Samuel Bryan Dennis was 29 when he disappeared from Fort Wayne, Indiana, on October 7, 2000. He was last seen about 4:30 p.m. riding a red moped with a torn seat in the 1100 block of Swinney Avenue near Typhoid Larry’s Burger Dairy. At the time he wore a dark long-sleeved shirt, jeans and Nike sneakers.

Known for distinctive tattoos — a heart with the name Wendy on his right shoulder, a Tasmanian devil on his left shoulder and a snake on his forearm — Samuel also had a noticeable bald spot on the crown of his head. He declined an offer to move in with his mother and never cashed his last paycheck.

In 2009 a man serving a murder sentence confessed to killing Samuel and led investigators to a site where he said the body was buried; no remains were found and no charges were filed. The Fort Wayne Police Department continues to investigate and foul play is strongly suspected.

Did anyone in Fort Wayne at the time see Samuel on or after October 7, 2000, or recall that red moped?
