Daphne Webb was 21 months old when she was reported missing from Oakland, California, on July 10, 2013. Her father, John Anthony Webb (listed as John "Anthony" Webb in reports), said he left Daphne in his car with her elderly grandmother, who suffered from dementia, while he briefly went into a store. He told police the child was gone when he returned. A witness described seeing a woman walking away with a child matching Daphne’s description, and an AMBER Alert was issued, but the woman was never identified.

Investigators arrested Daphne’s father on a felony child endangerment charge for leaving her unattended in the vehicle, though no charges were filed. Some witnesses later said they had not seen Daphne for several weeks before the alleged abduction. Law enforcement, including the FBI, conducted searches but found no trace of the child. Ten months after the disappearance, John Webb died by suicide; authorities said they suspected his involvement but did not develop enough evidence before his death. Daphne’s whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone knew Daphne’s routines, who cared for her, or saw her in Oakland in the weeks before July 10, 2013, please come forward with information.
