Daniel George Skenandore was a 40-year-old male, an American Indian / Alaska Native man, when he was last seen in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on April 26, 1996. Online missing-person records identify him as missing from Green Bay in Brown County, and the Wisconsin Department of Justice Clearinghouse states that he was last seen leaving the residence he shared with his live-in girlfriend on Gross Street at about 2:00 p.m. that day, reportedly to go to work.
Later that evening, at approximately 8:00 p.m., Daniel called his girlfriend and told her he would be working late. That phone call became the last confirmed contact described in public sources; after it, he did not return home, and he has not been seen or heard from since.
When Daniel’s girlfriend could not reach him and days passed without contact, she reported him missing on May 6, 1996. The Green Bay Police Department is listed as the investigating agency, with the agency case number 96-006362, and the Wisconsin Clearinghouse directs anyone with information to contact Green Bay police. In the years since Daniel disappeared, the publicly available details have remained limited, but the timeline that has been preserved is stark: he left home in the afternoon, called that evening to say he would be late, and then vanished from the life he had been living in Green Bay.
Daniel was also known by the nickname or alias Dan Green, according to public missing-person listings. He is described in NamUs-related and advocacy records as having black hair, worn long in a ponytail at the time he disappeared, and brown eyes in official Wisconsin and NamUs data, while some secondary summaries list his eyes differently. His height is generally reported as around 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches, with weight estimates varying by source; NamUs data lists about 160 to 170 pounds, while the Wisconsin DOJ poster lists 130 pounds. He had several identifying features that could help distinguish him: a crippled or disabled left hand, a tomahawk tattoo on his left shoulder, the word Oneida tattooed vertically on his right shoulder, and additional tattoos on his back and upper right arm for which public descriptions are not specific.
One of the few additional threads in Daniel’s case concerns possible travel. The Charley Project reports that around the time he disappeared, Daniel had spoken about taking a road trip west, possibly to Wyoming, with friends. Friends reportedly said they last saw him in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, a community several hours west of Green Bay. That detail introduced another possible place connected to his final known movements, but public sources do not provide a clear explanation of what happened after that reported sighting, whether he continued west, returned toward Green Bay, met with someone else, or encountered danger along the way.
Over time, Daniel’s case has remained in missing-person systems rather than fading entirely from public record. NamUs lists him as Daniel George Skenandore, case MP36694, with a date of last contact of April 26, 1996, and the Wisconsin Department of Justice Clearinghouse continues to publish his missing-person information. The attached case data also indicates that a family reference DNA sample from his mother was completed and uploaded for searching, including mitochondrial DNA and STR profiles, an important step in long-term missing-person investigations because it can help compare unidentified remains or future evidence if it is ever located.
Daniel Skenandore’s disappearance began with what sounded like an ordinary workday: a man leaving his home in Green Bay, telling the person closest to him that he was going to work, and later calling to say he would be late. It became a lasting mystery when he never came back and no confirmed public account explained where he went after that final call. The known facts leave his loved ones and investigators with only fragments: his last seen date of April 26, 1996, his report date of May 6, 1996, the Gross Street residence in Green Bay, the possible connection to Black River Falls and travel west, and the identifying details that might one day help someone recognize him or connect him to evidence. The case remains a painful and unresolved absence in the public record, centered on a man who had a name, a life, relationships, and a community, and whose disappearance still depends on anyone with information coming forward so that the uncertainty surrounding Daniel George Skenandore can finally be answered.Last Seen: Apr 26, 1996
