Daniel Reaves, 25, of Madison, Indiana, disappeared on May 4, 2008 after being last seen by his girlfriend, Sara, at her home the night before. They spent the evening watching television; when Sara woke about 4 AM Daniel was gone. A text from him that morning read I love you, but he did not answer her return calls.

A week later his car was found unlocked and abandoned near Clifty Falls State Park with his wallet, credit cards and ID inside. His keys and cell phone were missing. An extensive search of the park turned up no evidence linking Daniel to the area. Family members say he would not have gone hiking alone at 4 AM without telling anyone and would not have left his identification behind; they also do not believe he was depressed or facing personal problems then.

Authorities continue to investigate. Anyone with information that could help locate Daniel is asked to contact the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department or the Indiana State Police.
