An Illinois family is seeking tips in connection with the disappearance of a 59-year-old man who has been missing for a little over a month.
According to police, Daniel Davis vanished from the Blue Island area on November 26. Despite an active police investigation and an outpouring of community support, the circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain a mystery, according to FOX 32.
New details shared by Davis’s daughter, Wendy Davis, suggested that a medical emergency may have triggered her father’s disappearance. On the morning he disappeared, Daniel had reportedly been involved in a car accident while commuting to his job.
Although he appeared stable enough to continue to his workplace afterward, his family now suspects the collision caused a delayed injury or disorientation.
The collision happened on November 24 at 115 Bourbon Street in Merrionette Park, NBC Chicago reported. After Davis refused medical care, police dropped Davis off at the Bourbon Street bar where he worked.
Davis was later seen in Ring doorbell footage, in the early hours of November 25, after leaving work on foot. He reportedly looked disoriented in additional footage from November 26.
Wendy Davis expressed concern regarding her father’s mental and physical state, Fox 32 reported.
“The biggest danger, his mental state with him being medically, impaired either a stroke or a fall or whatever is happening in his head, is the biggest danger to him because he doesn’t have a sense of where or who he is,” Wendy Davis, said.
The family fears he may be suffering from a stroke, a concussion from a fall, or another form of medical impairment that has left him unable to identify himself or his surroundings.
Authorities and loved ones have pursued several leads over the past four weeks:
Early in the investigation, concerns arose that Davis might have fallen into the Cal-Sag Channel. The Blue Island Fire Department conducted an extensive search of the water using sonar technology and boats, but no evidence of him was discovered.
The Facebook group “Find Dan Davis” was established in hopes of raising awareness and generating leads. There are over 15,000 members on the page who share information and monitor their local areas for any sign of him.
The investigation into Daniel Davis’s whereabouts remains open. The family is offering a cash reward for information that leads to his location. They are asking residents in the vicinity of Union Road to review their porch or business cameras for any activity starting from late November.
The public is encouraged to share Dan Davis’s information, and if you see someone matching Daniel’s description, contact police immediately.
