On the night of November 25, 2022, Samantha Humphrey, a teenager from Schenectady, left her home around 11 p.m. and made her way to Riverside Park, located in the Stockade neighborhood. Her mother, Jaclyn Humphrey, revealed that Samantha's departure was motivated by a desire to meet her ex-boyfriend, a relationship that had raised concerns among family members due to allegations of abuse. This troubling context set the stage for a series of events that would lead to a tragic outcome. That evening, tensions escalated between Samantha and her ex-boyfriend, culminating in a physical altercation. Reports indicate that during the confrontation, Samantha bit her ex on the arm, a desperate act that underscored the volatile nature of their relationship. This incident marked a pivotal moment in the timeline of her disappearance, as it was the last known interaction before she went missing, leaving her family and community in a state of distress and uncertainty. Three months later, in February 2023, the search for Samantha ended with the discovery of her body. An autopsy was conducted, but the results were inconclusive regarding the cause of death, prompting the Schenectady police to classify the case as a homicide investigation. The forensic pathologist's inability to determine a definitive cause may have been influenced by the possibility that her body had been submerged in the river for an extended period. Despite the lack of clarity surrounding her death, Samantha's family remains convinced that she was murdered, and they have recently provided updates on the ongoing search for her killer, including an increased reward for information leading to an arrest.Locating The Lost
