Daniel Simon was 17 when he disappeared from Baxter, Tennessee, on July 15, 2022. He’s described as 6 feet 0 inches tall, about 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, and is of American Indian and Alaska Native descent. The last reported sighting had him running toward Coon Hunt Road.

The Baxter Police Department has handled the investigation since the beginning, and his case has been entered into missing persons databases. Public details are scarce, and Daniel’s family and community say the lack of media attention and few visible leads have increased their frustration and worry.

Very little is known beyond that last sighting. If anyone in the Baxter area remembers seeing Daniel on or after July 15, 2022, please come forward with information. How might renewed local attention help generate new leads?
