Sister Pleads for Clues in Ex-Giant Beal’s 7-Month Vanishing

Former NFL cornerback Samuel Beal has been missing for seven months. His sister, Essence Zhane, is appealing to the public for information, asking anyone with tips to contact the Kentwood Police Department (616-698-6580) or Virginia Beach Police Department (757-385-4141). Beal was last seen July 12, 2025 in Virginia Beach after dropping off his girlfriend; he reportedly said he’d head home but never arrived. The girlfriend’s car was found in Virginia Beach, with Beal’s shoes and socks in the front seat and sand on the floor; Beal left with only the clothes he wore, slides, and his wallet.
