Ben Brown, a 28-year-old accountant from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, mysteriously went missing from his office early Wednesday morning and has not been seen since

Benjamin Brown left his house to go to work at about 5:00 am as he wanted to study for an accounting test that afternoon. His wife, Ragan Brown, got up at 6:30 am that morning and called his cell phone, but Ben never answered. 

"I just miss him so much and I love him and I just want him back," she said.

Detectives have reviewed surveillance tapes and they show Ben walking in to the office at 8550 United Plaza Blvd at 5:20 am on Wednesday morning. He did make it in to his office as some items were found on his desk, but surveillance tapes do not show him leaving the building. His car is also still at the office.

There are no signs of suspicious activity. His personal belongings are still in his office as well, but he never made it to class that afternoon for his test.

"He would never go anywhere or do anything without telling me or letting me know what he's doing," Ragan said. Detectives did a systematic floor-to-floor search of the building and its grounds to no avail. Detectives have also checked with all area hospitals in an attempt to locate Brown. Detectives also tried to locate Brown on his cell phone, but there was no answer.

Benjamin Brown is 5'7" and is a caucasian male with brown hair, blue eyes, and weighs about 170 lbs. Anyone with any information is asked to call the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office at 225-389-5000 or Crime Stoppers at 225-344-7867.
