Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP162059)
In the spring of 2026, a sense of unease settled over a family when they lost contact with 26-year-old Matthew Alejandro Colvin Rodriguez. A resident of Los Angeles, California, Matthew was a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, standing at a height of five feet eight inches and weighing approximately 160 pounds. His appearance was distinguished by several tattoos, including various designs on his arms, a triangle on an unspecified arm, and a depiction of serpents, also on an unknown arm.
The last known communication from Matthew to his family occurred on March 25, 2026, a day that would mark the beginning of a prolonged period of uncertainty and concern for his loved ones.
As days turned into weeks with no word from Matthew, the Los Angeles Police Department's Adult Missing Persons Unit was alerted to his disappearance, and an official investigation was launched on April 8, 2026. The circumstances surrounding his last contact were sparse, with official reports simply stating that he had been in touch with his family on that late March day and his whereabouts had been unknown ever since. His family, left with unanswered questions, provided what details they could to aid in the search, including a photograph of Matthew in the hopes that public awareness could lead to his safe return. The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as case number MP162059 to broaden the reach of the search efforts.
The investigation into Matthew's disappearance continued, with law enforcement and his family holding onto hope for a positive outcome. Information regarding what he was last seen wearing or if he had any mode of transportation was not publicly available, leaving a void in the timeline of his last known movements. The case remained an active and open investigation, a painful reality for those who knew and cared for Matthew. This synopsis encapsulates the known details of his disappearance, a narrative pieced together from the official information released in the hope of bringing him home. The lack of public leads and the open-ended nature of the circumstances surrounding his last contact created a difficult and ongoing situation for his family and the investigators working on his case.Last Seen: Mar 25, 2026
