Seventeen-year-old Stephanie Lynn Benton disappeared from Bullhead City, Arizona, on the night of March 13, 1995. She had come from Kingman with a female friend and was at Community Park about 2:00 a.m. The two became separated and Stephanie was last seen walking toward a trailer park or mobile home park wearing an oversized t-shirt and black boxer shorts. She was wearing contact lenses then.

Stephanie is described as having blonde hair and hazel eyes. Distinguishing marks include a discoloration on her thigh, a scar on her knee, a scar on her ankle, pierced ears, a tattoo of a cross with radiating lines on one buttock and a small dot tattooed between her right thumb and forefinger. Her disappearance was out of character; she had a paycheck waiting and was looking forward to her boyfriend’s release from prison in six months.

The Kingman Police Department lists her as an endangered missing person. Investigators explored leads over the years; at one point two men claimed involvement but that lead was dismissed when it was shown one man was incarcerated at the time. There has been speculation drugs may have been a factor because both Stephanie and her friend were known to use drugs. Her case remains open and unsolved.

If anyone has information about Stephanie’s movements that night or remembers seeing her in Bullhead City, please come forward.
