cases last month due to health issues.
The Marshals Service is planning a news conference Thursday to discuss his disappearance.
Kosik was appointed to the federal bench in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan. He’s best known for presiding over the notorious “kids for cash” case, in which two local judges were accused of taking money from the developer of a pair of for-profit detention centers.
