On Tuesday afternoon, the body of 60-year-old Stanley Kotowski, who was on vacation, was located under a residence on Hilton Head Island. He had been reported missing on August 16 after leaving his family&#8217;s rental property in Sea Pines Resort, which is just four doors away from where he was found.<\/p>\n<p>According to WJCL-TV, Kotowski left the vacation home that Friday morning without shoes or any form of identification and may have been experiencing mental or psychological distress at that time. His wife, Jackie Kotowski, shared with WJCL that he &#8220;just walked out the door&#8221; and had been suffering from severe insomnia for about a month. She noted that while he did not have dementia, his anxiety had escalated to paranoia.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities were alerted an hour after he went missing. A police report revealed further details about Kotowski&#8217;s mental state prior to his departure; Jackie mentioned her husband believed Sea Pines was a &#8220;set up&#8221; and felt as though people were watching him. Following his disappearance, the family urged community members to help locate him due to their concerns for his safety.<\/p>\n<p>His son Zachary expressed similar fears as search efforts intensified with drones, K9 units, and helicopters deployed in hopes of finding him alive. The Beaufort County Sheriff\u2019s Office issued an appeal for public assistance in locating Stanley Kotowski shortly after he went missing.<\/p>\n<p>The search ended nearly two weeks later when a security guard noticed an unpleasant odor near one of the homes; this led to the discovery of Kotowski&#8217;s body in a crawl space beneath it.
