He ODed. The Boston Licensing Board ruled the bar was not at fault.

The cell phone would certainly need power to be tracked; if the battery's dead, it's not trackable.
As for turning it off, most cell phones nowadays are never "turned off" but put into a sleep/suspend mode, in which they are still trackable.

to acknowledge that somebody that has been gone since (basically) friday is either not interested in being found, or is in dire straights. its end of business monday right now.
reality can bite sometimes. but this isn't a support group for the lost, so i'll continue my theorizing.
i suppose its possible this kid seriously throws down for presidents day

One of my professors, John Daverio, disappeared and ended up drowned in the Charles. Such a sweet man, and what a waste. https://www.bu.edu/bridge/archive/2003/04-18/daver...
Let's hope that things go better for Zachary Marr. Thinking of him, his family, and his friends.
They should make a waiting

They should make a waiting space for people who are not allowed back in bars after closing......
Especially in really cold weather or just for safety purposes only. Something has to change. You can't just leave people outside in the city, in the cold, by themselves. That's wrong.
yeah

people should have no responsibility to ensure their own safety. every bar should have to build a little hut outside with a space heater.
lets use your neighborhood as a test area for it. oh, whats that, you have a massive problem with the homeless people that will use it? too bad, it's a safety issue.

Or the bars should just not be allowed to keep people out until literally closing time. The state liquor regulators already nanny-state bars to death, especially over alcohol+safety issues, so this seems like a pretty simple thing to add.
Missing young men

Read the book Missing 411 A Sobering Coincidence by David Paulides. This seems to be happening every day. Every time I see that a young man is missing I say to myself, "Another one will be found in the river." And 9 out of 10 times it happens. We have had plenty of them here in MN & WI, but it is happening all over the world now and the rate is increasing. I am in my 50's and I cannot remember this happening over the years. Now I see a headline every other day. It's crazy. It was cold. This kid would have tried to get inside. A cab? A bus? Anywhere warm would do while he waited.
It's not happening every day

We remember the cases because they're so odd and shocking, but, no, this sort of thing does not happen every day (and can we remember for a moment we don't yet know what happened here?)
In the meantime, nobody seems to care much about the homeless men who roll into the Muddy River at a rate of one or two a year.
It must happen every day

I mean, there are what, 7 billion people in the world. Surely in China alone they must average one person a day falling into their various rivers.
That said, I agree with you. I would guess this happens maybe 4 times a year. I think I will research this historically at some point to see how many drownings there were a hundred years back. My guess is that the number will be about the same.
Of course, that is not to say that this is how this story will play out. I think we are all making assumptions here. My hope is that he will show up tomorrow with a hell of a story to tell his friends only to find out that Dan Hausle wants to hear the story too.

The book I mentioned has autopsy results in it that you will never hear about. They are not drowning.

Unless there is specific evidence of foul play, death by misadventure takes many forms and is particularly hard on young men.
Like the whole smileyface conspiracy theory, it is all just random happenstance meets late adolescence meets alcohol and nothing more: http://homicidecenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/...

how close to waterways?

Not completely picturing the geography here (and I've never been to the Bell in Hand) - how close is the Bell in Hand to the harbor or the Charles?
I've added a map below
By adamg

You can see it's not that far from the harbor.
Let's keep in mind we have no evidence so far he made it that far. The Bell in Hand claims he was last spotted heading towards the "surface artery" (i.e., the Greenway), but that still leaves numerous different ways he could have gone.
That's what I was thinking...

Any idea where they obtained the surveillance footage? Just wondered how they could possibly assume he was heading in the direction of the Surface Artery, when that's about an 18 minute walk from the Bell in Hand...He could have been heading anywhere...
18 minute walk??

This area has many traffic lights, one right in front of public market where last seen on camera. One block down there is another light and several making way down greenway. They all have surveillance cameras on top. Where is the footage of this poor man from these cameras? It would seem pretty simple for BPD to solve where he went based on all the cameras from businesses in area and traffic cameras.
My family knew William Hurley who went missing when left in middle of Bruins game. The Nashua st jail as well as Spaulding rehab and parking lot for Spaulding surely had surveillance of what happened to will. He turned up in the water behind Spaulding a week later, deceased. His phone was found smashed on Nashua st. Not drunk, not drugs. Just tired from working at the crack of dawn at a private country club. People just don't disappear and end up in the water dead.
Praying this young man is safe and this does not end the same way.

Honestly, I don't understand why people are trolling this posting. The guy is missing, and none of us really knows what happened.
Work of David Paulides ("Missing 411")
By Occam's Raver

I see another poster made reference to the work of ex-cop David Paulides. He and his son managed to get sufficiently crowd-funded last year to begin production of a movie about his investigations into thousand of missing persons whose cases have unresolved issues and truly boggling similar occurrences which cannot be explained by forensic science. This guy is a total by-the-book, modern Joe Friday (Dragnet), "Just the facts, ma'am"-type of ex-cop.
There are many YouTube interviews with him the last couple of years. I like the ones at "Where Did The Road Go" channel, where the episodes are titled by Paulides's' book titles: "Missing 411: The Devil's in the Details" and "Missing 411: A Sobering Coincidence"; and at "Coast To Coast", best. His books are being resold on Amazon for a king's ransom by the unscrupulous. They are very reasonbly-priced on Paulides's own Website: canammissing . com . He has several Facebook pages, as well.
I contacted him by email about the Zach Marr case and he soon replied that he had already uploaded the case to his Facebook as soon as the information was publicly known - so he's right up on these strange occurrences in an ongoing way. The federal government has endlessly hindered his attempts at FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) discovery. It's all stranger than anyone could ever imagine.
Not to cause young Mr. Marr's family any more grief than they're already experiencing, but this case fits with most of the related cases' facts, which proves nothing . . . yet.
Missing men in boston

I encourage all of you to google the facts about these cases before you comment. Not all of these missing young men were out drinking. Yes there is a common thread! these cases seem to be linked to late at night.except for one (which may not be related) in some of these they spoke to someone minutes before they disappeared and were not even near the river. But found later in the River. In a few of the Autopsy reports they say were in the River for 48 hours but was missing for 7-10 days. Also these so called drownings are happening were there are no cameras and there cell phones are found on the shore or smashed. There are two many of these incidences now not to suspect suspicion. I find it highly unlikely William Hurley who just spoke to his girlfriend minutes before his cell phone died and told her the address where he was '99 Nashua St" she said I will be right there. She shows up minutes later to pick him up and he is not there. she drives around and she said it was like he vanished into thin air. His cell phone was found smashed and police released few details. He was found dead in the Charles River. The District Atty says he was only in the water for a few days. But was missing for 6 days. And that's just one case that is strange. There are many more...... So please be careful when you are out late at night and NEVER put yourself in the position where you are by yourself, Even for a minute because that is all it takes for something bad to happen. There is now some private investigators on these cases. Hopefully we can find out what is happening to these bright young men who all had such great futures ahead.
Please do check back in

Just stop it now.
There is video of him walking on the railroad bridge over the Charles. Alone. His body was found in the Charles. There was no sign of foul play.
How about working on how bodies of homeless guys keep on getting fished out of Fort Point Channel. I'm not saying that something fishy is going on, except that people like you selectively ignore them with your crackpot theories.
