Daniel Tovar, 16, was last seen in Morro Bay, California, on October 16, 2024. His father reported him missing the next day. Law enforcement believes he may still be in San Luis Obispo County but that he has been actively avoiding contact with his parents and the authorities.

Tovar is described as 5 feet, 7 inches tall, about 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes and a chipped front right tooth. He was last seen wearing a brown Pro Club T-shirt, blue jeans, and black Nike Air Force shoes. Family initially suspected he had gone to Oregon with an acquaintance, but recent phone information suggests he is likely back on the Central Coast.

The Morro Bay Police Department is investigating; anyone with information is asked to call 772-6225 or Detective Christian Galaz at 772-6229. Did anyone in the area see Daniel after October 16, 2024?
