Matthew James Perry, 24, disappeared from Berwyn, Pennsylvania, on January 28, 2011. A trained carpenter, he was staying intermittently at his girlfriend’s apartment in the Chester County town and relied on public transportation, often using the SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale Line. He was described as a white male between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 8 inches, 135 to 150 pounds, with brown hair, very dark brown eyes, sometimes wearing a goatee or full beard and mustache, and a large tattoo of the Virgin Mary on his left forearm. When last seen he was believed to be wearing a green hoodie, a t-shirt, and sneakers.

Perry split his time between suburbs and the city, frequenting Kensington & Allegheny, Frankford, and Center City locations including Suburban Station and the Free Library; he also spent time at the Easttown library near where he was last seen. His family was aware he was struggling with a heroin addiction and had tried to help him. The Cheltenham Township Police Department opened the investigation on February 16, 2011, and his DNA was entered into NamUs for comparison. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear.

If anyone remembers seeing Matthew around Berwyn, the Paoli/Thorndale Line, or the Philadelphia locations named, can you share details that might help his family?
