Search Continues for Samuel Waters, Missing Since Jan. 4

Family and friends continued searching Sunday for Samuel Waters, the Lawrenceville man who has been missing for more than a week.

Waters, 21, was last seen around 10 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 4 near the intersection of Hillcrest Green Drive and Hurricane Shoals Road. Around 30 people searched the woods, posted flyers and spoke with local business in the area on Sunday, the family told Patch in an email Monday.

The search has focused around the area where Waters was reportedly dropped off. He reportedlt said he had not planned to be long. He was carrying his wallet, ID and $5 in cash.

A Facebook page — “Samuel Waters Missing” — has been created to share information on the search and on a fundraising effort to raise money for the search and to support Waters’ fiance and baby, who is expected in February.

“Samuel was very excited about his fiancé being due to deliver their newborn daughter, Althea, in 4 weeks, he would not have left for an extended period of time on his own free will,” the family said in an email.
