Wow. Crazy how this flew under the radar for so long. Very sad situation and the fact that it's been 7 months with no updates is heartbreaking (and says a lot)

I wonder about the correlation between him being a football player and going missing...CTE?

I wonder about the correlation between him being a football player and going missing...CTE?

Hate to say it but this is my immediate thought as well. CTE is way more prevalent than people realize. Suicide or death by misadventure due to CTE symptoms would be my guess too. Really horrible. I hope they at least find him soon.

Sam Beal, the missing former New York Giants cornerback, spent five months in a Michigan prison over unpaid child support payments prior to his disappearance, online records have revealed.

The discovery of the 29-year-old's brief incarceration is the latest development in Beal's missing persons case, which has recently gained attention thanks to the efforts of his sister, Essence Zhane.
*****
It's not clear if Beal's legal problems led to his disappearance, but he has faced several run-ins with the law. As first reported by TMZ, Beal was in a Michigan prison from September 2024 to February 2025 for two charges of failing to make child-support payments.

The Daily Mail has since confirmed this information on the Michigan Department of Corrections website.
