Paul Heiner Swenson, 30, was last seen at approximately 3 p.m. at his home, police said in a news release, and he may have been suffering from a medical condition just prior to leaving.

The vehicle Swenson was driving, a black, four-door, 2016 BMW X6, was found unoccupied early Friday morning near Parkview Elementary, 970 Emery St., in Salt Lake City. Police said the vehicle was found “under suspicious circumstances,” but did not specify what those circumstances were.
