I would have thought a father of two would be reported missing fairly sharpish - lots of family mentioned in this article, but no significant other. I wonder if he's separated etc. and this is why it took a so many days to be reported?

It's always so sad when it's days before it's reported. A wee look on Facebook shows he's loved massively by his family and friends.

Goose Green Place is right on the river Forth - very concerning imo. I hope this doesn't turn into a case like Alice Byrne.

my first thought is had he been drinking alcohol and was he walking near water

Don’t forget Dean Conner, he also went missing near here a couple of years ago at the same time of year.

Well, this is an interesting turn of events. It is a shame, though, that the article is so vague - there is no indication as to exactly how Daniel is being linked to the other investigation.

Agree that it's a strange turn of events and that the story is too vague.

I also found it odd that in this article and previous ones, LE mentioned people checking sheds and outbuildings. Previously I had kind of associated that with appeals for adults with dementia or similar disabilities. Now I wonder if they said that because they thought he might be hiding (either for his own safety or from LE)? MOO.

 

[Sall2021]

Very interesting, would like to know how they’re linked.

 

[pokerowan]

Blimey. No wonder there was an appeal for possible sightings from taxi drivers. This is extremely concerning and the background for the Webley case sounds like an absolute mess of events.

Theres loads of articles about this drug Barron David Togher. It’s not sounding good for Daniel.

A scottish lad named Fraser disappeared? Are we sure time travel was not involved? Sorry that was in poor taste. I hope they find him.

From the Scottish Sun article above


A source said: “After leaving the party Danny was seen on camera by himself on the High Street

“It shows a car waiting a traffic lights flashing it’s headlights. Danny is then seen running away from it.

“He keeps going in the direction of Musselburgh Links golf course and it’s understood he then went over a wee fence with the River Esk immediately on the other side.

“It seems like he was spooked by the car and was worried someone was maybe after him.

“He’d had a good drink and was probably feeling overly paranoid after someone from his local area was killed recently.

“It turns out the guys in the car were just flashing at the traffic lights to try and get them to change to green quicker.”

 

[Smccat]

I think the paranoia would have been very real given what had happened to Marc Webley on NYE.

I don't know what to make of "flashing at traffic lights to make them change quicker" though. Must have been a car full of kids.

If the CCTV shows him hopping a fence by the River it's probably inevitable he fell. Probably no one in their right mind would have jumped in but after a few pints who knows.

I feel very sorry for his family. He has two wee ones.

Some traffic light have sensors on them
