Matthew Greene Now Missing 49 Days

Nazareth Area High School Principal Alan Davis wanted parents and guardians to know up front before the school year started about missing math teacher Matthew Greene.

In a letter dated Aug. 25, Davis said "it is important we acknowledge the status" of Greene.

Greene, a high school math teacher in the Nazareth Area School District, a Bethlehem resident and a Lehighton High School graduate, was last seen in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. on July 16. Search and rescue attempts are continuing.

Greene's family is posting updates on the Facebook page "Find Matthew Greene," which has topped 11,400 likes. More than $8,000 has been raised for search efforts.

Fans honored Greene by wearing green to Nazareth High School's opening football game Friday.

Davis told parents about Greene's disappearance on a hiking and camping expedition with some friends.

"At this time, we have no new or definitive information to share regarding his status," Davis said.

Davis said that the administration and counseling department are prepared to assist students and staff regarding Greene's disappearance.

He also said that provisions have been made to cover all of Greene's math classes and homeroom by certified and qualified math teachers.

Glasses found were thought to be Greene's but turned out not to be.

Davis said that the school district has been in contact with Greene's family regarding communication of his status to the public.

Police are asking anyone with information about Greene’s whereabouts to call the Mammoth Lakes Police Department at (760) 934-2011 or the Mono County Sheriff’s Office at (760) 932-6549 ext. 7.

"Please keep Mr. Greene and his family in your thoughts," Davis's letter concludes.
