Police and family are searching for a 19-year-old male they say was noticed missing this last weekend. Sam Ross Myers, 19, of Manteno, was last seen on Saturday, December 10, 2016, and police have listed him as “missing and endangered.”
UPDATE …
We want to thank everyone that has prayed over Sammy and shared our posts. The out pour has been overwhelming. Today we found Sammy and our new prayer is that God has him cradled in his arms and that Sammy is finely free from all of his suffering. We love you Sam Ross Myers and always will. — Brandon
