Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP99544) and 5 other sources
Matthew J. Cooley, a 27-year-old man who had recently relocated to Louisville, Kentucky, with friends, was last seen on November 1, 2022. He vanished from a residence in the 7100 block of Bronner Circle. Following his disappearance, friends and family have not had any communication with him. Concerns for his well-being were heightened due to the fact that he was new to the Louisville area and his loved ones reported that he had been experiencing depression prior to his disappearance.

Authorities were alerted to Matthew's disappearance, and the Louisville Metro Police Department's Missing Person Unit opened an investigation. A public call for assistance was made, asking anyone with information regarding his whereabouts to come forward. He is described as a white male, standing approximately 6 feet 1 inch to 6 feet 2 inches tall, and weighing between 185 and 190 pounds. He has blond hair and green eyes. Distinguishing features include a scar on the right side of his chest, another scar on the left side of his abdomen, and a tattoo of a religious cross on his right forearm.

The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear. He left the residence on Bronner Circle and has not been seen or heard from since. The lack of contact has been deeply troubling for his friends and family, who have been anxiously awaiting any news of his whereabouts. The investigation into his disappearance is ongoing as those who know and care for him continue to hope for his safe return. The case serves as a somber reminder of the anguish experienced by families of missing individuals, left with unanswered questions and a void that cannot be filled.
