Daniel Curtis Ladd, 34, was last seen in Cranbrook, British Columbia, on August 18 or 19, 2016. According to the family’s account, he prepared dinner for his young daughter, said he would step out for a short while, and did not return; the child, then five or six, spent the night alone and woke to find him gone. Authorities believe Daniel met with several people after leaving home but did not come back.

Daniel is described as 6 feet 1 inch, of interracial or Aboriginal descent, with short brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a short-sleeved white and black plaid collared shirt and black and white plaid shorts when last seen. The Cranbrook RCMP have been investigating since he was reported missing, and the family continues to make public appeals. They do not believe he disappeared voluntarily and say people know what happened.

If anyone in Cranbrook that August remembers Daniel, saw him leaving, or has any information about people he might have met that night, please come forward.
