Tomasz Kosowski, a plastic surgeon from Tarpon Springs, was arrested over a mystery lawyer death. A body has yet to be found, but police say they have some strong suspects.
The case centers on a forensics investigation that revealed a significant amount of blood in the bathroom at the law firm where Cozzi worked. Officers said they began searching for a suspicious person and vehicle, which led them to Kosowski’s home.
They say they searched his house for a while before making the arrest, and found the evidence that led to their decision. They say the most impressive piece of evidence was a license plate reader that showed a cart with a red bag or blanket that appeared to contain a human body. It was pulled to Kosowski’s house, and he later showed it to investigators. They also made the official case that it was the most important piece of information they found, according to their news release.

Tomasz Kosowski, 44, was arrested Saturday in connection with the disappearance of Steven Cozzi from a law firm where he worked, according to the Largo Police Department. Authorities say a suspicious person and vehicle were seen at the office, leading them to Kosowski, who remains in Pinellas County Jail on first-degree murder charges.
Cozzi’s wallet, phone and keys were found in the law office along with a significant amount of blood, police said. They also found a Toyota Tundra with a non-registered tag that was driving to Kosowski’s Tarpon Springs home on Tuesday, police said in an affidavit.
Kosowski was a plastic surgeon and is listed as the owner of Xiluet Plastic Surgery, a Miami-area clinic that advertises “extraordinary cosmetic procedures at affordable prices,” according to the Florida Department of Health. He received his medical degree from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, and has three plastic surgery fellowships. He started at the Laufer Institute of Plastic Surgery in 2016 and left that firm last year to start his own practice.

Tomasz Kosowski, a 44-year-old plastic surgeon from Tarpon Springs, was arrested Saturday and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Steven Cozzi. The Largo attorney vanished Tuesday at the firm he worked at, Blanchard Law, which represents defendants in a lawsuit filed by Kosowski, police said.
According to court records, Kosowski filed a lawsuit against his former employer and its associates in 2019, alleging negligence, breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation. In his complaint, he accused the woman he assigned to do his insurance billing of not filing claims and lying to his patients, costing him tens of thousands of dollars and resulting in negative reviews about him online.
He left Laufer Institute in 2018 and set up his own practice, the AP reported. The Department of Health lists his primary practice address as 8396 SW Eighth Street in Miami, where Xiluet Plastic Surgery advertises “extraordinary cosmetic procedures at affordable prices.” Newsweek contacted Blanchard Law and the Laufer Institute for comment by email.

Tomasz Kosowski, 44, was arrested on Saturday and charged with first-degree murder in the disappearance of a lawyer from a Florida law firm. He was accused of killing Steven Cozzi, who had been missing since last week from the firm where he worked.
Cozzi went missing on Tuesday from the office of Blanchard Law in Largo, a firm that represents some former co-workers who are suing Kosowski. Police said they were looking for a suspicious person and vehicle seen in the building, which led them to Kosowski’s Tarpon Springs home.
A search of Kosowski’s home uncovered evidence that led to his arrest, police said in an affidavit. They found a red Toyota Tundra that had passed a license plate reader camera near the office on Tuesday. It was later spotted in Miami, according to the affidavit. There was blood in the bed of the truck, as well as on the driver’s side headrest and floorboard.
