Matthew Wayne Griggs, 46, disappeared from Trinidad, Colorado after a final confirmed contact with his mother on May 22, 2019. That call came after he had been released from a medical facility in Trinidad. There is a report he may have been at a gathering in the 600 block of Clark Avenue in late May where an altercation occurred; after that possible sighting his whereabouts became unknown. The disappearance was not reported to the Las Animas County Sheriff’s Office until June 26, 2019.

At the time he vanished Matthew was described as a white male, 5 feet 7 inches, about 140 to 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, possible light facial hair, and a tattoo on his right upper arm. Investigators say he typically traveled on foot and that the search has been pursued nationwide. The Las Animas County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate and is asking anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Matthew’s movements in Trinidad in late May 2019 or recalls the gathering on Clark Avenue, please share information with investigators.
