Military Cold Cases and the Missing

From his father Kevin Bennett:

My son, Cameron Ellis Bennett, was found dead in his barracks on 8/26/23 in Groton, Connecticut. He was 21 years old and awaiting orders. The Navy told me it was a suicide, however, the medical examiner’s report revealed a completely different story. The NCIS promised to investigate and report the findings. At this point, I have received no information and I’ve called the NCIS lead investigator multiple times, left messages, with no response. I just can’t seem to let go. Mike Johnson sent representatives to his funeral, I’ve started a scholarship in his name, trying to turn a positive from this. The kicker is, his older brother joined the Navy because of him and has thrived! He will be graduating the nuclear engineering program in April. It’s an honest love/hate relationship with the Navy. Cameron Ellis Bennett, age 21, passed August 26, 2023. He was born February 7, 2002 in Shreveport, Louisiana. We have created a Website for Cameron! If you have any information please reach out us! Thank you

****UPDATE****** UPDATE from Gavins' mother..... I would like to thank each and everyone who shared my post. As mother I received the worse possible news. Gavin was found but he is no longer with us. I don't have a lot of info on it yet. I was trying figure out how to mute the comments but it's not allowing me to so. This is the worse. Please, allow myself and his sister to grieve properly. I will post later for friends and family when his services will be.

***UPDATE: 03/17: I drove to Denver to search for Caleb in hopes he may still be in the area, as there had been no tracking since 03/01. After canvassing a few places, I went to have dinner, and while eating Caleb responded to my messages. He dropped a pin to his location and he was only a 25 minute drive away. He’s with me now and we just got back home today. His feet were so sore he could barely walk when I got him, but other than that he just needs emotional healing.

My son, Caleb Lawrence, PFC, has been missing from Fort Gregg Adams since 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 22, 2025. He hasn’t responded to any phone calls or messages from family members or military personnel.

Praise you Lord, He was found safe!

Missing People in America was founded in 2018 and has grown into the most-followed missing person organization in the United States. In 2024, we created over 6,000 flyers and launched our interactive database in March. In 2024, 5,144 cases were added to the database with 2,928 cases being resolved by the end of 2024. We actively interview the families of missing persons, hosting live interviews every other week. Every two months, we conduct a “State Week,” traveling to a selected state to interview families on location and produce three documentaries. Below are ways you can support MPIA and its volunteers.
