Authorities are searching for a 32-year-old Batesville woman who has been reported missing, according to the Independence County Sheriff’s Department.
Samantha Hahn was last heard from on Sept. 29, 2024, when she spoke with her mother, according to an incident report filed this week. Hahn’s mother told authorities she has been unable to contact her daughter since that day and does not know where she is living. At the time of her disappearance, Hahn was reportedly with a man identified as Joshua Elms, the report said.
Investigators went to Elms’ registered address in Southside, but a resident there said Hahn had not been seen for a week. Hahn’s last known vehicle is a black Jeep Patriot with the license plate AYA 31J.
The sheriff’s department said Hahn will be listed as missing in the Arkansas Crime Information Center. She is described as having brown hair and hazel eyes, standing 5 feet, 4 inches tall, and weighing 260 pounds.
Anyone with information should contact the Independence County Sheriff’s Office at (870) 793-8838.
