When Culolias was not heard from by Sunday, his mother, Grace Culolias reported him missing.
Authorities have searched the north side of the Salt River east of Tempe Town Lake and north of Tempe Marketplace for Jack but he has not been found.
On Tuesday afternoon one of the Culolias’ family members did find a shoe near the water’s edge that they believe belongs to Jack. The police are processing the shoe for DNA.
Investigators have talked to ASU students and staff at the Cadillac Ranch for leads in the case and are now reaching out to the public for information on the whereabouts of Culolias.
Culolias’ mother, stepmother and two brothers from Brea, California arrived in Arizona to help with the search.
“We’re twins, so we share everything, talk about everything; basically, we’re like the same person, so it’s just heartbreaking that my brother’s gone right now, and I just want him back,” said Alex Culolias.
Grace, spoke with ABC News and said she was worried about the hazing rituals during fraternity pledging “hell week” and concerned about Jack. He had told her that he was anxious and expected hazing as part of the fraternity initiation rituals.
The university released a statement to ABC News that stated it “takes a very strong stance against hazing and has zero tolerance for it.”
Anyone with information is urged to call police at 480-965-3456.
A Facebook page called #BringJackHome has been set up for Jack.
