DEARBORN (WWJ) - A missing man's family is planning to search Belle Isle in Detroit after his car was found abandoned on the island park.
Relatives say 24-year-old Sajjad Almayali was last seen around 11 a.m. Tuesday when he left his home in Dearborn. He also left behind his phone.
Almayali's brother went out looking for him and wound up finding his car around 3 p.m. Wednesday, abandoned on Belle Isle. His car keys, wallet and jewelry were left inside the car and all doors were locked.
