Samuel Gillison was 41 when he was last seen in Detroit, Michigan, on May 13, 2001. He had been hospitalized for treatment of seizures and was discharged with the plan to go home to retrieve his birth certificate, but never made it to his residence and has not been seen or heard from since.

At the time he disappeared he was about 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall, 160 to 185 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and a mustache. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and jeans and had pins in one of his toes that were never removed. The abruptness of his disappearance after release from the hospital and the absence of any contact with friends or family are central mysteries in this open case.

Anyone who knew Samuel, saw him in Detroit around May 13, 2001, or has information that could help resolve his disappearance is asked to come forward.
