Summary based on 2 sources
On May 30, 2008, 35-year-old Matthew Stephen Wood was last seen in Greenwich, New York. He left a note for his parents stating that he was going to Saratoga, New York, to do some shopping and possibly have lunch with a friend. The note indicated that he would be back later that day, but he was never seen or heard from again. His parents later found his car in the parking lot of a Walmart in Wilton, New York.

Wood's parents reported him missing on June 6, 2008. They mentioned to authorities that while he had taken short trips by himself in the past, he had never been gone for such an extended period without any contact. At the time of his disappearance, Wood was described as being 6'1" tall and weighing between 180 and 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a Guinness t-shirt, jeans, sneakers, a green baseball cap, and sunglasses. He has several distinctive tattoos, including a map of Ireland on his right forearm and Led Zeppelin band members on his left forearm.

The investigation into Matthew Wood's disappearance was handled by the Washington County Sheriff's Office. Despite their efforts, few details have been made available to the public regarding the case. Information from the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System indicates that Wood vanished from his home on May 29, 2008, a day earlier than the date provided in the note. The case remains unsolved, and his friends and family continue to await answers.
