Yes the site the partial coin was in is, which is now closing down is: https://localbitcoins.com/

The site they gave me with the instructions to withdraw was: https://localbitcoins.com/guides/how-to-withdraw

And here is the emails from their support team: https://app.screencast.com/FQogFlWhMPQEO

What a shame people do this. I still don't understand how they can steal it unless it is an inside job from that website that is closing that had my coins but again...what do you do or recourse do you have?

I guess I can be glad it was only $6900 USD but still very disappointing.

Hmm. I don't see anything wrong from this. All the links are valid as well—assuming you used those. And you don't see this particular address in you electrum receiving addresses, correct? because it's where the .057 went— bc1qkxj7nrgqfevrznfg2huu85p08kdt344qc7qq5d

If so, my next theory would be a malware or something? Localbitcoins is reputable so I can't imagine them scamming..
