Ahren Benjamin Barnard, 35, was last seen the evening of December 4, 2004, in Boise, Idaho. He dropped his young son off at a McDonald’s at Cole and Overland Road around 7:00 PM and made a final known phone call at 7:15 PM. He never showed for a planned visit the next day.

Barnard’s vehicle was found the following day parked at his home on Southerland Drive. His dog, cat, passport, and other personal belongings remained at the residence. He worked as a gun dealer and as a DJ at local clubs and had been involved in a custody dispute; reports say there is no conclusive evidence linking those tensions to his disappearance. Family members say he was a devoted father who would not willingly abandon his child, and foul play is suspected.

No substantial leads have been reported and the Boise Police Department continues to investigate. If anyone saw Ahren Barnard, his car, or remembers his last known movements on December 4, 2004, please come forward with information.
