Daniel L. Fraher, 47, was last seen in St. Anne, Illinois, on November 26, 1996. Employed at Kankakee Nursery south of Aroma Park, he left work that evening reportedly to buy a soda and never returned. At the time he disappeared he was described as 5 feet 10 inches, about 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a blue coat, jeans and a gray stocking hat.

Both his work and personal vehicles were later found abandoned at his business, and his wallet with cash was inside one of the vehicles, a detail that argued against robbery as a motive. His family provided DNA samples to assist identification if unknown remains are recovered, and the Kankakee County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation. The case is listed in NamUs as MP7387.

Anyone who knew Daniel, saw him in St. Anne on November 26, 1996, or has information about his whereabouts is asked to contact Detective Brady Bertrand at the Kankakee County Sheriff’s Department.
