After one of their doctors went missing, patients and staff at Henry Ford Hospital in Jackson, Michigan, expressed alarm.
On December 22, 2022, Dr. Bolek Payan left the hospital just as a terrible winter storm was about to begin.
Who is Doctor Bolek Payan?
Board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Bolek Payan practises at Henry Ford Health.
After finishing medical school at Midwestern University Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2017, he first joined the Henry Ford team as a resident in 2020.
According to his biography, he is bilingual in Polish and English.
In order to spend the holidays with Payan, his family flew to Jackson County, but when they got there, all they could find was his truck, with no sign of him. Nicole Keiser, a family friend, said that he hasn’t been seen or heard from since he left the hospital on December 22.
Is Doctor Bolek Payan missing?
“Thursday morning Bolek dropped his dogs at 8 a.m. He told us that he was going to pick them up at 6:30, he already fed them, and that he’ll feed them again when he picks them up at 6:30 that night,” Keiser told News 10.
“So for his truck to be here without coming to the house to pick up the dogs that would be out of character. Something happened and I don’t know what.”
Since then, a missing persons investigation has been opened out of worry for his family, although there are currently no leads.
“Obviously with the weather and things like that, it kind of slowed things down but now we’re kind of amping things back up. We do have some dogs coming out and we’re exhausting all measures to make sure that we can do everything we can to try and locate him,” Sergeant Steve Stowe told News 10.
