Benjamin Richard Cannon was 20 when he was last seen in late March 1995 at his residence on Weir Street in Omaha, Nebraska. He was involved with the Rainbow Family at the time and may have been experiencing mental health issues before he vanished. Cannon was described as 6 feet 2 inches, about 180 pounds, with dark brown hair cut in a buzz cut with bangs, gray or hazel eyes, pierced ears, and no tattoos; he dressed casually and sometimes wore a beret.

Despite disappearing in 1995, he was not officially reported missing until May 2004 after an initial refusal by police to take a report. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear and few details have emerged since. If anyone remembers Benjamin, his activities in Omaha, or has information about the Rainbow Family connections from that period, contact the Omaha Police Department.
