Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP149034)
The disappearance of Alervis Mateo, a 31-year-old man from Perth Amboy, New Jersey, caused considerable concern for his family and community. His family last saw him on July 11, 2025, at about 3:15 in the afternoon in the area of Paderewski Avenue in his hometown. At the time he was last seen by his loved ones, he was described as being approximately 5-foot-9 inches tall and weighing around 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
The situation was distressing for his family, who were left without answers as to his whereabouts and well-being.
Adding to the complexity of the case, it was learned that a day after his family's last sighting, on July 12, 2025, law enforcement in Pennsylvania made contact with Mr. Mateo. During this encounter, he reportedly indicated that he was traveling by bus with the destination of Columbus, Ohio. At the time of his disappearance, he was believed to be wearing a navy long-sleeve shirt, beige pants, and black loafers. Following this interaction in Pennsylvania, there were no further confirmed sightings or communications, which led his concerned family to officially report him as a missing person to the Perth Amboy Police Department on July 14, 2025.
Thankfully, the search for Alervis Mateo has concluded, and he has been located and is alive. The circumstances surrounding his recovery and where he was found have not been made public, as is common in such cases to protect the privacy of the individual and their family. The overview of this case reflects a period of uncertainty and worry that began with a local disappearance in Perth Amboy, extended with information about his potential travel to Ohio, and ultimately ended with the positive outcome of him being found safe.Last Seen: Jul 12, 2025
