Benjamin Lamar Roberson was 25 when he was last seen in Newport, Oregon, on July 4, 2014. He is described as a White male, about 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing 150 to 180 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. A large scar across his jaw from an accident the prior year was often hidden by a beard.

Details about where he was on that Fourth of July, who he was with, or his state of mind at the time are not publicly detailed. The Newport Police Department opened an investigation and his case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under MP29393, but there have been few publicly reported leads and the investigation remains open.

If anyone in Newport or the surrounding coast area remembers Benjamin around that holiday or has information that could help, please share what you know.
