The sister of a former New York Giants player says he has been missing for about seven months and is pleading for help locating her brother. Sam Beal, who played defensive back, was last seen on July 13, 2025. “Authorities say he dropped off his girlfriend at her family’s house and headed toward Virginia Beach,” USA TODAY stated. Essence Zhane posted a message on Facebook asking anyone who may have seen Beal to contact the Kentwood Police Department in Virginia. “Tomorrow makes it 7 months since we’ve last heard from or seen my brother,” she wrote, according to Fox News. “We’ve done everything we could on our end to piece things together and at this point we’re in desperate need of support on all ends. I’m not here to answer a bunch of why’s and how’s I just need this to land in the right direction to gain some form of answers or closure,” she continued. “I’m a Big sister and I need my brother to know that We Love You and miss you and this has been a heavy feeling for months to carry around,” she added. Sam Beal — a former NFL Draft selection by the New York Giants in 2018 — has been missing for the last seven months, according to his sister. What we know: https://t.co/oPc6kTQ2nl pic.twitter.com/9Tbafio3hV — TMZ (@TMZ) January 12, 2026 Fox News has more: The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System database said the last time Beal had contact with loved ones was back on July 13, 2025. He is missing from Virginia Beach, Virginia. He’s described as having black hair with a muscular and athletic build with brown eyes. Beal’s girlfriend was the last one to see the former NFL player. He dropped her off at her family’s home and was supposed to head to work. However, Beal headed toward Virginia Beach. His girlfriend said the last time she heard from him, he said he was going back home. Beal is a Michigan native and played college football at Western Michigan for three seasons before the Giants selected him in the 2018 NFL Supplemental Draft. He started three games for the Giants during his rookie season in 2019. He tallied 27 tackles and one safety over two seasons. USA TODAY noted: According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System database, Beal, 29, “did not bring anything with him aside from the clothes he was wearing, a pair of slides, and his wallet that contained his banking card and driver’s license.” The girlfriend’s car was later recovered in Virginia Beach “with Samuel’s shoes and socks on the floor of the front passenger seat.”

Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) announced he will not seek re-election after serving five terms in Congress. “After much prayerful consideration and discussion with my family, I have decided not to seek re-election to the United States House of Representatives. This will conclude my service after five meaningful terms representing the people of Florida’s Second Congressional District,” the 72-year-old said in a statement. “The time has come to pass the torch to new conservative leaders, return home to Panama City, and spend more precious time with my family and our beloved grandchildren,” he added. Please see my statement on my decision not to seek re-election. pic.twitter.com/sogoXQTJZD — Dr. Neal Dunn (@DrNealDunnFL2) January 13, 2026 The Hill shared further: His announcement follows quickly after former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) vacated her seat in the middle of the term last week. Dunn was first elected in 2016 and has comfortably won reelection in the Panhandle-based 2nd Congressional District four times since. He earned more than 61 percent of the vote in 2024, when about 59 percent of the district voted for President Trump. The Floridian joins more than two dozen GOP lawmakers in the lower chamber who will not seek reelection, including Reps. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas), Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Randy Feenstra (R-Iowa), David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) and Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.). Ahead of a crucial midterm election cycle, Trump says he fully expects to be impeached if Democrats regain the House amid growing vacancies. “You gotta win the midterms. Because if we don’t win the midterms, they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached,” Trump said. Check it out: Trump: "You gotta win the midterms.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., is running for governor of South Carolina, while Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., is seeking the governorship in California. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, is running for Texas attorney general, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is mounting a Senate bid in Texas, challenging incumbent Sen. John Cornyn. Republicans currently hold a slim majority in the House after former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., resigned in January and Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif., died the same week. The special election to fill Greene’s seat is scheduled for March 10.
