Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP3220) and 4 other sources
Samuel Miller, 43, was last seen on December 8, 2008, in San Diego, California. He made a phone call to his family that day, which was the last contact anyone had with him. His family became concerned as Samuel, who typically never missed calling on holidays or special occasions, failed to maintain further communication. Described as a white male, standing 6 feet tall and weighing around 160 pounds, Samuel has brown hair and brown eyes. He also has several distinct tattoos, including a black panther on his left chest and additional tattoos of dolphins and birds in other locations on his body.

Despite extensive efforts by law enforcement, including the San Diego Police Department, no significant leads have emerged in the case. Samuel remains listed as a missing person, and his disappearance is still unresolved. Authorities continue to encourage the public to provide any information that might help bring closure to this case.
