In the late summer of 2024, concern grew for 62-year-old Matthew David MacDonald, a male resident of Wasilla, Alaska. The last confirmed contact with him was on September 29, 2024. The Alaska State Troopers had been in touch with him on August 31, 2024, and a family member had spoken with him by phone sometime in the middle to latter part of September. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being 6 feet tall, weighing 190 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He has several identifying scars on his chest, left arm, and left shoulder. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance were uncertain, and his direction of travel was unknown. However, he had mentioned the possibility of hitchhiking to Fairbanks. He did not own a vehicle. The Alaska Department of Public Safety's Missing Persons Clearinghouse became involved in the case, working with law enforcement to investigate his disappearance. His information was entered into national missing persons databases to aid in the search. The investigation into his whereabouts continued, with law enforcement and the community hoping for a positive outcome. Ultimately, Matthew MacDonald was located and is no longer considered a missing person. While the specific details and date of his recovery are not widely publicized, the case is now considered closed. His reappearance brought an end to the period of uncertainty for his family and friends.
