Missing Clinton, Trumbull Teens 'Lovely... In Need of Guidance," The View Co-Host Says

A Silver Alert was issued for 16-year-old Clinton teenager, Sam Foley, in August 2014.

Six days after he went missing, his sister issued a plea for him to come home. Trumbull teenager Carolyn Lindsey, reportedly Foley’s girlfriend, was last seen in September.

Rosie O’Donnell, co-host of The View, mentioned the two teenagers on a recent show, WTNH reported. She said her daughter is friends with Carolyn.

Of the missing teenagers, O’Donnell said:

“They both have special needs and they both need medication and I just wanted to tell them after talking to both their families that you are not in trouble, no one is angry at you, please call home, someone will come pick you up. You’re not in trouble. Thank you very much. If you have information please call this number — the Clinton Police Department — 860-669-0451. They are lovely teenagers in need of guidance.”

Police said the family confirmed that Foley took a train from New Haven to New York City and Sgt. Jeremiah Dunn is quoted as saying he got off the train at 125th Street and may be in the Brooklyn area.
