Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP57038) and 5 other sources
Samantha Lynn Gonzales, a 22-year-old woman, was last seen on April 27, 2013, in Oakland, California. She was living in the Alameda County area at the time of her disappearance. Samantha maintained regular contact with her family in North Carolina, primarily through social media platforms like Facebook, but all communication ceased in April 2013. Concern grew when her family reported her missing on December 6, 2013, after not hearing from her for months.

Samantha, who is 5'3" and weighs approximately 100 pounds, has blonde hair and green eyes. She is also known by the aliases "Katie" or the nicknames "Angel" and "Sam." There are warrants out for her arrest related to prior prostitution and drug offenses in areas including Compton and Los Angeles, California. Given her high-risk lifestyle and the sudden break in communication, authorities suspect foul play may be involved in her case.

Her disappearance remains unsolved, and law enforcement continues to investigate. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Alameda County Sheriff's Department.
