The Search For Daniel Robinson

CBS news reports:

The 24-year-old geologist was last seen leaving a job site in the area of Sun Valley Parkway and Cactus Road in Buckeye, Arizona, at around 9:15 a.m. on June 23. He was reported missing that same day, and authorities launched a massive search.

Local police, along with outside agencies, covered more than 70 square miles using “UTVs, cadaver dogs and air support including a drone and a helicopter,” police said in a press release last week.

Daniel Robinson’s Car Found

On July 19, Robinson’s Jeep was found approximately four miles southwest of the job site where Robinson was last seen, police said.

According to investigators, the Jeep seemed to have rolled over and landed on its side.

The airbags were deployed and “initial evidence indicates Daniel was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident,” police said in a press release at the time. Robinson’s cell phone, wallet and keys were all found in the Jeep.

Then, just over a week later, “a human skull was located in an area south of where the Jeep had been recovered,” police said.

But authorities determined it was not Robinson’s skull.

Family Asks For Public’s Help

Robinson’s father, David Robinson, told KPHO-TV that although his son’s case is different from that of Petito — a 22-year-old woman who went missing while on a cross-country trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, before her body was found Sunday in Wyoming — he is hopeful that the national attention given to Petito will renew interest in finding his son.

“I’ve been up all night, emailing, texting, reaching out to whoever,” David Robinson said. “Just seeing all of a sudden movement, it’s a good feeling.”

“Daniel has an innate passion for adventure and is known to travel inopportune moments. However, he always communicates with friends and family about his travel plans. It has been eight weeks with no leads or evidence towards Daniel’s disappearance. Initially, a missing person report has been filed that same evening on the day he was last seen and we have utilized all avenues that law enforcement could contribute.”

Robinson’s family is offering a $10,000 reward for information that helps find him. They have also set up GoFundMe that has raised over $56,000 to assist in costs associated with the search.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Buckeye Police Department non-emergency number 623-349-6400.

The body of Navy veteran Jarvis McIntyre has been reportedly found in a Texas park after he was reported missing two weeks ago.

McIntyre, 26, was reportedly last seen running in John James Park on June 8 and he was heard in a 911 call saying he was being chased by a “racist”, his mother told local outlet KENS5.

McIntyre’s mother, Monikki Williams Tippet, told the outlet that a body found days later at the San Antonio park had tattoos resembling those on her missing son.

Tippet says she and her family believes someone hurt her son because he was Black and gay.

“I want answers now. I want this person found,” she said, adding that her son “didn’t deserve this. They took my baby’s life for no reason.”

McIntyre is from St. Louis, Texas and had flown to San Antonio to visit his two sisters during his birthday weekend.

He was supposed to return home on Sunday 9 June, but he tragically never made it home.

The family said they want the San Antonio Police Department to do more to help find the person responsible.

“They are treating this like a murder case,” Tippet said. “It is being treated like a murder case.”

Anyone who knows any information about this case is asked to contact the San Antonio Police Department at (210) 207-7660.

Note: This article was updated June 21, to reflect new revelations in the case and McIntyre’s body has been confirmed as the body found in the park.

Missing details for Marine Samuel Muturi Wanjiru

Corporal Samuel Wanjiru, 26, of Worcester, Mass., was swept away by ocean currents while being in the water at La Pared beach in Luquillo.

The Coast Guard launched helicopters and aircraft to look for Wanjiru, but those search efforts were unsuccessful. The active search was called off on April 1.

At the time of his disappearance, Wanjiru was vacationing with his partner of five years, Natasha Castillo-Vargas.

Castillo-Vargas, her father, and Wanjiru’s mother are still in Puerto Rico, returning to the beach daily where Wanjiru went missing, continuing to look for him.

GoFundMe

She has since started a GoFundMe campaign to help the family with expenses and search efforts while they remain in Puerto Rico.

“Samuel’s mother and I are trying to get as much resources and help as we can because we will not give up hope in finding our Samuel. Please, anything anyone can help with would be most appreciated.”

In addition to donations, the family asks the public for prayers and love during this “devastating and heart aching time.”

“We are firm believers in God as Samuel is too and we have faith that he will be found. Thank you for your support!”
