Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP25516) and 4 other sources
Roger Michael Borowiak, 45 years old at the time of his disappearance, was last seen on May 25, 1995, in Mankato, Minnesota. Described as a white male with gray hair and brown eyes, Borowiak stood 5'10" tall and weighed approximately 190 pounds. On the day he went missing, he was reportedly wearing a white polo shirt and blue jeans. Borowiak also had a notable scar on his abdomen, which could aid in his identification.

Despite efforts to locate him, few details about Borowiak’s disappearance have emerged. His case remains classified as missing, and no evidence or leads have surfaced to explain the circumstances surrounding his vanishing. His family and authorities have searched for answers for many years, but the lack of information has made solving the case difficult. There has been no activity related to his financial accounts or any confirmed sightings since the day he disappeared.

The Mankato Department of Public Safety continues to handle the investigation, but Borowiak's disappearance remains unsolved. He is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), though no significant updates have been reported. Despite the passage of time, his case is still open, and authorities encourage anyone with information to come forward to help bring closure to his family.
