Vanished Without a Trace
Ahren was last seen around 7 p.m. on Saturday, December 4, 2004 in Boise, Idaho. He was wearing blue jeans and a brown suede leather jacket. He had just dropped his young son off for the evening with the child’s mother, and was planning to continue his visitation weekend the following morning. His last phone call was around 7:15 and his car was left in his driveway. He has not been heard from since.

Ahren has lived in Boise for 33 years and has many friends and associates, owns his own home, and has strong ties to the community. He has two very beautiful young children, whom he loves deeply, and Ahren is very close to his mom; they talked on the phone frequently, sometimes daily. Ahren would not have left the family that he loves without saying something. He would not have left his dog, Brutus, and cat, Scrap Iron, unattended and without food and water.

Help us bring Ahren home. We ask you to share this website with your friends and associates. And if you know anything of Ahren’s disappearance, please help end his family’s painful struggle by telling us what you know. If you have seen Ahren, please call one of the authorities listed on this page.

Ahren’s Story


Ahren (sounds like Aaron) has a big heart and a strong presence . . . he would walk into a room and people would feel his energy. He believes in and cherishes family and friends above all else, and has come to the aid of many members of his extended family on numerous occasions. Very accepting of others, he has friends in all walks of life and of varying backgrounds. He loves people, and until his disappearance, was never without his cell phone.

Ahren’s parents were divorced when he was just a toddler, and he has been emotionally scarred by an uncaring, absent father. Because of this, he takes the role of a parent very seriously. The proud father of a girl and a boy, he wanted to give his children a loving and supportive dad, and always made his time with them special.

An entrepreneur at heart, Ahren owned, or co-owned, and operated several businesses in Boise, including a saltwater fish store and aquarium service; a federally licensed retail gun store; a retail sport bike store and service operation; and, an online auction service. He always has a number of business ideas he is developing at any one time, and has a special knack for finding a need and developing a business to fill it. A hard worker, he puts in very long days on a regular basis, and understands the fine art of customer service. His near-photographic memory and high intellect, combined with his customer service and communication skills, makes Ahren a gifted sales person.

If you like to laugh, you would love to be around Ahren. His quick wit comes at lightening speed, and he can keep you in stitches for hours. When he’s with his good friend Robert, they ad lib with one another like a fine tuned comedy team. Ahren is simply fun to be around.

In the past year Ahren has experienced a long and drawn out custody battle for his son, and a falling out with his business partner, ending in the dissolution of the business. We believe these things, as well as others, forced Ahren to make some poor decisions that possibly led to his disappearance.

There are several who know what happened. One day, the light will shine upon the clouded conscience of one who knows, and our prayer is that they see the light of truth and take the brave steps to come forward and share what they know.

Ahren Benjamin Barnard



Above Images: Barnard, circa 2004


Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance

Missing Since: December 4, 2004 from Boise, Idaho
Classification: Endangered Missing
Date Of Birth: October 20, 1969
Age: 35 years old
Height and Weight: 5'10 - 6'0, 180 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian male. Black hair, brown eyes. Barnard may have a moustache and/or goatee. He has a scar on his left arm, a mole on the right side of his face above his moustache, a mole on his right temple and a mole by his right eye. He has previously fractured his foot and right forearm, and his tonsils have been removed. Barnard's ears are pierced and he shows deep dimples when he smiles. His nicknames are Ahrens, Benjy and Benj.
Clothing/Jewelry Description: A black or golden-brown suede leather jacket, a gray silky shirt, blue jeans, a Mobado watch on his right wrist and possibly a small hoop earring in each ear.


Details of Disappearance

Barnard was last seen in Boise, Idaho on December 4, 2004. He dropped his son off at 7:00 p.m. He was planning to see the child again the next morning, but never arrived, which is uncharacteristic of him. Barnard's last cellular phone call was at 7:15 p.m. on the day of his disappearance. His car was later found parked in his driveway. He has never been heard from again. He may be driving a green Land Rover sport utility vehicle (SUV) with temporary Idaho license plates.
Barnard is a gun dealer and may frequent gun shows. He also has worked as a disc jockey in strip clubs and has been known to carry weapons. He had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for battery in Ada County, Idaho at the time of his disappearance, but police are not sure whether his disappearance has anything to do with it. Prior to his disappearance, Barnard was fighting for custody of his son and had a falling out with his business partner. There is no evidence of foul play in his case, but due to his lifestyle, his disappearance is considered suspicious. Barnard's family stated he is a dedicated father who would not have willingly abandoned his children. He also left behind his dog and cat without making arrangements for their welfare, which his loved ones stated is uncharacteristic of him. His case remains unsolved.

