Bengie Lynn Tyson was 32 when she was last seen on November 26, 2009, in Red Lodge, Montana. Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, she had been traveling through Montana with her boyfriend, James Clemons, selling meat door-to-door and had been staying at the Chateau Rouge motel in Billings. She spoke briefly with her parents and her son on Thanksgiving Day; that was her last known contact with family.

Clemons says they argued and that he dropped her at a truck stop where she got into a white SUV, but Bengie’s blue 1999 Chevrolet Silverado and Bengie herself have not been located since. The Silverado had a tracker that showed the vehicle in Portland, Oregon, before the tracker was disabled in January 2010. Bengie’s family describe her as a devoted mother who kept in close touch, and they note her relationship with Clemons was volatile; investigators have not developed conclusive leads and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone saw Bengie, her truck, or a white SUV around late November 2009 or has information about the vehicle’s movement into Oregon, please come forward.
