Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP40880) and 12 other sources
Donald Sampson, a 31-year-old man from Randolph, Massachusetts, was last seen on December 10, 2010, near Oak and Main Street in Randolph. Known for his helpful nature, Donald spent his days assisting family and friends with errands. However, after his disappearance, his family became increasingly concerned as it was out of character for him to not communicate. At the time, Donald had recently undergone surgery and was on medication, which heightened his family’s fears for his safety.

His sister, Veda, reported him missing to the Randolph police, but she felt authorities did not act swiftly or take his case seriously, possibly due to racial bias. Early in the investigation, police suggested that Donald may have voluntarily left, but his family strongly disagreed with this theory. Over time, the Randolph police have re-interviewed witnesses and conducted searches, but no new leads have emerged.

Donald’s family continues to seek closure, especially for his son and elderly mother, who hope for answers. Despite the passage of time, they remain hopeful that more information will come to light regarding Donald’s disappearance.
