Daniel Robinson was working in the field as a hydrogeologist in the desert of Buckeye, Arizona, when he disappeared on the morning of June 23rd, 2021. In the days prior to his disappearance, Daniel exhibited a string of odd behaviors that his family and friends were confused and alarmed by.
With very little effort on the part of the Buckeye Police Department, Daniel's father, David Robinson, immediately made the 2,000 mile trip from his home in South Carolina, to Arizona to lead the charge in the search for his son. Since June 2021, David Robinson has been the driving force behind the investigation into his son's disappearance.
Daniel is still missing, and his family deserves answers.
If you have any information regarding Daniel's disappearance, please contact the anonymous tip line set up by the Robinson family at (844) 602-0660 or send an email to contactus@pleasehelpfinddaniel.com

In October 1985, 17-year-old Michele Avila disappeared after leaving her home to hang out with three of her good friends. Three days after she was last seen, Michele was found in an area of Angeles National Forest known as Colby Canyon. Despite several suspects making it onto the police department's radar, it would be three years before an unexpected confession would bring Missy's true killers to justice.
But even as recently as a few years ago, Missy's family has been fighting for justice for Missy in the aftermath of this horrific tragedy.
