Matthew Scheer was 26 when he was last seen in the early morning hours of October 3, 2015, in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. His father had taken him to Grand Strand Regional Hospital the day before after Matthew experienced a sudden onset of psychosis. At about 1:30 a.m. Matthew walked out of the hospital wearing a blue t-shirt and black, grey, and white plaid shorts while a hurricane was moving through Horry County. It is believed he may have headed toward the beach near 68th Avenue North.

Matthew, originally from Mays Landing, New Jersey, had worked at Dunes Village Resort for two years and was remembered by family as having a gentle soul and a love of travel, movies, and music. His family later sued the hospital, alleging staff were negligent in allowing him to leave and that a psychiatric consult ordered was not performed; a jury in June 2019 found the inpatient service at fault for his death, and the hospital settled before trial. Matthew’s body has never been recovered and the case remains an active missing person case.

Did anyone in the North Myrtle Beach area see Matthew on or after October 3, 2015, or have information about his movements that night?
