The search for a 41-year-old man with schizophrenia, Robert Srnka, who has been missing since December, continues in Detroit. CBS Detroit reported that Srnka was last seen around 2 p.m. on Dec. 15, near his residence on the 1700 block of Mt. Elliott. He is about 6 feet tall, weighs around 200 lbs, and has long blonde hair and hazel eyes. Known for carrying a red suitcase secured with a bungee cord, Srnka was wearing a long trench coat at the time of his disappearance.
Police and Srnka's family are concerned for his well-being because of his mental health condition. Having not been seen for nearly two months, there is an understood urgency to the pleas for public assistance. His aunt, specifically concerned, told the authorities about his schizophrenia, as ClickOnDetroit highlighted in their coverage of the ongoing search.
The Detroit Police Department has been canvassing the area and reaching out through media for leads. They encourage anyone with information regarding Srnka's whereabouts to come forward.
