Joseph Francis Matons, 39, was last seen in Staten Island on May 14, 2023. His family describes him as responsible and dependable, and his failure to return home or make contact that day was out of character, prompting a missing person report to the New York City Police Department.

Investigators from the NYPD Missing Persons Squad have interviewed family, friends, and neighbors, reviewed surveillance footage from locations he frequented, and examined phone records, but so far no significant leads or indications of foul play have emerged. Joseph’s family has distributed missing person flyers and made public appeals as the search continues.

Anyone who saw Joseph on or after May 14, 2023, or who has information about his movements is asked to contact the NYPD Missing Persons Squad.
