Samuel Lee Houchens, 53, was last seen the early evening of June 20, 2018, at his home in the 1600 block of Meridian Street in Charlottesville, Virginia. A father, brother and son, his disappearance was out of character and his family reported him missing on June 22, 2018. He is a white male, 5 feet 7 inches, about 160 pounds, with thinning brown hair. He was last seen wearing a gray t-shirt, navy blue and orange University of Virginia Cavaliers basketball shorts and brown deck shoes.

His scooter, which he often relied on because of mobility issues, was left inside the house. The back of his cell phone and its battery were found in the backyard, while the phone itself was missing. He had known medical problems related to alcoholism and drug abuse, and his girlfriend said he had recently relapsed after a period of being clean. The Virginia State Police issued a Virginia Critically Missing Adult Alert and multiple agencies conducted ground searches, but the case later went cold.

Does anyone in central Virginia remember seeing Samuel around June 20, 2018, or have information about where he might have gone?
