Benjamin Tracy Ward, 47, was last seen on July 17, 2023, on foot near Fire Tower Road and Sank Town Road in McIntosh, Alabama. He had been living in Citronelle for several months after growing up in Prattville. When he disappeared he was wearing a fluorescent orange t-shirt, black shorts, white socks and black shoes.

Ward has serious medical issues, including liver disease, and needs daily medication. Investigators believe he did not have his medicine with him and note that without it he can become confused, lethargic, disoriented and may sleep for long periods. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office searched the area the next day but could not locate him; the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency lists the case as active and the sheriff’s office remains the lead agency.

Few details are known about his movements after he left Sank Town Road and there are no significant public leads. Does anyone in the McIntosh or Citronelle area remember seeing Benjamin after July 17, 2023, or know where he might have been headed?
