Daniel Farrar was 63 and living in an assisted living facility in Westbrook, Connecticut, when he left to get lunch on September 11, 2014. He walked out around noon with about $20 and wearing blue jeans and a grey sweatshirt. Staff and family say he was seen at a local liquor store buying a bottle and then did not return.

Farrar had health and mobility issues after a stroke, including a limp that caused him to drag his right foot and permanent curling of the last three fingers on his right hand. His daughters, Jodi Hancock and Tracy Dickson, describe him as well known in the community, fond of reading, and a longtime AA participant who had relapsed years before and experienced periods of homelessness while staying in contact with his family.

The day before he disappeared he had an altercation with another resident and threatened to return to New Haven’s streets. The Connecticut State Police continue to list the case as open and review it periodically. If anyone has information about Daniel Farrar’s whereabouts, please contact the Connecticut State Police.
