Father Borynski was a Roman Catholic priest and chaplain to a 1,500 member community of mostly Polish exiles in the City of Bradford. He was a well known anticommunist who routinely gave speeches and sermons rallying against the communism, particularly the communist controlled government in Poland.
Shortly before 19.00 on July 13, 1953, he received a telephone call at his rectory in Little Horton Lane where he lived. His housekeeper who answered the phone, described the caller as having a Polish accent. Father Borynski spoke briefly to the caller in hushed tones, then picked up his hat and coat and left. He was last seen standing on a street corner as if waiting for someone. That was the last confirmed sighting of him. He left behind all his belongings.
Father Borynski was declared dead in 1959.
