Authorities in Arizona are desperately searching for 28-year-old Matthew Spencer, who disappeared on a cross-country road-trip from Las Vegas to his new home in Houston. Matthew last spoke to his family on August 6th. Matthew is very close with his family, his siblings, and especially his twin
sister, Kara and this is unusual for him to not contact his family.

Over the summer, Matthew decides he wants to turn over a new leaf, and makes a plan to move from California to Houston, Texas. Matthew is known for venturing out and moving to new locations, this time he decides to make the trip in his 2006 Hyundai Tuscon. Matthew doesn’t intend to make the 30-odd hour trip all at once. He plans to stop in Las Vegas to see his sister Kara, then stop in Arizona and New Mexico along the way. Matthew arrives in Las Vegas on August 1st, and stays through August 4th, before continuing to Texas.

Matthew plans to split the rest of the 20-hour drive into several days. On August 5th, Matthew’s car is spotted coming in to Flagstaff, Arizona. On August 6th, Matthew checks in with Kara, telling her he’s arrived in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. The two chat over text until 10:54, Matthew’s last message saying he’s ‘driving in the desert.

August 7th, Matthew does not respond to his sister’s text messages, so after more than 12 hours
without contact, Matthew’s family reports him missing. Authorities find Matthew’s silver 2006
Hyundai Tuscon was last caught on camera entering Flagstaff. Matthew’s Tuscon has not been
located

Matthew is 5’9”, 200 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. Matthew usually has a mustache, and wears glasses. Anyone with information on Matthew, or his silver 2006 Hyundai Tuscon with Washington plate CJM2235, should contact Flagstaff, Arizona police at 928-774-1414.
