In the late summer of 2023, concern began to grow for 42-year-old Jason Alan Griffith. He had last been in contact with anyone on September 6, 2023, and was considered missing from Cooperstown, New York. Prior to this, on September 1st, Jason had departed from Albany, New York, on a dark green bicycle. His plan was to travel to the village of Cooperstown. At the time of his disappearance, he was carrying a blue backpack.
Jason is described as a white male, standing 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing approximately 190 pounds. He has brown hair and hazel eyes. A notable characteristic is a black birthmark located on the back of his head. Adding to the uncertainty of his intended path, Jason had mentioned the possibility of traveling to Herkimer, though he reportedly had no definite plan to do so.
The Albany Police Department is handling the investigation into Jason's disappearance. His case has been entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. Despite the passage of time since he was last seen, his case remains an active missing person investigation. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unsettling, given that he set out on a bicycle trip with a somewhat vague destination and then ceased all communication. The overview of the case begins with his departure from Albany on September 1st, with his last contact being on September 6th while he was believed to be in or heading towards Cooperstown, and has since expanded to include the possibility of him having traveled to Herkimer.Last Seen: Sep 6, 2023
