Speeding stop costs man $19K

Samdass was pulled over for speeding in Headingley, Manitoba in August of 2016. Police found small amounts of Marijuana and 19K in cash believed to be obtained from criminal activity. He is obviously no stranger to nefarious activity as well as venturing well outside of Hamilton and Toronto.

''Two sisters of a Hamilton man who went missing in downtown Toronto in early September are appealing to the public for help finding their brother.

Reisha Dass and Leah Gerrard said investigators have told them Michael Samdass, 40, was last seen on Thursday, Sept. 5, in the area of College and Yonge streets.

"I've been hearing rumours that he may no longer be alive," Dass told CBC News.

"This is very concerning. We've heard people say he was murdered."

''He wasn't the same

Dass said her brother "was super social, outgoing, charming, and always well dressed," but in 2017, family members noticed that he was changing.

"We noticed that he wasn't the same. He became very withdrawn. He was agitated all the time. He was edgy all the time. He'd snap for no reason. It was crazy," Dass said.''

''We've been driving around Toronto searching the last areas where he was seen. We were there three times last week just searching the streets in downtown Toronto," Gerrard said.''

"In their July 13 bulletin, Hamilton police said they have exhausted all efforts to locate Samdass.

They're asking anyone with information to contact Det. Const. Chelsea Knowles by calling 905-546-2917 or Det. Sgt. Ben Thibodeau at 905-546-2907, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477''

ETA - Sheez. I should probably start reading the thread before I post my findings. @Oz Necid posted about this upthread. (Off to get more coffee)

I also found this. I hope he wasn't traveling with large quantities of money or drugs when he came upon someone with nefarious intentions. Be smart and safe, Michael. Get home!
