On August 4 rescuers desperately freeing Katie Lenz from her mangled car at an accident site in Missouri were astonished when a priest who had come to offer comfort suddenly seemed to disappear. Now a priest whose face closely matches that of that of an artists’ impression of the mystery man has come forward and identified himself as the priest who stopped to reassure the rescuers and give comfort to the woman trapped in the damaged car. According to a press release from the Diocese of Jefferson City, he is Father Patrick Dowling, a Diocesan Priest.
