(KAIR)--A man, missing since early this year, remains listed as a missing person by the Brown County Sheriff’s Office.

In a release issued Friday, Brown County Sheriff John Merchant said it’s hoped that raising attention to the case will help reconnect Matthew “Mattdog” Wayne Ferris with his family.

Merchant said that while the address and location of the 36-year-old Ferris is unknown, it’s possible he may be in Wyandotte County, Kansas or Saint Joseph, Missouri.

Ferris is described as a 5’10” white man, weighing 180 pounds and balding. He is known to have a shaved head or a goatee.
