Missing Lockport attorney located in Niagara Falls
A missing Lockport attorney was located by Niagara County Sheriff's deputies at a Niagara Falls department store on Saturday afternoon. Deputies were called to the store about 3:30 p.m. Saturday to interview Scott Stopa. A release from the sheriff's office about half an hour later said it was determined he was safe. Family members had reported Stopa had not been seen or heard from since Tuesday. 'Our family is extremely concerned for his safety and well-being,' Stopa's sister Jenny told the Gazette Thursday night. 'No one's heard from him and his phone is at his home.' Stopa is a partner at Ben & Stopa Attorneys-at-Law on East Avenue in Lockport. He lives in the Town of Cambria. Stopa's online profile indicates that his legal practice is 'family-law focused.' The profile says Stopa 'represents clients in divorce, custody, paternity, and guardianship proceedings.' He is also described as a 'court-certified' child guardian. Filicetti said Thursday members of his office's Criminal Investigation Bureau had been working on Stopa's disappearance since the missing person's report was first filed.
