Taurean Trent Perkins, known as Trent, was 22 when he vanished in early 2005 after returning home from work and spending time with friends in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The exact date of his disappearance is uncertain. He was known to keep daily contact with family, even while working offshore, making his extended silence uncharacteristic.

Trent was described as a white male, 6 feet 2 inches and about 150 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Distinguishing marks included a red birthmark on the right side of his lower lip, a PB tattoo on his upper right arm, and another tattoo on his left shoulder. He frequented residences in Calcasieu and Beauregard Parishes and may have been in the DeQuincy area when last seen. His family said he may have been involved with drugs at the time.

The investigation remains open with both the Calcasieu and Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Offices. Law enforcement has followed numerous tips over the years, including a search of a well in Singer, but Trent’s whereabouts remain unknown. Does anyone in the Calcasieu or Beauregard area remember seeing Trent around early 2005 or have information that could help locate him?
