The Disappearance of Patrick McIntyre

Patrick McIntyre was last seen in Portsmouth, a community in Newport County, Rhode Island, on January 4, 2023. The precise location of his final confirmed sighting and details about who last saw him have not been publicly disclosed in the sources reviewed.

Concern reportedly developed after friends and family members were unable to reach McIntyre. Their telephone calls and text messages went unanswered throughout the year. When another call was attempted in December 2023, the phone was reportedly no longer operating or in service.

The available public summaries do not state whether McIntyre left Portsmouth voluntarily, planned to travel, experienced a medical emergency or encountered another person before disappearing. No verified crime scene, evidence of foul play or confirmed homicide classification has been publicly announced.

Because so few circumstances have been released, even seemingly minor information could be important. Anyone who saw McIntyre around January 4, 2023, communicated with him shortly before or after that date, or has information about his transportation, telephone activity or intended destination should contact investigators rather than posting a possible lead publicly.

Physical Description

At the time he disappeared, McIntyre was reported to be:

  1. 46 years old
  2. Approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall
  3. Approximately 140 pounds
  4. A man with black hair and brown eyes

Public listings do not consistently provide verified information about the clothing he was wearing when last seen or any scars, tattoos, medical conditions or other distinctive characteristics.

Latest Publicly Available Investigation Information

A public missing-person listing for McIntyre was created in April 2024, more than a year after his last known sighting. The Rhode Island directory maintained by Missing People in America showed his entry as updated on April 20, 2025. The entry continued to list Portsmouth as the place from which he disappeared and January 4, 2023, as the last-seen date.

A review of publicly accessible police pages, missing-person directories and indexed reports through July 22, 2026, did not locate a subsequent official announcement stating that McIntyre had been found. No publicly confirmed arrest, suspect, criminal charge or determination of foul play was identified.

This does not necessarily mean that no investigative work has occurred. Law-enforcement agencies frequently withhold witness statements, telephone records, surveillance findings and other evidence while a missing-person investigation remains active. It means only that no substantial new investigative development was found in the public sources reviewed.

The Portsmouth Police Detective Division handles general and criminal investigations. Its publicly listed general telephone number is 401-683-0994, while the department’s main 24-hour number is 401-683-0300.

Potential witnesses should preserve original messages, photographs, videos, receipts or other records. Dates and times should be provided as accurately as possible. Information involving an immediate threat or emergency should be reported by calling 911.
