Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5242) and 3 other sources
ReJean Joseph Bowman, 46, was last seen on April 15, 2005, at approximately 3:30 a.m., leaving his residence at the Waterways apartment complex in Kiamesha Lake, New York. Bowman had mentioned his plan to walk to a nearby Dunkin' Donuts, about half a mile away, to get coffee. He was carrying just a dollar and a bottle of Ambien prescription pills. Since then, he has not been heard from.

At the time of his disappearance, Bowman was struggling with several mental health issues, including bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia, for which he required medication. He also had a history of crack cocaine abuse. Bowman, who was living with his father at the time, may have become homeless after his disappearance, which worried his family due to his fragile medical condition. He was also known to go by the name "Patrick."

Despite searches and investigations, Bowman's whereabouts remain unknown. Authorities and his family continue to hope for any information that could resolve this case.
