The DeKalb County police department is intensifying its search for a 63-year-old man who has been missing since January 9. Matthew Forbes was last known to be on the 3700 block of Lawrenceville Highway in Tucker, as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta. Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing around 200 pounds, Forbes has brown hair and brown eyes, a detail prompting local concern.
Forbes' disappearance, now reaching weeks without any leads, has left the police and the community with more questions than answers. According to WSB-TV, there is currently no information available about what Forbes might have been wearing at the time he went missing, which further complicates the efforts to find him.
Officials are urging anyone with information on Forbes' whereabouts or who might have seen him since January 9 to contact emergency services immediately by calling 911. Additionally, tips can be directed to the DeKalb County Police Department Special Victims Unit at 770-724-7710, as they are working tirelessly to piece together Forbes' last known movements and trace his steps. The absence of clear indications as to Forbes' destination or condition at the time he vanished only heightens the urgency of these appeals.
The community is responding to the situation with growing concerns over Forbes' prolonged absence. If he is noticed on the street, the public should keep in mind the importance of promptly calling 911 to report sightings, ensuring that any potential leads are not pursued by individuals unfamiliar with the investigation. Meanwhile, police are combing through any available surveillance footage and speaking with potential witnesses, although the lack of clues so far has turned the effort into a high-stakes waiting game.
