Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP3150) and 4 other sources
Daniel Carl Baptiste, a 51-year-old man, was last seen on September 7, 2005, in Orlando, Florida. Baptiste, who had a medical condition that could cause confusion and disorientation, is classified as a missing endangered person. He was believed to have been attempting to take a Lynx bus to the food stamp office located on Washington Street in Orlando, but he never arrived. Baptiste lived in East Orange County, and authorities think he may have gotten lost in the area near Curry Ford and Goldenrod Road.

At the time of his disappearance, Baptiste, who required medication for his condition, was described as a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 5'7" and weighing around 160 pounds. His medical issues classified him as disabled, and his family was particularly concerned about his vulnerability given his potential disorientation without his medication. Despite investigations by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, little information has emerged about his fate, and he remains missing to this day.

The circumstances of his disappearance suggest he may have been confused and wandered off, but no significant clues have been found since. The case remains open, and law enforcement continues to seek any leads that could help bring closure to his family.
