Case Description

Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9285) and 13 other sources
Daniel Lee Newville, aged 18, was last seen in the early hours of August 1, 2002, after attending a house party in New London, Minnesota. He had been released from jail the previous day after serving time for a probation violation. After leaving the party on foot, Daniel planned to visit another residence about a mile away, but despite being offered a ride, he refused and never made it to his destination. He has not been seen or heard from since.

Daniel's disappearance went unreported for over a month, which delayed the start of the investigation. His family has long suspected foul play, though no solid leads have emerged. Some at the party suggested possible drug use, but these claims have never been confirmed. In the years since, multiple searches and investigations have yielded no significant clues regarding Daniel's whereabouts.

Despite the long passage of time, Daniel’s case remains open. His family continues to seek answers, holding annual walks in his memory to raise awareness. The Kandiyohi County Sheriff's Office remains involved in the case, hoping new information will one day surface.
