Authorities in Boston are asking the public to help them find a 22-year-old man who has been missing since early Saturday morning.

Zachary Marr was visiting the city from Harvard, Massachusetts, when he vanished outside a bar around 1:40 a.m., police said in a release.

Marr was last seen outside the Bell in Hand bar, where he was celebrating his birthday with his cousins, his family told CBS Boston. He apparently left his jacket inside when he went outside for a smoke, then texted one of his relatives to say he wasn't allowed back in because the bar was closing.

Amanda Marr, his cousin, said he was gone when she went outside about 10 minutes later. 

Two calls to Marr's phone went unanswered, she said, before they began going straight to voicemail.

"I knew in my gut something wasn't right," she told the local TV station.

 

Marr's family reported him missing. Amanda said she visited local businesses later on Saturday to ask if they could share any video surveillance footage. One video, which was taken across the street from the bar around the time Marr went missing, appears to show him standing outside.

Marr is described as 5-foot-8, 175 pounds with short brown hair, blue eyes and a beard. He was last seen wearing dark jeans, a blue sweatshirt, and black sneakers.

Anyone with information regarding his disappearance is advised to contact District A-1 detectives at (617) 343-4571 or Harvard, Massachusetts, Police Sergeant Coates at (978) 456-1212.
