The backstory:
Sampson was last seen on doorbell camera video letting out the family's dog before disappearing around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 7.
He did not have his phone on him, and his mom told FOX 9 he had two seizures in the past two years, with the most recent happening two weeks ago, which caused memory loss.
