Matthew Joel Finocchio, a 34-year-old Army veteran, was last seen February 14, 2021, in Wildomar, California. He lived in Manteca but had been seen in Wildomar and eastern Ventura County, including Bell Canyon. Authorities list him as endangered missing and say he may have been confused because of severe post-traumatic stress disorder related to his military service, creating concern he could need medical attention.

At the time he went missing, Finocchio was believed to be driving a black 2019 Ford Mustang with license plate 8UOK069 and the word Mufasa on the windshield, a reference to his dog. Despite searches and public appeals, few leads have emerged and family, friends, and the community have renewed pleas for information.

If anyone has information about Matthew’s whereabouts, contact the Manteca Police Department.
