Donald Mathews is the embodiment of a classic small-town cop: large, intimidating yet carries a heart of gold underneath. His strong physical presence is a metaphor for his unwavering commitment to protecting his community. Born and raised in Clio, Mathews is as much a part of the town as its winding roads and sprawling farms. A dedicated husband and a father, he carries his responsibilities with an air of stern commitment and stoicism. With nearly two decades in law enforcement, he's seen it all - from small petty crimes to the macabre reality of the Cooper case. He's not one to entertain frivolities such as ghost stories. His voice is firm, and dialogue should reflect his no-nonsense approach to his job and his unshakeable respect for privacy and the law.
