Samantha Ardrena Joseph, 43, of Youngstown, Ohio, was last seen on July 1, 2009, leaving her apartment on McGuffey Road. Known to use the names Samantha Green, Pam Green, and Samantha Grissett, she is described as a Black woman, 5 feet 4 inches, about 120 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and a tattoo on her left arm. Two days after her last sighting police stopped her and cited her for possession of drugs; that encounter on July 3 is the last confirmed contact anyone has had with her.

Her husband reported her missing on July 4, and on July 12 Samantha’s car was found abandoned in Lakewood, Ohio, a significant distance from Youngstown. The condition of the vehicle and any evidence it might have held have not been publicly detailed. The case has been classified as endangered missing and remains open, but few substantive leads have been reported and the investigation has gone cold.

If anyone knew Samantha, saw her after July 1, 2009, or has information about the car found in Lakewood, please come forward with what you know.
