Mato Woistinma Dow was 25 when he went missing from Redwood Falls, Minnesota, on October 13, 2017. He was last seen leaving his sister’s apartment around midnight on South Minnesota Street wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, long gray basketball shorts, and dark-colored shoes. Two days earlier he made a final Facebook post; after October 13 there has been no confirmed contact.

The Redwood Falls Police Department and the Lower Sioux Police Department have both been involved in the search. Family and the Lower Sioux community have campaigned for awareness of Mato and other missing Indigenous people, and they continue outreach via social media and community events. Despite searches and investigations, few new details have emerged and the case is described as active but cold.

If anyone saw Mato on or after October 13, 2017, or has information that might explain his disappearance, please share what is known with the investigating agencies.
