In the summer of 2023, concern grew for the well-being of a 28-year-old man, Mathew Tapiwa Mangeya, in Alberta. His family and friends were left with pressing questions after he was last seen in the early morning hours of July 13, 2023. Mathew had been at the University of Alberta Emergency room, and at approximately 1:52 a.m., he departed the facility. From that point, the direction he went was unknown, and no one familiar with him reported seeing him afterward. At the time he was last seen, he was wearing a red t-shirt, light blue jeans that had a noticeable hole in the left knee, and white shoes. A hospital bracelet was still on his left wrist, a small detail in a larger picture that would soon become a public appeal for information. Mathew is described as being 5'6" tall and weighing around 126 pounds. Those who know him expressed that his sudden disappearance was entirely out of character, amplifying the worry surrounding his absence. This uncharacteristic silence prompted his family and the police to become concerned for his well-being. Mathew was known to sometimes take on temporary construction work in and around the city. He was also a frequent user of public transportation, including the transit and LRT systems, and was known to visit local bars and pubs. These details provided avenues of inquiry, yet his whereabouts remained a mystery. The Edmonton Police Service became involved, and a public appeal was made for any information regarding Mathew's location. The case was shared in an effort to reach anyone who might have seen him or had any knowledge, no matter how insignificant it might seem, about his movements after leaving the hospital. His family was left waiting for answers, holding onto hope that someone would come forward with information that could help bring him home. The overview of the case begins with a young man leaving a hospital in the middle of the night and seemingly vanishing, his disappearance a stark contrast to his usual habits and a source of deep concern for his loved ones and the authorities working to find him.
