Summary
What happened, as the record shows.
Daniel Robinson, 24, a geologist, vanished from a remote work site in Buckeye, Arizona, on June 23, 2021. About a month later, his Jeep was found crashed in a steep ravine with the airbags deployed; clothes, boots, wallet, and phone were scattered outside the vehicle, and no blood was found at the scene. The Buckeye Police Department has said it found no evidence of foul play. No suspects have been named, no arrests made, and no charges filed in five years. His father, David Robinson II, an Army veteran, runs the Please Help Find Daniel effort with a 24/7 tip line at 844-602-0660, hired a private investigator, and is running for the U.S. Congress in South Carolina's 2nd District to create legislation supporting families of missing Americans. In 2026, new investigators and fresh forensic evidence were reported as a potential breakthrough, and his father has detailed his belief that the crash scene was staged.
