Daniel visited Tim Hortons, then Walmart, then Tim Hortons again, and was then picked up by someone who gave him a ride to the area of his aunt's house. He seemed out of it that evening as well, calling a dog by the wrong name and saying he was "getting married," which was apparently not true. On The Vanished episode, family suggest Daniel "seemed to think people were after him" during the months before he disappeared.
This quote was taken from the Ws thread for
Marshal Iwaasa. I strongly believe their cases are related. The man who reportedly seen DR and MI together with a "sketchy guy" is known around the Squamish area. He seems to hold a good reputation and has been a part of the community for his whole life. He would have no reason to lie, and he would be able to recognize someone who didn't appear to be from the Squamish area, as it is a smaller community.
Does anybody know WHO gave Daniel a ride? Perhaps whoever it was, was the same man who was reportedly seen with MI and DR at "That Irish Place". Maybe Daniel convinced him to let him go see his aunt one last time and it was DR's last ditch effort in getting some kind of help from family or LE?
That could explain why DR's car was later found abandoned, idling, with the drivers door open. Maybe he attempted to escape but the man caught up to him before he could successfully escape.
Just my speculation, Danny's case is a big mystery and there are a lot of missing pieces.
I did a deep dive into this Facebook as it is public, and he posted a lot. He seemed to be someone who wore his heart on his sleeve and was open about his struggles in life. That being said, its also very clear he was a HUGE family man. I don't believe Daniel went missing of his own volition. The reason I think that is because he has young children and he knows what its like to grow up without parents. I do not believe he would put his children through what he had to go through.
Like I said, JMO and MOO... if anyone has anything to add please do. It is important that we keep these cases alive. Daniel is out there somewhere and he needs to be found.
Also I highly recommend looking into the possible connections between Daniel's case and Marshal's case. Especially the fact that some of the items found at Marshal's burnt truck site are Daniels, according to his family. On
MI's Facebook Group, DR's ex Keyleyla said she recognizes the black work boots. MI's BIL Dawson asked her to confirm size, and she was able to give an approximate size, to which Dawson said the same items DR's family are claiming to be Daniels are the items MI's family originally told LE they DO NOT BELIEVE TO BE MARSHALS!
Either LE has totally botched these two cases or they are working hard behind the scenes because they have more leads, clues, and evidence that they are making known to the families and public. Of course, I hope it is the latter, but until we know we HAVE to keep looking for answers.
