RIT student missing since November found safe in New York

Rochester, New York – The recent case of Matthew Grant, a 22-year-old student from the Rochester Institute of Technology who went missing in November 2023, has caused considerable concern and distress. However, there is now a sense of relief, as Matthew has been found safe as of December 12, 2023. This positive outcome is the result of an extensive and coordinated search effort involving multiple agencies and the use of advanced technology.

Matthew’s disappearance initially sparked significant worry within his family and the broader community. Hailing from Onaway, Michigan, Matthew was known to be a nature enthusiast, a dedicated student, and a skilled wrestler. The circumstances of his disappearance were particularly baffling, given his character and usual behavior. He was last seen on November 20, 2023, and the subsequent discovery of his vehicle played a crucial role in his safe recovery.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, in collaboration with Matthew’s family and the local community, was instrumental in the search. The successful outcome was achieved through the effective use of technology, thorough coordination among various law enforcement agencies, and persistent follow-up on every lead.
