Police seek missing man after vehicle found 'under suspicious circumstances

American Fork police said Paul Heiner Swenson, 30, was last seen at about 3 p.m. at his home after he took his family’s black 2016 BMW X6 four-door sedan to leave for an appointment in Salt Lake County. Police said it is possible he was suffering from a medical condition when he left.

His family was able to determine Swenson was in the area of 4700 South and 900 East in Murray at one point Thursday night, but Swenson’s cellphone has been turned off and he has not been heard from since, police said.

This does not sound good, however if his medical condition/emergency is related to mental health, then I think there is reason for hope that he will be found. <modsnip>. Please let him be safe!
 
Wondering what "the appointment" was for???

Perhaps it triggered an anxiety attack???

:dunno:
 
Hi! I'm a local. The 4700 S and 900 E is a walmart to the east and a K mart in addition to a strip mall (with few businesses, and hardly any customers) to the west. It threw me off that he would have an appointment there considering there's not a whole lot going on in that part of the city...

HI- Welcome! Thanks for sharing! Do you know about the neighborhood? Is it mostly new or old residential? Are there hospitals or clinics nearby? Thanks much

I hadn't made that connection, that the appointment was at the strip mall...

I'm not sure that is the case...

Does anyone know for sure??? Can anyone confirm???

TIA.

I've not seen any mention of the exact location of the appointment.
 
Stock image of his BMW It's more like a small SUV than a sedan. (I've wanted it's predecessor, an X5, they're awesome vehicles)pixlr_20170729194504112.jpgpixlr_20170729194504112.jpg
 
Yes! I realized after posting that I had made an assumption that that was where the appointment was, and that they had him on security footage. Totally guessing there.

The area he was spotted is a shopping strip close to a wealthy, safe part of the city. There's a hospital on 3900 S and 900 E, and I know there are some mental health and physical therapy clinics around where he was last seen.

The area they found his car is not equally safe. I'm thinking about driving by there in an hour or so to scope out the area. If I go, I can take some pictures and just observe what's around.

Comments to posts on his find page are extremely concerning. I'm heartsick for his family. Everything I've seen posted about him is that he's a really good, sweet guy. Unfortunately, I don't think this is going to end well, but I'm hoping I'm wrong!
 
Is there an auto parts store in that area? An O'Reilly's?

There's a tire store.

General update--The news has covered it and there are giant search teams looking for Paul. I'm hoping they find him soon. His wife is fairly big on social media, and I've been keeping up with the stream there.
