Henry Borynski had a rather colorful life even before he became a great unsolved mystery. Born in a rural village in Poland in 1910, he went on to become a Roman Catholic priest in 1938 before shortly after escaping from the then German-occupied Poland in 1940. He settled in Bradford, in Yorkshire, England, where he first served with the Polish Second Corps in 1946 and went on to became Roman Catholic chaplain to the Polish community there, replacing a Father Boleslaw Martynellis. At the time there were about 6,000 refugees from Poland living in Bradford, the largest Polish emigre community in the North of England, and besides his usual priestly duties Borynski became well-known for his firebrand anti-communist sermons, protesting heavily against alleged Soviet activities and spies in Bradford in 1952, with rumors flying at the time that the Soviet Embassy was secretly infiltrating the Polish community and trying to pressure them into returning to their own country. It is unknown just how much these activist activities would play into what happened next, but a strange series of events was about to unfold that would lead into a great unsolved vanishing.
