Please follow-up with LAPD Missing Persons regarding their missing person. They have nothing available to conduct a scientific comparison to Los Angeles Medical Examiner case 2017-05413.

Medial examiner is saying there is no dna on file for Samuel. I have followed up with LAPD Missing Persons.

I hope both cases even if they are not linked, get resolved soon.
