Matthew Colter, 46, of Orangeburg, South Carolina, was last seen the evening of November 17, 2003, at his home on Erika Road. His sister, the last person to see him, said he was acting strangely; he lived with schizophrenia and did not have his medication. The following day she returned and found the back door unlocked with pry marks and signs of disturbance inside the house, including damaged appliances, but no trace of Matthew.

Search efforts included bloodhounds and aerial support and several reported local sightings in the days after his disappearance, but none were confirmed. His description at the time: Black male, 6 feet tall, about 160 pounds, black hair, brown eyes, and in need of eyeglasses. The condition of the home prompted concern that foul play may have been involved, and the investigation remains open.

Does anyone who lived in Orangeburg in 2003 remember seeing Matthew or noticing suspicious activity on Erika Road around November 17–18?
