Troy police are seeking information about a 55-year-old man who has been missing since Friday night.
Patrick Joseph Mikes is reported to have left his home on Friday around 5:30 p.m. on a bike ride. He was reported missing around 10:50 a.m. Sunday by two of his sons — 16 and 21 years of age.
Mikes, an avid bicyclist, was last seen leaving his home in the 2000 block of Homewood Street, near Long Lake and Adams in Troy. He was wearing a yellow shirt and black spandex shorts and was riding a black and red Cannondale Super 6 road bicycle.
Troy Police Capt. Bob Redmond said there were signs of a struggle at the home.
Investigators are in the process of piecing that evidence together in an effort to determine if this assault is related to Mr. Mikes’ disappearance,” Redmond said.
One person is in custody and being questioned, but no charges have been filed, and police are unable to release any additional information about that person.
“It would be premature to indicate that we are focusing on any one individual as a suspect at this juncture, as the investigation is ongoing,” a press release states.
Mikes is a white man, about 6 feet tall and 170 pounds, with short gray hair. His bicycle is also missing.
Redmond was unable to provide much information, but did say that police are seeking any information at all that anyone might have about Mikes.
“We are seeking information from anyone who may be aware of Mr. Mikes’ bike routes or general routines, as well as locations he might frequent,” Redmond said. “In addition, anyone who might have any information about his associates, information as to why someone might want to hurt him, or anyone who may have had recent contact with him, should contact the Troy Police Department at 248-524-3477.”
Media members asked Redmond several questions, but he said he could not answer most of them. He could not comment on any history of police activity at the house, what the house was like when police arrived or whether Mikes had gone missing before. He also said he could not comment when asked whether either of Mikes’ sons were the person in custody.
Mikes’ online resume listed his areas of expertise as financial reporting and analysis, and budgeting and forecasting.
Between 2007-09, he worked at Huron Consulting Group as a project consultant and he also once worked at Tower Automotive.
Mikes has a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Chicago and a bachelor’s from the University of Notre Dame.
