In the community of Buckhannon, West Virginia, a lingering concern surrounds the disappearance of Matthew Aaron Werry. A 47-year-old male at the time, he was last seen on April 24, 2025. Matthew is described as a white male, standing 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing approximately 160 pounds. He has brown eyes and several distinct tattoos along his arms and hands. His last known location was in Upshur County, an area he was known to frequent.
The official investigation into his whereabouts began more than a year after his last known contact, when his biological son filed a missing person report with the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department on May 26, 2026. According to the report, his son had not personally seen his father for several years, a fact that underscores the deep concern for his welfare. A social media post from someone identifying as his son indicated that he had been unable to make contact with his father for over a year and was very worried. This extended period without communication from Matthew is what ultimately prompted the official report and the subsequent police investigation.
The Harrison County Sheriff's Office is actively investigating Matthew Werry's disappearance and has appealed to the public for assistance in locating him. Authorities have not publicly released additional details regarding the specific circumstances under which he went missing, what he might have been wearing, or if he had access to transportation. The case remains an open and active investigation, marked by a troubling lack of information and a family's search for answers. Law enforcement encourages anyone who might have information about Matthew Werry's whereabouts to contact the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office.Last Seen: Apr 24, 2025
