The internet has been on an active lookout for former NFL cornerback Sam Beal, who has been reported to be missing since mid-July 2025. After nearly seven months of search with no avail, Beal’s desperate sister has turned to the public to find any kind of lead regarding her brother’s whereabouts.
Amid growing concerns over the 29-year-old’s unexplained disappearance, attention has turned to the woman who was the last known person to speak with him before he vanished: his girlfriend.

However, he took a detour and travelled towards Virginia Beach, where his girlfriend’s family later found her vehicle, lying abandoned. The following day, Beal’s girlfriend received a call from him; he told her that he was in Virginia Beach and planned to head back home. No one has seen or heard from him since.
