Daniel Daryl Standifer, known as Danny or Dan, was last seen on the evening of September 24, 1994, in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indianapolis. Witnesses place him near 65th and College at about 6:00 p.m. after leaving the Stone Mug Cafe, where he had been playing pool and was involved in an altercation in the parking lot. He left on foot and was expected to get a ride to his brother’s birthday party but never arrived.

At the time he disappeared he was a white male, 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches, 160–165 pounds, with brown hair (sometimes worn in a ponytail) and hazel eyes. Distinguishing marks included spider web tattoos on both elbows, a scorpion on the outer right forearm, a small gap between his upper front teeth, and a previously fractured jaw. He was wearing a light blue t-shirt, blue cut-off shorts, white socks, white Converse shoes, and a gold watch.

Family members say Daniel led an erratic life and struggled with substance abuse, which delayed alarm at his absence; they now believe he is no longer alive. He left four children, and some relatives have suggested his two sons, later incarcerated for separate violent crimes, might hold information. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department filed a report on May 10, 2000, and the disappearance remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the Broad Ripple area see Daniel on the night of September 24, 1994, or have information about his movements after he left the bar?
