What happened to Samara from Under the Bridge?

Samara Bailey was Warren Glowatski's girlfriend in the series. She testified against him in court when he was on trial for the brutal murder of Reena Virk. In the series, Warren's character mentions that Samara did not visit him in prison, leading him to believe their relationship was over. Actress Isabella Leon portrayed the character of Samara on screen.

Samara's character in the show is very different from how she is portrayed in Rebecca Godfrey's book, where her real name, Syreeta Hartley, is used. In the book, Syreeta is depicted as very attached to Warren, writing letters to Warren in prison to show her support. She was also reluctant to testify against him in court. This matches court testimonies from multiple sources stating that Syreeta seemed very detached and disinterested while testifying.

Since the trial, Syreeta (Samara) has maintained a low profile. Her current whereabouts are unknown, as she kept her life private to maintain her privacy.
