The Sacramento Police Department has issued a call for public assistance in their search for Rocky Mathews, a 71-year-old man who has been classified as an at-risk missing person due to medical conditions. In a Facebook post of Sacramento Police Department, the department described Mathews as being 5'8" in height, weighing 160 lbs, with gray hair and brown eyes. The last time he was seen was on July 19, around 10 a.m. near Bruceville Rd and Alpine Frost Dr in Sacramento.
Mathews was reportedly wearing a distinctive outfit when he was last spotted, consisting of a red and black hat, a red and black flannel, black undershirt, above-the-knee Dickies-style shorts, white socks pulled up, and black 49er gloves. He was also using a black cane, details provided by the Facebook post from the Sacramento Police Department. The department has released a photo of Rocky Mathews to aid in his identification, urging anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts to come forward.
The plea from the Sacramento Police comes as communities have increasingly relied on social media to spread word of missing persons, tapping into the collective reach of online networks. While Mathews is at risk due to unspecified medical conditions, the police have not provided further details on these conditions. Highlighting the potential severity of Mathews' situation, the police stressed the importance of timely assistance from the public.
