Family Fears for Missing Plymouth Township Man
DETROIT – It’s been two weeks since Dylan Karides, a 30-year-old man from Plymouth Township, mysteriously vanished, and his family is understandably anxious about his well-being. His disappearance took a concerning turn when his vehicle was found abandoned just days ago, leaving loved ones hoping for answers.
A Disturbing Discovery
Dylan was last seen in Novi on September 13, but it wasn’t until a few days after that he was reported missing to the local police. Fast forward to Monday, and Dylan’s car was recovered in Southwest Detroit, specifically at Vinewood and Ash streets. Upon inspection, family members were alarmed to find his personal belongings scattered around, including his phone, adding to their worries.
A History of Going Off the Radar
Dylan’s family shared that while he has a history of being “off the radar” for a few days, they expressed that he has never been this distant or unresponsive. Typically, he might not check in for a couple of days, but he always reconnects after that short period. The long stretch without communication this time has left them feeling increasingly uneasy.
Frequent Locations and Habits
Family members described Dylan as someone who often frequents areas around Inkster, Detroit, and Taylor. They’ve also noted that his Google Maps location data indicates he regularly visits a Speedway gas station located at Ecorse Road and Monroe Boulevard in Taylor. While these details are helpful, they’re still struggling to understand why he’s disappeared.
Physical Description and Current Concerns
For anyone who might have seen him or has information regarding his whereabouts, here’s a brief description: Dylan stands at about 6 feet tall and weighs between 180-200 pounds. He has brown hair, hazel eyes, and sports a beard along with a septum piercing. Although he usually wears glasses, it’s unclear whether he has them with him at this time. This information could be crucial for anyone who might be able to spot him.
How You Can Help
The family is urgently calling out to the public for any information that might lead to Dylan’s safe return. If you have any knowledge of his whereabouts or have seen him since he went missing, you are encouraged to reach out to Plymouth Township police at 734-354-3232. There’s also the option to submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-SPEAK-UP. Every little piece of information could make a difference.
As the days pass, Dylan’s family keeps hope alive, relying on their community and beyond for support. They know that together, they can help bring him back home. So let’s keep our eyes peeled and help where we can. Every shared story, every bit of information counts in these crucial moments.
