The search continues for an Arizona man who disappeared in 2021.
Daniel Robinson, a geologist, was last seen leaving his worksite at a well in Buckeye on June 23, 2021. TK reported that three weeks later, his Jeep was found crashed in a ravine less than three miles away from his worksite.
While Robinson’s belongings were located in his vehicle, he is still unaccounted for over four years later.
Buckeye police said cellphone data placed Robison at the crash site on the morning he vanished. Though Tempe police helped analyze Robinson’s personal devices and work computer, it yielded no information about his whereabouts.
Robinson’s father reported him missing, telling police that his son mentioned meeting a woman and being in love with her. Robinson’s father and a co-worker who was the last person to see him said he had been acting odd.
The woman reportedly denied being in a relationship with Robinson and said she only knew him for less than two weeks. She claimed she ordered Instacart and Robinson was the delivery person. She stated that she and a friend were drunk and invited him inside.
The woman said Robinson texted her that he had left something at her home. She said that he began acting “creepy,” showing up to her home unannounced before retrieving the item without her permission. The woman also claimed she texted him, asking him to stop coming unannounced, and he texted “I love you.”
Robinson texted the woman saying he accidentally left something of his there. That’s when the woman says Robinson started acting “creepy” by showing up unannounced and getting his item without her permission.
The woman allegedly texted Robinson about coming to her home unannounced. Robinson responded, “I love you,” and asked if she was at home.
The last text Robinson allegedly sent to the woman read, “The world can get better, but I’ll have to take all the time I can, or we can, whatever to name it. I’ll either see you again or never see you again.”
It’s not clear how long before his disappearance he met the woman, who has not been publicly identified.
Buckeye police said there was no evidence indicating there was a passenger in Robinson’s Jeep. Additionally, they also stated that foul play was not suspected in this case.
Robinson, who was 24 when he vanished, was described as standing 5 feet, 8 inches tall, weighing 165 pounds, and having brown hair and brown eyes. He also is missing part of his right arm, below the elbow.
Anyone with information regarding Robinson’s disappearance or whereabouts is asked to call Buckeye police at 623-349-6411.
