‘She was an angel’: Pittsburgh woman helps reunite missing Stevens Point man with family

Someone had stolen Dyken’s wallet, including his money and ID. Pawlak said she got to talk with her son when the police officer called her and put the call on speaker phone. Dyken said he was ready to come home, Pawlak said.

The woman was able to get Dyken out of a dangerous situation in the city, Pawlak said. She stayed with him, bought him a plane ticket home, worked with Dyken’s parents to make sure he had the documents he needed to fly home, bought him food and put him in a hotel for the night. Pawlak said when the woman wasn’t with him, she stayed nearby to keep an eye on him to make sure he was safe. She returned Friday morning to take Dyken to the airport.

As of Friday afternoon, Dyken was on a plane and on his way home.
