Sam Walkenhorst walked away from his home in the area of Doe Creek Drive, Lithia, Florida on February 15, 2024, at 8:30 am. He was wearing a Dungeons and Dragons outfit and carrying a dark roller case and a backpack. Sam is on the autism spectrum. He might be traveling to an unknown location via bus, train, or airplane and has ties to the Windermere, Orlando area. He is not listed as a missing person as it lacks the 24 hr threshold. However, family states this is a dire situation, as they believe he may have been influenced or possibly exploited. If you see him, please call or text. Take a photograph and text it to 863-559-0707 (Billy).
