Found Safe AR - Samantha Jo Pinner, 30, dropped off kids at school, Beebe, White County, 19 Aug 2019

A friend is sharing that Samantha has very curly hair. Her missing photo is not how she normally would look as she straightened her hair. I edited the faces of the minors in the photo.

She’s adorable...

Has there been mention of how many kids she has? Would they all be part of the same school choice program, if that is the case?

By looking at the photo her friend posted about her currents looks, there seems to be 2 children. IM ASSUMING THOSE ARE HER CHILDREN BUT NOT SURE.

Obviously LE knows something bad has gone down. It’s nearly unheard of for LE to take a missing person report when someone was last seen only two hours previously, unless they’re seen being kidnapped or there’s obviously been a struggle in the home.

No one is actually asking for anyone to search for her (just pray for her is all I’ve seen) and it appears no one is actively searching for her. So I’m assuming LE are quietly working to find her.

Reading through the divorce decree from the provided link, it seems that Samantha got the family home. It is very rural (the mailing address is actually McRae, AR) and on some acreage. The school district is Beebe (only a few miles from their home).

Please find this beautiful mom!

If she encountered her ex-husband - which seems likely to me - I don't see a good outcome. Domestic violence, violating a protection order, violating no contact order and the only thing that stopped that cycle was 90 days in jail on a probation violation and then released and then this.

This is absolutely frightening and upsetting to think about, but I do agree that this seems to be the case. Especially after all of the hours that have now gone by and she hasn't contacted anyone, nor made any arrangements for her children for the night (if, let's just say, she wanted to get away for a bit on her own- unlikely but we can always hope).

My heart aches for her children and her family.

As I've read more posts from family and friends this morning it does appear that Samantha Pinner did live in Searcy.

The only question that still baffles me is why the Searcy Police Dept. is investigating unless they know she went missing from Searcy? Does this indicate someone saw her "back in" Searcy after she dropped her kids off in Beebe? Did someone see something? Was evidence found at her home? In some of the news stories it indicates that family had called police to an address on W. Race to report her missing. I had originally thought maybe this was just the residence of someone in her family, but I now believe this is probably where she was living.

Just to make a comparison and further explain why I'm still confused about Searcy PD as opposed to the Beebe PD taking the report and leading the investigation....

There has been a Searcy man missing for about 6 weeks now. He worked in Beebe and it's presumed he went missing from Beebe, and therefore the Beebe PD is leading the investigation into his disappearance. (JUST TO CLARIFY: I have no reason to believe these cases are related. Just making a comparison)

So happy for her children and family! I was fearing the worst and I'm so glad I was wrong.

Great News!!!
Happy Dance for Sam. Aka Samantha.
This was a quick missing alert and a quick found safe case.

 

[Knox]

So relieved, great news!!

where was she? i couldn't see the fb post

 

[Steelslady]

Wonderful news. Sounds like she took a mental health day off from her phone. Or maybe something else. I just hope that she is ok mentally, that nothing occurred to make her take off for awhile. Stay safe, Samantha!

There were no details given when I found that report earlier this morning. I haven't been back on FB to look, but did see this.

Evidently, the family and LE are withholding the details.

Searcy police confirm missing 30-year-old mother found safe

"Police did not say where she was found."

 

[Kittybunny]

Oh thank goodness!!! Hope she's OK.

 

[whoizzit]

Hmmm, interesting!

I clicked the link I had posted earlier to see if there was updated info on Searcy PD’s story about Missing/Found Samantha Pinner.

The entire thing has been deleted. Her missing poster and info. The update. And all of the comments on the post.

I’ve not ever seen this before. For those of you who have more experience, is it normal for a PD to delete a MP thread?

Seems odd to me. Like, oops, it never happened.

 

[MimosaMornings]

That’s odd. I went back to reread and noticed they were gone too.

 

[Eloise]

Maybe it's a privacy thing, maybe she asked for it to be removed? If she's safe then there's no need for it to remain.

I'm so glad she's safe, I was worried about her. I hope her creep of an ex stays away.
