re: My brother has been missing since 9/1/21. UPDATE HE’S BEEN FOUND BY THE OT.NEW UPDATE 1/23

Her sister Becca was the gf fricking the herion dealer. Can only imagine how their family feels reading/seeing that video.

Saw a comment on the video that he’s coming back to Louisiana. True that he’s been found?

Incredible story….. and a heartbreaking interview. Luckily he seems to be very self aware so hopefully he accepts the help and gets to reestablish a relationship with his son.

I've been following this thread since Sampson started it hoping for the best and truly cannot believe the power of the OT in finding Sampson's brother from a youtube channel. Watching the video now and hearing of Colin's struggles is heart breaking.

Sampson, I hope you're able to get some closure from this difficult situation and able to move forward in your relationship with Colin. He's got a good head on his shoulders and with some help can get back on the right track. Please keep us updated over the next few months and let us know how things are going. I think you've seen in this thread that you have a ton of support on here with people that care

Samson, I am so happy that you found your brother. I pray that he gets the help he needs. This story shook me when you originally posted it and I am so glad it’s moving in the right direction. This place never ceases to amaze me and you certainly came to the right place for help. This is truly a Christmas miracle!!!

Your brother is a good dude.

Thank you to everyone for all the kind words, it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions the last 3-4 months and especially the last 24 hours when the video was discovered. I was able to get in touch with the guy Mark that creates the videos and he said my brothers interview was filmed about 3 weeks ago, but Colin is also one of the few that he routinely checks in on and last saw him Monday or Tuesday of this week.

I tried calling the local LAPD station that handles Skid Row to get a unit out there so I can get on the phone with him, they said they would but I never heard anything back from them. I also called the P.I. who has been working the case but he’s in San Francisco until Monday, I then heard from one of his coast guard buddies who lives in North Hollywood who has volunteered to go down there today and get him. His name is Charlie and he’s a good man who assisted me when I was out there searching for him back in August. So hopefully Charlie locates him within the next few hours (he’s searching the area colin mentioned in the video along with another area Mark said he knows Colin to frequent) and calls me with Colin on the other line. I’m going to be extremely happy to finally hear his voice and hopefully he will be willing to accept the help we are going to offer.

The plan from there is for him to stay with Charlie and for me to get on the next flight from Houston to LAX, bring him home and get him checked into a local detox center. I am praying this all goes smoothly as possible and I promise to keep y’all updated as much as I can. I am so grateful he is alive and looking forward to what will hopefully be a successful full recovery. Thank you all again for everything I AM FOREVER INDEBTED TO THE OT

Praying right now they locate him and get him safely to Charlie's. He may need to go to detox center first but praying God works out all the details and you can physically reunite with him soon.

Thank you for the update. Prayers that he accepts what you are offering and it goes smoothly. He has a lot of hard and challenging work ahead of him but he’s capable with a brother and friends like he obviously has to support him. God bless you!
