MSP AND PARTNER AGENCIES SEARCHING FOR MISSING MAN

Members of the Massachusetts State Police Marine Unit and Underwater Recovery Unit today searched the Sudbury Reservoir in Southborough for a missing man. The search did not result in locating the man, Jeffery Allard, 57, or any evidence related to his disappearance.

Today’s mission marked the third day that State Police have assisted Marlborough Police in the search for Mr. Allard (see attached photo), who is from Ware. The State Police Air Wing and K9 Unit assisted in the search earlier this week in the Farm Road area where the reservoir is located.

State Police divers and Marine Unit personnel were assisted in today’s search by the Boston Fire Department Dive Team, Massachusetts Environmental Police, and the Marlborough Police and Fire Departments. Today was the third day the water search; the water search will not resume Monday unless relevant new information is developed.

Mr. Allard reportedly was last seen seen several days ago after leaving a medical facility in Marlborough.

Anyone who may have seen Mr. Allard or has information about him should call 911 or Marlborough Police at (508) 485-1212.

'He’s just a good dude': Missing Ware man Jeffrey Allard's son worried for dad

The son of Ware man Jeffrey Allard said his father suffers from extreme depression and anxiety and worries about his disappearance.

...
Kevin Allard, 31, told MassLive his dad went to the hospital last Sunday morning seeking psychiatric care, at the request of Jeffrey Allard’s wife. He said he thinks his father is extremely depressed and suffering from anxiety.

“He was going to get admitted to the psychiatric ward... the emergency department,” Kevin Allard said Monday. “They didn’t accept him because there was a COVID outbreak, so he had left the hospital and is now missing.”

As arctic blast looms, search continues for man who went missing from Marlborough hospital

Jeffrey Allard, 57, of Ware, was last seen on Jan. 21, when he left the hospital on his own after authorities had sent him there under a Section 12.

www.metrowestdailynews.com

MARLBOROUGH — The search for a man who was last seen leaving UMass Memorial-Health Marlborough Hospital almost two weeks ago is continuing as a blast of dangerously cold weather throughout the region looms.

Despite an extensive search — more than two dozen police dog search teams were scouring the woods on Wednesday — authorities have not found Jeffrey Allard, 57, Marlborough police spokesman Sgt. Zachary Attaway said.

***********
Allard's daughter, Larissa Ostiguy, told MassLive that authorities found a duffel bag that Allard had been seen with at the hospital in the woods on Cook Lane in Marlborough. The bag contained Allard's cellphone, blue jeans and discharges from the Marlborough hospital.

***********
Forecasters say dangerously cold weather will move into the region Friday night into Saturday. During the early morning hours on Saturday, temperatures are expected to drop below zero.

I was just looking at google maps at the general area he supposedly went missing… I saw this spot on the map labeled as “Jeffrey’s bench”. The about says it’s a “memorial”. I live near here and have never seen this before. Does anyone know what this is?

I can't get into this article (paywall) but the headline reads:

Hospital discharge papers for missing Ware man Jeffrey Allard found in duffel bag​

Hospital discharge papers for missing Ware father found in duffel bag

Police found hospital discharge papers for missing Ware father Jeffrey Allard, who was admitted for psychiatric help. Family members say he shouldn't have been allowed to leave the hospital.

www.masslive.com

I wonder if they found the duffle bag in that area and that's why they are concentrated there?

That is SO maddening. SO frustrating. SO wrong.

Oh man, this is literally a mile from my house.

I live in an adjacent town, and just saw this here on this forum. I don't subscribe to any papers, and haven't been watching tv, just reliying on my news feed on my cell. I guess I'm going to start watching tv again. Hoping for the best.

A Ware man left Marlborough Hospital Jan. 21. Authorities are still looking for him

Jeffrey Allard, 57, was taken to the hospital by ambulance but somehow left, even though he was supposed to be there for an evaluation.

I must have missed this one, it gives a little detail of how he got to the hospital in Marlborough.

...
Allard left a program in Westborough that day [Jan 21] and had made his way to the Marlborough Police Department.

Police issued a Section 12, which is used for someone under psychological distress and could be a danger to themselves or others

Amy, I would pass this on to Marlboro police just in case. It looks like it was just added this week. Maybe Jeffrey posted it??

This is very confusing. When someone is under an involuntary hold for psych eval, they have an aide who is supposed to be watching them so they don't leave. How did he leave? An earlier report (linked above) said that he "wasn't accepted" due to a COVID outbreak, but that wouldn't happen either. If this hospital had a COVID outbreak, then they'd look for another psych bed for him, if he met inpatient level of care. That leads me to a few possibilities:

1. He was evaluated and taken off the involuntary hold, allowing him to leave if he wanted before a psych bed was found
2. He was evaluated and involuntary hold was discontinued; he didn't meet inpatient level of care so he was formally discharged, maybe with plans for a day program
3. He was or wasn't evaluated yet, but kept on the involuntary hold either way, and the hospital failed to assign him an aide so he bolted

Regardless of how it unfolded, I hope they find him safe. Very sad story.

Im going to check it out today. I live right around the corner and fish in that area in the summer. I will let you guys know what I find.

As for “one week ago” does that mean it was added one week ago or that I drove by there? My house is literally a minute away.

There’s a trail a lot of people walk down over there as well. Also his phone wasn’t on him at that point (it was found on Cook lane, which is before this) But I suppose anyone could have added it.

I would be surprised if the police didn’t see this. This right where they were searching all last week. Just found it very strange. There are trails all behind the apartment complex as well.

 

[Amy88]

Just took a walk down there. Looks like an open fishing spot. The bench is made out of a tree. Not sure how long it’s been here though.

Amy, that’s so great that you went to check it out. Agreed, it looks like a tree! I was just hopeful I guess! Thanks.
