Benjamin Andrew Lott, 43, disappeared from Richmond, Virginia after a phone call on September 26, 2008. He spoke with his long-distance girlfriend that day, arranged her visit from New Jersey and said he would call back in an hour; that return call never happened. She arrived as planned on September 30 and found he had not met her at the train station and would not answer three different phone numbers.

His home on the 6300 block of Elkhardt Lane was locked with the burglar alarms set and his cats unfed inside. His black Saturn Vue was recovered abandoned and impounded from a shopping center parking lot about five miles from the residence. He worked at Wachovia Bank, had a college-aged daughter, and had been active on LiveJournal, with a last entry on September 20.

The circumstances are unexplained and investigators had few leads. Did anyone in the Richmond area see Benjamin or that Saturn Vue around the end of September 2008?
