Daniel Michael Kahle was five months old when he was last seen at his home in Lakewood Township, New Jersey, on October 1, 2007. He was described as about one foot eight inches tall, weighing roughly 13 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. Authorities classify the case as a family abduction and believe Daniel was taken by his non-custodial mother, Julia Kahle, who was described as a white female, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 130 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

The Lakewood Police Department led the initial investigation, and information was shared with the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit. Despite ongoing efforts and an open investigation, Daniel and Julia’s whereabouts remained unknown and no public breakthrough had been reported. The case leaves many unanswered questions about why Julia took her infant son and what became of them.

If anyone has information about Daniel or Julia Kahle from around October 2007 or afterward, please come forward to help bring answers to the family.
