Patrick Maurice Boland, 43, was found fatally stabbed in the chest near the lake in Piedmont Park in Atlanta in the early hours of May 28, 2009. Investigators initially considered robbery because his white Toyota Sequoia was missing from his home; the vehicle was recovered by police the next day, and the motive picture shifted as detectives pursued other lines.

Authorities later investigated whether his death was connected to a personal encounter. The spot where his body was found was described as a cruising area, and Boland’s sister said she believed he had left home abruptly to meet someone in the park; the identity of that person has not been made public. No suspects have been publicly named and the case remained unsolved as of the latest details available.

Anyone who knew Patrick, saw him in late May 2009, or has information about meetings in that area of Piedmont Park is asked to come forward.
