Matthew Allan Welcher, a 46-year-old man from St. Petersburg, Florida, was last seen on March 9, 2010. His case presents a series of unusual circumstances. Welcher's family had last heard from him in August 2009, several months before he was last confirmed to have been in contact with law enforcement in March 2010. After that interaction, he vanished without a trace.
Strangely, his disappearance was not officially reported until June 14, 2022—over a decade later—leaving a significant gap in the investigation timeline.
Welcher was 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed approximately 190 pounds. He had brown hair, blue eyes, and wore eyeglasses. He also had a distinctive tattoo on his right hand and sported a mustache at the time he disappeared. Very little information is available about what may have led to his disappearance, and no new leads have emerged since his case was reported.
Authorities are continuing to investigate, but the long delay in reporting his disappearance and the lack of information have made the case difficult to advance. His case is still open, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the St. Petersburg Police Department.Last Seen: Mar 9, 2010
