Joshua Derek Trent, 30, vanished from Trinity, North Carolina, on September 17, 2018. He was last seen walking near the intersection of Mendenhall Road Extension and Highway 62 after a dispute; witnesses report he walked away from the situation before disappearing. Trent’s family says leaving for extended periods was not entirely out of character, but he always kept in contact — which makes the total silence after that September day particularly worrying.

At the time he disappeared he was described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches, about 150 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Distinctive tattoos include the letters MAT on his right shoulder and TRENT across his upper back. The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation, which is now a cold case; rewards have been offered for information.

The nature of the dispute and the people involved have not been publicly detailed, and no friends or family have heard from him since he was last seen. Does anyone have information about Joshua’s movements that day or about the intersection of Mendenhall Road Extension and Highway 62 around September 17, 2018?
