Man calls his wife to say he was kidnapped
SHOREVIEW, Minn. (AP) -- Ramsey County authorities are trying to find a Shoreview man who told his wife he'd been kidnapped.

A crime alert from the Department of Public Safety says 29-year-old Matthew William Anderson was last seen Friday afternoon at his job in Roseville. He phoned his wife Friday evening and said two men had kidnapped him, and that he thought he was in Iowa.

His wife, Amber Anderson, told the St. Paul Pioneer Press he spoke only for 32 seconds and sounded very scared. He also texted her and said he loved her.

His sister, Emily Samarzia, of Duluth, told the Duluth News Tribune Anderson has no enemies, and they have no idea why he would go missing.

He drives a maroon 2001 Pontiac Montana van with Minnesota license plate number 922 DUZ.

Investigators say she told the BCA that her husband called her to say he had been kidnapped, and may possibly be in Iowa. Police say his cell phone signal indicated he was actually near Wisconsin Dells, WI.

maybe he was dialing from a trunk of a car and didn't know where he was just that he was in route some where for hours?

Wisconsin Dells, WI would be in route toward Chicago..but still why?

Investigators with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office say Matthew Anderson withdrew $1,000 in cash from a Roseville bank at approximately 1 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 17.

Investigators believe that he was alone at the time. Anderson was last seen a half hour later by staff at the Rosewood Village Apartments.

Missing Shoreview man found in Vegas
Despite his claim, police say he was not kidnapped

A Shoreview man who disappeared last week after telling his wife he'd been kidnapped was found safe Friday in Las Vegas, Nev.

Authorities said Matthew William Anderson, 29, had not been abducted.

Las Vegas police said the missing man was hospitalized after he was found about 6 a.m. in a construction area for a new office building about a mile west of downtown.

Police declined to comment on why Anderson was taken to a hospital and whether he was alone or had transportation.

But the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department, which is handling the case, said he was in "good medical condition."

No criminal charges have been filed against Anderson, said sheriff's office spokeswoman Holli Drinkwine.

There was no false report to police because Anderson hadn't called police and his family had reported him missing because they believed he was in danger, she said.

He left Minnesota "on his volition and traveled to Nevada via Chicago," according to a sheriff's office news release.

Nobody answered the phone at Anderson's home Friday evening.

But his father, William Anderson, said, "I don't know anything more than Matthew is alive; he is physically OK. He's a little bruised ... a little worse for wear."

William Anderson said his son's wife, two brothers and "a few other people" were bringing him home, though he said he did not know where Anderson was Friday evening.

"There have been a lot of people praying for him, a lot of people with nothing but
optimism and positive vibes, and ... Matthew is the same way," his father said.
Anderson withdrew $1,000 from a Roseville bank a half-hour before he was last seen Sept. 17, the sheriff's office said this week. He appeared to be alone at the time.
