SAN DIEGO -- A man who went to Rosarito to celebrate his birthday ahs not been seen or hear from since Saturday, his family and friends told NBC 7/39.

Samuel Goldberg, 21, and a couple of friends drove to the beach town in Baja California on Saturday. His father, Frank Goldberg, drove from his home in Corona, Calif., to Rosarito this week to look for his son but was unable to locate the man.

Frank said his son left his car at the border and crossed into Mexico. Samuel left his cell phone in his dorm room, his father told NBC 7/39. He believes that after a night of partying in the beach town, his friends came back, leaving him behind.

The man's father said that while it's possible his son had gone a little wild during spring break, it would be out of character for him not to return. Frank said he and Samuel had planned on going fishing with his son on Thursday in Utah.

Samuel's father said a bus full of spring breakers is due back at campus and he is hoping his son will be on the bus.

His family also said that $1,600 of unexplained charges have been made on Samuel's credit card.

The people joining in the search for Samuel plan on posting fliers on both sides of the border in the hope that someone will recognize him.

Let's hope he's on the bus.

My concern is the 'unexplained charges' on his CC.

I worry about that, too. Maybe he made them while partying. I hope.

Sam is back in US. He was "held" against his will for several days by locals who used his credit card. He was kept drunk and promised help to get back to border. He's young and apparently somewhat naive about Mexican locals who befriend you. This whole experience was traumatic for the entire family.
