CLINTON — Ben Roseland disappeared on Feb. 9, 2008, from Clinton after leaving a friend’s home and was last seen near the 400 block of 10th Avenue South, Clinton, to walk a few blocks to a grocery store, but he never arrived.
No one has heard from him since and there has been no activity on his cell phone or bank account. He was last seen wearing camouflage overalls; he was 19 years old at the time he vanished, with brown hair and blue eyes, although slender he weighed 175 pounds and stood 5 foot 11 inches tall.
Roseland’s family contacted the CUE Center for Missing Persons, a national organization for missing persons to aid in their case last year; now a renewed effort is under way, starting with the recent billboard erected that is located at Sixth Avenue North and Second Street in Clinton.
“We hope this effort will provide new information and or tips for the investigators in the case, reaching out in a large form to a community can afford people contact information and reach those who might not be aware of this case,” said CUE’s founder, Monica Caison.
Last September, CUE placed a bill board on a busy highway in North Carolina for a missing woman of 31⁄2 years, hoping for a break. It did just that. A tipster contacted law officials leading them to a recovery of human remains and within days of the discovery an arrest was made, solving the case of the missing woman who left four grieving children behind.
Anyone with information regarding Roseland’s whereabouts can contact the Clinton Police Department at 243-1458 or send an e-mail to info@benroseland.com. Contact CUE Center for Missing Persons at (910) 343-1131, its 24-hour line at (910) 232-1687 or cuecenter@aol.com. Visit the center on the Web at www.ncmissingpersons.org
