Dustin Banks, 18, was reported missing from Bedford, Indiana, after he was last seen on August 6, 2025. Few details have been released publicly about the circumstances of his disappearance: authorities have not published what he was wearing or a precise last known location, and the timeline around his disappearance remains limited.

The Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has assigned a case number. Investigators have said Dustin may travel to Indianapolis, which has expanded the area of interest beyond Bedford.

The lack of descriptive information makes public tips especially important. Anyone who saw Dustin or who has information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office.