Local man has been missing for two-and-a-half years

02:13 PM MDT on Wednesday, May 30, 2007

BOISE -- Boise Police are asking the public for help locating a man reported missing two-and-a-half years ago.

Detectives say they have no evidence that foul play is involved the disappearance of "Benji" Barnard.

However, detectives are concerned because so much time has passed since he was last seen in Dec. 2004.

Friends and family members say it is very unusual of him not to have contacted his loved ones on significant occasions like holidays or birthdays.

Detectives have been following leads, but none have turned up any evidence as to Barnard's whereabouts.

Boise Police are asking the public if they have any information that might help in locating him.

Missing: Ahren "Benji" Benjamin Barnard, age 37 (born 1969).

Last Seen: Dec. 4, 2004 at a fast food restaurant at Cole and Overland in Boise.

He is 5'10", 180 pounds, with brown eyes, and has dark hair, frosted blond on top. He may have a moustache and gotee and has a scar on his left arm. Barnard was last seen wearing jeans and a black leather jacket.

Anyone with information as to Barnard's whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 343-COPS.

Still searching


December 29. 2008



ALBION -- In the photos, one woman is wearing a floral blouse. Another has blue eyes that sparkle. A third, his red hair cut short, is wearing a suit and tie for his class photo.


They're all smiling.

They're all missing.

"They've all got a heartbreaking story," said David Lohr, 34, who is surrounded by posters of missing people at his office in Albion.

Lohr writes from his office about the missing and the dead on a blog called "Criminal Report Daily" for ID: Investigation Discovery, a 1-year-old digital cable channel that features true crime programs.

He spends his day researching and investigating unsolved cases.

Many of the stories catch at his heart. Which is why he's taken his interest in writing and researching crime a step further to involvement with the group Texas EquuSearch, a team that has aided in high-profile searches for missing teen Natalee Holloway and, more recently, for toddler Caylee Anthony, whose remains were recovered this month in Florida.

Lohr traveled with Texas EquuSearch to Florida to aid in the search for Caylee.

He was among the searchers who came close to the little girl's body, only to be turned away by knee-high water that had covered the wooded region.

"She was just 300 feet to the left of us," he said.

His interest in crime dates back to childhood.

"When other friends were buying GI Joe magazines, I was buying True Detective," he said.

After graduating from Northwestern High School, Lohr joined the Army. When he was discharged three years later, he returned to Albion and began his own Web site featuring serial killers.

In 1999, the Web site caught the eye of Marilyn Bardsley, then the executive director for Court TV's Crime Library. She asked him to write for Court TV's Web site. He worked for the Web site until 2007.

"He's a very good researcher," Bardsley said. "He's smart, he's determined, and he's clever. Plus he's good at writing. It's a good combination."

On some days, Bardsley said Lohr could ante up 300,000 hits on his blog.

"He's just good at getting people engaged," she said.

Lohr said some of his favorite subjects are the missing people that don't garner the attention of the likes of Nancy Grace and the morning news shows.

"A lot of them don't get the ongoing attention, the publicity that keeps their cases alive," he said.

That's why he keeps the pictures of Corrie Anderson, Jesse Ross, Linda Little, Ahren Barnard, Carlos Diaz, Brandy Hanna and Branson Perry posted in his office.

They remind him of who is still out there.

Ahren would not have left the family that he loves without saying something. He would not have left his dog, Brutus, and cat, Scrap Iron, unattended and without food and water.

KIVI-TV TODAY'S 6 NEWS
Mom Searches For Answers Into Son's Disappearance


BOISE, IDAHO --

It's been three years since Ahren Barnard disappeared from Boise, literally without a trace. Now his mother, Vicki Barnard is in town to lead a vigil this weekend, hoping it will help bring answers.

