Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP108329)
In the late summer of 2022, a sense of concern began to grow in a Rahway, New Jersey community. On August 28th, a 15-year-old boy named Roberto Chamatum was last seen. At the time of his disappearance, Roberto was described as a Hispanic male, standing between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall, and weighing between 110 and 125 pounds. He had black hair and brown eyes.
The circumstances surrounding his last known whereabouts were unclear, leaving his family and friends in a state of uncertainty and worry. As the days turned into weeks, and then months, the lack of information about Roberto’s location only deepened the distress of those who cared for him.
The initial report of his disappearance was filed the day after he was last seen, prompting an investigation into his whereabouts. Details regarding what he was wearing at the time he went missing or any personal items he may have had with him were not widely circulated, making the search more challenging for law enforcement and the public. The investigation was handled by the Colorado Springs Police Department, despite him being last seen in New Jersey, adding a layer of complexity to the case. The lack of public leads and the scarcity of information created a difficult situation for everyone involved in the search for the young man.
Fortunately, after a period of uncertainty, it was reported that Roberto Chamatum had been found alive. While the news of his safe recovery brought immense relief, the specific details surrounding when and where he was located, and the circumstances of his time away, have not been publicly disclosed. This resolution, while positive, leaves many questions unanswered for the community that followed his case. The overview of this case is one of a teenager who vanished, prompting a lengthy period of concern, which ultimately concluded with the positive outcome of him being found safe.Last Seen: Aug 28, 2022
