Matthew Penn, 62, disappeared from the Chicago area in the spring of 2020 and has not been heard from since. Reports differ on his last confirmed sighting: one account places him on March 7, 2020, near the 2200 block of West Rosemont Avenue in Chicago, while another places him on May 3, 2020, at a Mariano’s on West Touhy Avenue in Skokie. That discrepancy has complicated efforts to establish a clear timeline.

Matthew, also known as Matt, is a white male with brown hair and hazel eyes, five feet, ten inches tall, and about 185 to 195 pounds. He has a large compass tattoo on his back between his shoulder blades. He was believed to be driving a black 2009 Nissan Altima with red interior and Illinois plate HBJ59; that car was found months later parked in the 7000 block of North Ridge Boulevard in Rogers Park, not far from his apartment. A police inspection turned up no signs of criminal activity. There has been no financial activity or contact with family or friends since he went missing.

The case remains an active missing person investigation with few leads. If anyone knew Matthew, saw him in the locations or on the dates mentioned, or has information about the Altima, please come forward to help fill in the gaps.
