Police have released surveillance video of a Chester County man who went missing last month in Pittsburgh.


Police believe the man in the video is 22-year-old Paul Kochu. It was taken near his home on the south side of Pittsburgh in the early morning hours of December 16th, which is the day he disappeared.


His father George Kochu, who is also known as Jack, said he is relatively certain the man staggering in the video is his son.


He said, "It looks like he is walking and he is in some amount of discomfort or pain. So we think that he was injured in some way and somehow."


Sources said Paul and his roommates went to a bar the day before he went missing.


Paul left early, but called his roommates to help him with a cut on his hand he got on a broken drinking glass.


After the roommates helped Paul, they went to get something to eat.


When they returned home, Paul was missing, along with his cell phone, wallet and keys.


His car was still parked outside of the home.


Paul moved from South Coventry Township to Pittsburgh to attend Duquesne University.


He graduated and became a nurse at Allegheny General Hospital.


Family members have made several trips to Pittsburgh to find Paul, but they haven't had any luck.


Kochu said, "Helplessness is what I'm feeling right now."


Police are now using sonar equipment to search rivers.


The community has come together to hand out flyers and offer free meals to the family.


The father said, "We are hoping that Paul is alive. We're hoping that someone is taking care of him. We're hoping that someone will call the police soon and let them know that they have Paul, that he is okay, that he is hurt, that he is hungry and that we can come and get him as soon as possible."


Police are also looking through surveillance video from several banks as well and the family is offering a $20,000 reward.
