Gustav Prilepok was a 56-year-old welder with a military background who vanished from his West Bloomfield, Michigan, home in the winter of 1991. The last confirmed sighting was February 7, 1991. Authorities treated the disappearance as suspicious from the start and the investigation quickly focused on family conflict.

Reports say a heated dispute over finances and the stepson’s living arrangements escalated into violence: Gustav allegedly drew a small knife, and his 22-year-old stepson, Jan Borek, struck him on the head with a fire poker. Both Borek and Gustav’s wife, Janea Prilepok, later confessed to involvement and said they hid his remains. Borek was convicted of second-degree murder and Janea of being an accessory; both served prison terms and were deported. Skeletal remains found in Plymouth Township in 2015 were tested and ruled not to be Gustav’s.

Gustav’s body has never been located. Does anyone have information about his possible burial sites or recall relevant activity in West Bloomfield or nearby townships in early 1991?
