Summary

- Daughter experienced a mental health episode after job loss; lacks vital medication.
- A recent sighting of a woman near Ballard may be a promising lead.
A father is desperately searching for his 28-year-old daughter, Violet Benjamin, who disappeared in Seattle nearly two weeks ago. Violet was last seen on February 28 after experiencing a mental health episode following her job loss.
Her father, Yobie Benjamin, flew from San Francisco to lead the search, emphasizing that Violet is without her necessary medication for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a condition causing constant pain. He has designed a website, FindViolet.com, to help locate her.
A recent sighting of a woman wrapped in a blanket near Seaview Avenue on March 10 is considered the most promising lead. Violet, who is 5-foot-10 and slim, does not have access to a cellphone or money. Her boyfriend is reportedly assisting in the search efforts.
Yobie Benjamin expressed his belief that his daughter is alive and is continuing to scour the Seattle area for clues. He also shared a message for parents of children with mental health challenges, stressing the importance of seeking immediate help and ensuring medication adherence for manageable conditions.
