Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP98794)
William Viera was 54 years old when he was last known to have contact with others on November 23, 2022, in Hartford, Connecticut. He is listed as a Hispanic / Latino male with black hair and brown eyes, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and 185 pounds. The information made public about his disappearance was limited and careful: his last known contact was in November 2022, and his last known location was recorded in Hartford, in Hartford County.
In the absence of detailed circumstances, the case began with uncertainty rather than a clear account of where he was going, who he may have been with, or what may have happened after that last contact.
The case was entered into NamUs as Missing Person case MP98794, a national database used to help law enforcement, medical examiners, coroners, investigators, families, and the public work toward resolving missing, unidentified, and unclaimed person cases. NamUs is described by the National Institute of Justice as a central database and support program for these kinds of cases, and it provides a structured place for key details such as demographics, last known location, physical description, photographs, and investigating agency information to be preserved and shared. William’s NamUs record reflected that the Plainville Police Department was the investigating agency, with agency case number 22-25032, and that the matter was reported to police on December 28, 2022.
For those who cared about William, the sparse public details would have made the waiting especially difficult. There were no public clothing details, transportation details, distinctive physical features, or detailed notes explaining the circumstances of his disappearance in the available case information. What remained was the essential human fact of a man who had last been connected to Hartford in late November 2022 and then became the subject of a missing person record, leaving family, friends, and investigators to rely on the few confirmed identifiers that could help distinguish him and support any effort to locate him.
The attached case data indicates that William Viera’s case resolution status is Alive, meaning he was found alive and the matter is no longer an active missing persons case. The exact date he was found is not stated in the available information, so the resolution is best understood in broad terms: after being reported missing following last known contact in Hartford on November 23, 2022, William was later located alive. The overview of the case is therefore one of limited public circumstances, a formal NamUs record, investigation by the Plainville Police Department, and a compassionate resolution: William Viera, a 54-year-old man missing from Hartford County, Connecticut, was ultimately found alive, bringing an end to the active missing person case even though the public record does not provide the full story of where he had been or when exactly he was located.Last Seen: Nov 23, 2022
