Arthur Matthews disappeared from Hartford, Connecticut, in the autumn of 1985. He was 57 when last seen on October 19, 1985.

Arthur was African American, 5 feet 10 inches and about 145 pounds, with black hair, dark eyes, scars on his chest and neck, and slurred speech. He wore prescription glasses with brown frames and a simple gold wedding band and had a cigarette lighter, a holder or case, and a black plastic comb with him when last seen. The Hartford Police Department opened an investigation, but records note the case was hampered by the forensic limitations of the time, with dental records, fingerprints, and DNA not readily available.

His case has been included on national missing persons platforms, but no significant leads have emerged and the trail has long since gone cold. Does anyone have memories of Arthur, his last known whereabouts, or information that could help bring answers to his family?
