Daniel Torres Ventura, 20, disappeared from his Springfield Road home in Columbia, South Carolina on May 10, 2008. He was working on putting license plates on his vehicle and stepped outside with a screwdriver; about 30 minutes later his aunt found the car and the tools where he left them but Daniel and the plates were gone. He is described as a Caucasian male with black hair, between 68 and 69 inches tall, and weighing about 185 to 195 pounds.

The disappearance is notable for how abruptly it happened and for the personal items left behind, leaving a narrow 30-minute window that family and investigators have been unable to explain. The Richland County Sheriff’s Department handled the investigation, but few public details have emerged about leads or sightings since 2008.

Does anyone who lived near Springfield Road in May 2008 or who may have seen Daniel that day have information that could help bring clarity to what happened?
