Family And Friends Of Missing Washington County Man Demand Action

(WPXI) Friends and family of a missing Washington County man rallied outside of the courthouse today, in front of the District Attorney’s office demanding investigators look further into his disappearance. Matthew McDonald hasn’t been seen in four months, after he was last seen in California Boro on March 9th. Beth Engle Roth, Matthew’s mother, says her son would have reached out by now and never let their family fear the worst. “He wouldn’t do this to us. He would never ever do this to us. Something has happened to him and there are people who know.” The family argues the district attorney’s office and California Boro Police have not done enough to help find McDonald. District Attorney Jason Walsh tells Channel 11 they have followed every lead, filed multiple search warrants, searched homes and cars, including the home and car of the woman last seen with McDonald. Walsh said they’ve uncovered no evidence of a crime. McDonald’s mother disagrees, saying more leads have come in and they want to see more active searching. Investigators say McDonald did have a warrant out for his arrest, which the family acknowledges. But they do not feel it played a factor in his disappearance.
