Keep searching, family of missing woman asks

SOUTH KINGSTOWN — The husband and children of Adrianne Lynn Matoney – missing since a suspicious fire destroyed their home a week ago – today asked the police and others to continue looking for the 58-year-old Kingston woman.

“We would like to thank the authorities, our friends and the community for their efforts to locate our mother and wife. We hope these efforts will continue until she is found,” the family said through a spokesman, former Attorney General Jim O'Neil, adding, “We are confident you understand our need for privacy during this tragic time.”

Adrianne, the wife of Joseph P. Matoney, a University of Rhode Island accounting professor, went missing Thursday night after a fire destroyed their home at 19 French Rd. Her car was discovered parked and locked on the Sakonnet River Bridge early Friday morning, sparking a three-day search of the area by police, the state Fire Marshal’s office and the Coast Guard.
