Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP41479) and 7 other sources
Daniel David Urbach, age 29, was last seen on October 29, 1986, in San Francisco, California. At the time, Daniel lived in the San Remo Hotel in the Fisherman's Wharf area and worked as an artist. He was last spotted on Lincoln Boulevard, located in the Presidio district of the city. Urbach had a history of mental health issues and required daily medication, which he last received a week before his disappearance.

Daniel was wearing a tweed coat, brown pants, and brown shoes when he vanished. There is no indication of foul play, but his case remains unsolved. Despite investigations, few details have emerged, and no new leads have been found since he disappeared. Authorities continue to search for any information related to his whereabouts.

Urbach's disappearance was particularly concerning due to his medical condition, which necessitated regular medication. Despite efforts by local law enforcement, the case has remained a cold one, with little evidence surfacing over the decades since his last sighting.
