Missing Friendswood man returned home

A local man reported missing by family members has returned home. Matthew Tomko, 44, who was reported missing by his brother, returned home after a week-long family hiatus. Tomko was reported missing on January 18^th and had not been seen by family members since January 15^th. Investigators used many resources, including social media as a valuable source of information in the police investigation to learn about the missing person’s whereabouts. Tomko ignored attempts by family, friends, and police to contact him and check his welfare. This type of activity strains police resources since it was believed that Tomko may be in distress.
