What the record says

Matney was last seen in Bristol, Tennessee on April 28, 2002. He was outside Confetti's Sports Bar in the 3200 block of West State Street. The establishment is off of Exit 74-B along Interstate 81. Witnesses told authorities that Matney made a call from the bar's pay phone, then sat inside his 1991 Ford Ranger truck in the parking lot, talking to an unidentified person in another truck. He has never been heard from…
