MPIA: Have you seen Daniel DeChant?

His fiancee has submitted him to NaMus, awaiting entry. I will add it to the thread when they post it.
 
Do we know what he needs medication for, is this something he can be without for a wee while or something he needs on a daily basis?

No. Sadly, his fiancee says if he doesn't get his meds, he will possibly have a full psychotic break (on his fb, I won't link). So here's from an approved source: "DeChant has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and has been out of his medication."

 
We should hear more about this, so many MP cases just go silent after an initial post.

Found additional FB accounts ( I include all of them for convenience)

 
I found it odd that in his Facebook posts he had himself as getting married in 2021 and then getting engaged (to the same person) a year later, so I went to look up any marriage records. Didn't find any but found several criminal records, some of which might explain why he uses a bicycle for transportation - he may not have a current license. Wisconsin Circuit Court Access

Andy (the fiancée) posted on her site that she’s a female. I wanted to correct it for the sake of clarity. I thought she was a he based on her name, my mistake.
Regardless, this is one of those cases I have some hope for, because Daniel may be in a homeless shelter or hospital due to lack of medications causing confusion.
 
@GraceG with the history of mental illness I am not surprised by the criminal history. He looks like he was self medicating, and the results of that are often really bad. It also looks like he was medicated and sober, thus remarrying.

I was wondering if anyone knows if law enforcement sends notices to homeless shelters and hospitals upon a missing person notification in their area? If not, perhaps the family should. I know Ryan Withee's mom did that with a photo & explanation. I know they can't tell you if the person is there if the person doesn't want you to know, but I don't know that he's hiding, I think he's just off his meds and confused?

Daniel has been added to NamUs.

I added it to NaMus entered into NamUs 12/28/24… case created is 12/28, so it’s mine. Glad to see it was approved. The delays… you know I really think law enforcement wants to try all angles before posting to NaMus, and that bothers me.
