Missing Person

Hi, everyone. I have some more serious news I need to bring to your attention. Ben Stanford, a senior at my old high school, disappeared this past Monday and has been declared missing. Here is a recent picture of him and the information the alumni association of my high school sent out:




"Ben Stanford, a senior at The Donoho School, has been reported missing.
Ben is the son of Bill and Lynne Stanford and the grandson of state Sen.
Jim Preuitt, D-Talladega. Ben is also the brother of Will Stanford, '06.

The faculty, staff and students of Donoho ask you for your prayers for Ben
and his family. Please share this information with any members of the
Donoho family who know the Stanford family. Following is information that
appeared in the Anniston Star and the Talladega Daily Home:

Law enforcement in Alabama and Georgia are searching for Ben ,17, who was
last seen Monday morning near I-20 in Lincoln.

According to family members, Stanford weighs 140 pounds and has brown hair
and green eyes, and was last seen about 7:30 a.m., Monday. He was driving
a silver 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee at the time, and the family says they
know he bought gas before getting on the interstate Monday.

The vehicle may have been seen in Villa Rica, GA."
