Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP37368) and 8 other sources
Daniel Joseph Frank Foster, a 28-year-old man, was last seen in San Diego, California, on February 7, 2017. At the time of his disappearance, he was living in the Barrio Logan area. He was supposed to meet a friend for a ride to a doctor's appointment in Anza the following morning but never showed up. His family, worried after not hearing from him, reported him missing on March 3, 2017. Daniel may have been accompanied by his dog, Apollo, a blond German Shepherd mix.

Daniel's disappearance is considered suspicious, and foul play has not been ruled out. He had recently returned to San Diego after living in New Hampshire and was experiencing homelessness at the time, staying around downtown San Diego and the Barrio Logan area. His family expressed concern that he may have gotten involved with dangerous individuals or activities. His mother, Nancy Foster, has made public appeals for information, emphasizing that it is out of character for Daniel to disappear without contact.

Despite extensive searches and some reports of possible sightings, Daniel remains missing, and there have been few significant leads. His family continues to search for answers, hoping to resolve the mystery of his disappearance.
