Benjamin Brewer, 25, vanished from Wooton, Kentucky after being last seen on August 6, 2017, while housesitting for a friend. The friend returned from a funeral to find Brewer and the house keys gone. He has not been seen or heard from since.

At the time he disappeared Brewer was being treated for a serious arm infection. A doctor had recommended hospitalization, but Brewer refused and was given two bottles of antibiotics. Investigators found both bottles at the house with only a single dose taken from each, a detail his family describes as highly uncharacteristic and dangerous. Friends also reported a change in his behavior in the days before he went missing; one said he had been acting paranoid and expressed fears that someone was trying to harm him. He had been struggling with depression after his grandmother died in 2016.

Brewer is described as having very bright blue eyes and buzzed brown hair. He was last seen wearing tattered blue jeans, a t-shirt, and worn tennis shoes. The Kentucky State Police are investigating and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone in the Wooton area remembers seeing Benjamin around August 6, 2017, or has information that could help locate him, please come forward.
