Benita Delgadillo Vallejos was 17 when she was last seen leaving Burlington, North Carolina, on September 2, year unspecified. She vanished in late summer 2025 and her family and community have had few public details to work with since then. Authorities in Burlington are the lead agency; the investigation is described as ongoing but specific information about her last known location, clothing, or companions has not been released.

The case has attracted little national attention, leaving gaps in the public timeline. For the family each day without news is a continuing vigil, and the absence of widely shared facts has made it harder for outsiders to help or to fill in the circumstances of her disappearance.

If anyone in Burlington or the surrounding area remembers seeing Benita around September 2 or has information that could help investigators, please come forward and contact the Burlington law enforcement agency.
