Samuel Lee Hernandez, a 46-year-old man from El Paso, Texas, was last seen on July 19, 1997. He made a phone call to his family from a payphone, informing them that he was on his way to Denver, Colorado. However, he never arrived, and his family has not heard from him since. At the time of his disappearance, Hernandez was dealing with multiple health issues, including diabetes, seizures, and back problems resulting from an injury.
He was also disabled due to a stroke, which caused his lip to twist. Hernandez was last seen wearing a pullover shirt, Levi's jeans, and sneakers.
There were some sporadic reports of contact after his disappearance. His wife received a call in 2000 stating that Hernandez was living in Utah, using his sister's address to collect his Social Security checks. However, his family reportedly lost contact with him in 2010. Despite these potential leads, Hernandez's whereabouts remain unknown, and foul play is suspected in his disappearance.
The case remains open, and authorities are encouraging anyone with information to come forward as his family continues to seek answers.Last Seen: Jul 19, 1997
