Samantha Lynn Gonzales, 22, was last seen April 27, 2013, in Oakland, California, while living in the Alameda County area. Her family in North Carolina had regular contact with her through social media until communications stopped in April 2013; they reported her missing on December 6, 2013, after months without word.

Samantha is 5 feet 3 inches tall, about 100 pounds, with blonde hair and green eyes. She has used the name Katie and the nicknames Angel and Sam. There are outstanding warrants for her related to prior prostitution and drug offenses in Compton and Los Angeles. Authorities note her high-risk lifestyle and the abrupt break in contact, and suspect foul play may be involved; the disappearance remains unsolved and under investigation.

If anyone has information about Samantha’s whereabouts or the last time she was seen in Alameda County, please contact the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department.
