Reuben Peraza Benavidez, 85, walked away from his home and disappeared in the late evening of June 13 or the early morning of June 14, 2021. He was last seen near Valencia Road and Interstate 19 in Tucson, Arizona. He did not have a vehicle and is believed to have been on foot; he was known to take very long walks and may have been attempting to reach Bisbee.

Benavidez is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, 140 to 160 pounds, with gray or partially gray hair and brown eyes. He has been diagnosed with dementia, diabetes, and high blood pressure and requires medication. At the time he went missing he was wearing a shirt of unknown color and blue jeans. Searches of areas he frequented, including desert borderlands near the Tohono O'odham Nation and the San Xavier Indian Reservation, did not locate him and the investigation remains active.

If anyone saw Reuben around Valencia Road and Interstate 19 in mid-June 2021 or has information about his movements, please contact 911 or the Tucson Police Department.
