Benjamin Lee Pearce, 38, was last seen December 22, 2023, after leaving his North Richland Hills home to buy a vehicle in McKinney. He’d arranged a Lyft for the trip and was captured on surveillance in Dallas and in North Richland Hills. His phone later pinged near the Trinity River in Arlington, but since that day there has been no activity on his phone, social media, or bank accounts.

At the time he disappeared he was wearing jeans and a dark hoodie and carrying a backpack with his laptop. He is described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Collin County is listed as his last known location. Despite searches and public appeals, there has been no confirmed sighting or new information.

Anyone who saw Benjamin on or after December 22, 2023, or who has information about his travel between North Richland Hills, Dallas, Collin County and the Trinity River area in Arlington is asked to contact the Collin County Sheriff’s Department.
