Samuel Finnie, 73, was reported missing from Memphis, Tennessee, and a Silver Alert was issued on August 2, 2024. He is described as a Black male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 170 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. He was last seen in the Westmore Cove area and has a medical condition that could impair his ability to return home without assistance.

Two months after Finnie’s disappearance, his nephew and caregiver, Christopher Collins, was charged with assault for an incident alleged to have occurred the day before Finnie went missing; Collins allegedly dragged Finnie out of the house by his shirt. Family members reported that Collins had been withdrawing money from Finnie’s bank account multiple times since the disappearance. A fire at the South Memphis home where Finnie and Collins lived prompted a separate fire investigation.

The combination of the assault charge, the disputed bank activity, and the house fire has left the family desperate for answers. Does anyone in the Westmore Cove or South Memphis area have information about Samuel’s whereabouts or the events around early August 2024?
