Former New York Giants Cornerback Sam Beal Reported Missing as Family Seeks Answers

Sam Beal’s family has openly asked help as concerns mount regarding his absence. After Beal’s sister delivered an emotional message, the family stated they haven’t heard from him in seven months and need help finding answers or closure.

Beal was last seen by relatives in July 2025. The 29-year-old former NFL star planned to drive his fiancée to work after dropping her off at home. Instead, things changed suddenly. Beal vowed to return from Virginia Beach but never did. He’s silent since.

Beal’s sister said the family spent months investigating. The uncertainty has been terrible on her, and no family should face it alone. She expressed affection, worry, and hope that her brother understands he is missed. Her family needs assistance, not public speculation, to guide them.

Leaving with only his clothes, slides, wallet, driver’s license, and debit card, Beal’s missing person profile reads. Sand, shoes, and socks were found on his final car’s front passenger floor. His disappearance is further complicated by these details.

The Giants gave Sam Beal a promising football future in the 2018 supplemental draft’s third round. Injury and interruptions cut into his playtime. He missed his first season due to a shoulder injury and skipped 2020 because to COVID-19. After nine NFL games in 2019 and 2021, Beal was released late in the latter season. He quit professional football.

Beal was arrested for guns in 2020 after a traffic stop. His guilty plea earned him a year on probation. Authorities haven’t linked this to his disappearance.

We have more questions than answers. Beal’s example shows that athletes struggle too. His family believes awareness will provide crucial details and explain what happened.

Beal’s family wants anyone with relevant knowledge to come forward legally so authorities can solve the mystery.
