Zachary Vaughn Daniels, 38, was last seen on February 1, 2023, in Eureka, California, where he had been living a transient lifestyle around Eureka and Humboldt County. Family members reported losing contact and did not file a report until June 2023. On July 24, 2023, the California Highway Patrol located Daniels’ vehicle being driven by an unlicensed person who said they had last seen Daniels about a week earlier. Daniels himself has not been located since the February sighting.

Daniels is described as a Caucasian male about 6 feet 3 inches tall and 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, a scar near his left eye, a snake and rose tattoo on his left forearm, and eyeglasses. His case remains open and investigators are asking anyone with information to contact the Eureka Police Department.
