Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP656) and 10 other sources
Bennett Irvin Wall, a 23-year-old man, was last seen in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on February 1, 1981. Wall lived in the 900 block of Louisiana SE in the city. Despite his disappearance occurring in 1981, his family did not report him missing until January 25, 1984, nearly three years later. His case has remained unsolved, and very little is known about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

At the time of his disappearance, Bennett was described as being 6'3" tall, weighing 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. No specific details about what he was wearing or any personal items he may have had with him were recorded. Authorities have classified his case as endangered missing, but the exact reasons for his disappearance and whether any foul play was involved remain unknown.

Given the long delay in reporting Bennett's disappearance, it has been challenging for investigators to gather significant leads. His case remains open, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Albuquerque Police Department.
