Bethesda Hospital Asks Public to Help Find Missing Patient
ST. PAUL, MN--(Marketwire - May 27, 2008) - The public is being asked to help locate a
patient with a brain injury who left the campus of a local hospital where
she was undergoing treatment.
Marijke (pronounced "Mah-reye'-kah") Logan, age 23, left the grounds of
Bethesda Hospital in downtown St. Paul yesterday (Monday, May 26) at
approximately 1:30 p.m. Local police were immediately alerted and arrived
within minutes to gather information and to search the surrounding
neighborhood.
The hospital has been working with the family to determine where Marijke
may have been headed. Now, after 24 hours of the authorities canvassing
the area, the community is being asked for its help in finding Marijke.
Marijke is 5'6", 170 pounds, with long blond hair. She was last seen
wearing a greenish-grey sweater, a brown tank top with crocheted lacework
around the neck, light blue stonewashed jeans, black suede New Balance
shoes, a beaded necklace and a headband.
While she is not a danger to others, she is dependent on medication as part
of her treatment plan. Without access to that medication, she may
inadvertently put her own safety and well-being at risk.
Anyone seeing Marijke or having information about her whereabouts is asked
to call the St. Paul Police Department at 651-291-1111 (its non-emergent
number) right away.
