New York State Police are asking the public for help locating Samar S. Corbett, 50, after his family reported not hearing from him since his release from Riverview Correctional Facility in Ogdensburg in September 2025. Police are investigating his whereabouts and seeking to confirm his well-being.
State Police said Corbett was released Sept. 30 after completing his sentence. He was taken to Canton and boarded a bus that traveled to Syracuse, with New York City as its final stop. His whereabouts since then are unknown.
Police describe Corbett as about 5 feet, 5 inches tall and about 144 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He is known to have ties to Dutchess County, Poughkeepsie, Canton, Syracuse, New York City and Virginia.
Anyone with information is asked to call State Police at SP Canton at 315-379-0012. Families seeking information about an inmate can contact Riverview Correctional Facility at (315) 393-8400. The state Missing Persons Clearinghouse also advises families to contact their local law enforcement agency first and can be reached at 1-800-346-3543.
