Missing immigrant from Kyrgyzstan found in New York after 3 weeks of searching

An immigrant from Kyrgyzstan, Kalybek Abyshkaev, was found in New York. He went missing on June 2, and last Friday, June 23, the relatives of the 72-year-old man reported that they managed to find him. Search history told YouTube channel "The Bureau".

On June 2, at 6:00 am, Abyshkaev was discharged from the hospital in Coney Island without informing his relatives. A homeless man was lying with him in the ward, with whom they left the hospital together. After that, no one saw the Kyrgyz citizen. The situation was aggravated by the fact that Kalybek does not know English. So the family was very worried.

“Thanks to the daily searches of our Kyrgyz diaspora, we found our grandfather. Every day we searched from morning to evening, everywhere – in all hospitals, on all streets,” said Anara Asyngulova, Kalybek’s granddaughter. According to her, representatives of the diaspora went out to the city after work and were actively looking for a man.

As a result, Abyshkaev was found at a bus stop in Sheepshead Bay.

“When we found him, he was just sitting at the bus stop. He usually, it turns out, rode buses during the day. And at night he spent the night on benches, went into the yards and people allowed him to spend the night near the house on the street,” Anara said.

According to the granddaughter, her grandfather feels well. He was already put in order after three weeks of vagrancy: bought, shaved, cut, dyed his gray hair.

“Thank God, everything is fine with him. He feels well, and thank God, we found him,” Anara summed up, noting that her relatives do not intend to conflict with the hospital and are just glad that everything ended well.
