Daniel Lee Newville, 18, was last seen in the early hours of August 1, 2002, after attending a house party in New London, Minnesota. He had been released from jail the day before after serving time for a probation violation. After leaving the party on foot he planned to go to another residence about a mile away; he declined an offered ride and never arrived.

Daniel’s disappearance was not reported for over a month, which delayed the investigation. Some people at the party later suggested possible drug use, but those claims were never confirmed. Multiple searches and investigations since then have produced no significant clues. The Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office keeps the case open and the family holds annual walks in his memory to raise awareness.

If anyone remembers Daniel, saw him that night, or has information that could help, please share what you know.
