Details of Disappearance

Benjamin disappeared from Burien, Washington on July 2, 1982. He had been living with his family, then he went to stay with a foster family in Burien. After only about a day, he disappeared and has never been heard from again. Authorities believe he left of his own accord, possibly to go back to his biological parents.

For unclear reasons, Benjamin wasn't reported missing until 2017. He may still be in the local area, or he may be in Seattle, Washington. Few details are available in his case.
