As reported by Law & Crime, police connected Kosowski to the crime through blood found in the office bathrooms:

When police began investigating, they noticed a strong chemical odor coming from one of the office’s bathrooms and small drops of blood. Further forensic investigation showed a significant amount of blood in the same bathroom, according to police.

Using surveillance video, police noticed a suspicious person and car leaving the office building around the same time as Cozzi’s disappearance. Detectives were able to build a case and produce a search warrant for Kosowski and he was arrested during a traffic stop.

Police have not released information about a possible motive. Cozzi is listed in court filings as representing the defendant in a case where Kosowski sued his former employer, Dunedin Surgical Consultants.
