Dad says, ‘I have to find my son’
July 28
To Note:
•went missing June 23 after he arrived at his job site in the desert west of Sun Valley Parkway, just north of Cactus Road, in Buckeye
•Daniel had not told anyone where he was going or why he was leaving
•he oversees many sites in remote desert locations, often working in extreme conditions and traveling long distances to work on projects
•Daniel’s Jeep was discovered by a rancher on his property approximately 4 miles southwest of the job site
•Clothing, his cellphone, wallet and keys were found at the scene
•David (his father) said he doesn’t think the investigating is progressing, so
he has hired a private investigator and a desert search-and-rescue team and printed missing person fliers
•According to Daniel: LE
didn’t do a forensic-type investigation, because they didn’t see any blood in the vehicle
•Due to the father’s concerns, LE then decided to
swab the vehicle to look for fingerprints at the police compound where the vehicle is stored
•Once detectives finish processing the vehicle, David’s
forensics team will scour it and go back through Daniel’s cellphone and computer
•LE is working with Civil Air Patrol, with
plans to review the aerial photos and data to determine if further searches in that area are appropriate
