Brandon Dante Raphelle Ralls, known as Little B, was 16 when he was last seen in Kansas City, Missouri, on October 31, 2001. At the time he disappeared he was described as five feet six inches, 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a black Fat Albert t-shirt, a black hooded jacket with stripes, grey pants, grey tennis shoes, and a grey cap, and had a distinctive grill with three gold teeth on the upper front side of his mouth.

The official last contact is Halloween 2001, though there was a possible, unconfirmed sighting of him walking on Longview Road on November 5, 2001. Authorities have classified the case as an endangered runaway and the circumstances remain unclear. Family members recalled that Brandon seemed troubled in the days before he vanished; his father, Willard Ralls Jr., said Brandon kept looking at his pager as if he needed to be somewhere but would not say why. The investigation remains open and the family continues to seek answers.

If anyone knew Brandon’s whereabouts in late 2001 or saw him on Longview Road in early November, please share what you know.