"I don't know if he's dead or alive. But I do know in my heart that there are people in this valley that know what happened to my son," Bernard told Today's Channel 6 News.

Ahren was 35 years old when he vanished without a trace on December 4, 2004. He was last seen dropping of his son at the McDonalds on Cole & Overland Roads.

"He was going to pick him up the next morning to complete his visitation weekend, but he never showed up," Vicki said. "So that was very, very odd. That was our first indication that maybe something was wrong.

She is certain her son would not have left without telling anyone. Ahren's truck was deserted in his driveway, and his pets were abandoned without food or water.


"I have tried to open my mind to all the possibilities out there. But I can not say for one second that I've believed that he left on his own," she said.

Vicki has always feared that fould play was involved in her son's disappearance, but Boise Police have never found any real proof of that. The case is still classified as "highly suspicious."

"Detectives may have hunches. They may have gut feelings. But what they need is evidence," said Boise Police spokeswoman Lynn Hightower.

So Vicki has made it her life's mission to find out what happened to Ahren, doing what she can to keep his dissapearance in the public eye.

She is organizing a vigil for Sunday, December 4th. It's scheduled to begin 7:00 p.m. at the YMCA West on Discovery Way in Boise. There will be a candle lighting and balloon release outside, weather permitting.

When Ahren went missing, he was 5'10", 180 lbs, with black hair and brown eyes, and a scar on his lieft arm.

If you have any information about Ahren's disappearance, please contact Boise Police at (208) 377-6500.

By Nicole Navarro BOISE - No matter how old your child is, there are some bonds that can never be broken.

"I have a mother's love," said Vicki Barnard, Ahren Barnard's mother. "I don't think there's anything greater in this world."

Five years ago, Ahren vanished without a trace at the age of 35. He was last seen at the McDonald's at Cole and Overland Road. Ahren's mother, Vicki, now lives in Portland.

"I, to this day, do not know what happened to my son," Vicki said.

Boise Police said they cannot point to foul play yet, but they do believe Ahren is endangered. Investigators continue to follow up on leads from the public.

"Detectives do believe strongly that someone is out there and over the past five years, they've been holding in, for whatever reason, some information that could help provide those answers to Ahren's family, to this community, as to what did happen to him," said Lynn Hightower, Boise Police Department spokesperson.

"People think it gets easier," Vicki said. "It does not get easier. It gets harder as time goes on."

Vicki believes the search for her son has often fallen on deaf ears, but she remains hopeful that one day Ahren will be found. Reminders of his disappearance, including billboards, are scattered throughout town.

"If all they do is look at a picture, the loved ones of those missing will be very, very grateful," Vicki said.

Anyone with information on Ahren's case is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 343-COPS.

Police believe foul play involved in Boise man's disappearance

Police believe foul play involved in Boise man's disappearance

Gallery.See all 2 photos »


BOISE -- It has been six years since anyone has seen Ahren "Benji" Barnard.

Boise Police investigators believe foul play may be involved in the Boise man's disappearance.

“Investigators have gathered information over the course of this investigation and within the past few months that leads us to believe that Aaron Bernard’s disappearance was not his doing,” said Sgt. Mark Barnett of the Boise Police Violent Crimes Unit.

Barnard was last seen on Dec. 4, 2004 at the McDonald’s restaurant at Cole and Overland roads in Boise.

Officers say the circumstances surrounding his disappearance are suspicious and are asking for the public's help.

“We’ve thought for a long time that something has probably happened to Ahren since there’s been absolutely no trace of him in the past six years," said Barnett. "But evidence increasingly suggests foul play. Ahren’s disappearance is suspicious, and that’s keeping this case a priority for detectives in the Violent Crimes Unit."

Barnard is 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, with dark hair frosted blond on top, brown eyes and a scar on his left arm. He may have a mustache and goatee. He was last seen wearing jeans and a black leather jacket

A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for information that helps police solve this case. Call Crime Stoppers at 343-COPS if you have any info.

Beginning today, digital billboards in Boise and Nampa will display information about Barnard and urge the public to help find him.
