Local perspective:
The New Prague Police Department and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are asking for the public's help locating Logan Sampson, 24.
He was last seen in the early morning of Sunday, Sept. 7, leaving a home near the 600 block of Bernas Lane in New Prague. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black jogger pants.
Sampson is known to be traveling on foot. The New Prague Police Department says he was last seen on camera at 1:30 a.m. near Phillips Parkway.
His mother told FOX 9 Sampson has a tight group of friends. He was watching TV with his dad about 30–45 minutes before he was last seen on camera. He was generally talkative and in a good mood.
"It’s 24 hours out now and this isn’t really something that happens around new Prague," she told FOX 9. "We're doing our best to find him."
The fire department flew drones with heat sensors and the Minnesota State Patrol sent a helicopter to search for him without any success.
The last ping on his cellphone was at 9 a.m. on Sunday about a mile from the Sampson's home, his mom told FOX 9.
His mom says Sampson may be foggy without his anti-seizure medications.
