Daphne Webb, a 21-month-old toddler, went missing on July 10, 2013, from Oakland, California. Her father, John "Anthony" Webb, reported her disappearance, claiming that she was taken from his car while he briefly went inside a store. At the time, Daphne was left in the vehicle with her elderly grandmother, who suffered from dementia. Webb told authorities that when he returned, his daughter was gone.
A witness described seeing a woman walking away with a child matching Daphne's description, but despite the issuance of an AMBER Alert, the woman was never identified.
Initial investigations led to the arrest of Daphne's father for felony child endangerment due to leaving her in the car unattended. However, no charges were ultimately filed against him. As the case unfolded, questions emerged when some witnesses claimed they had not seen Daphne for several weeks prior to the reported abduction. Despite extensive searches and efforts from law enforcement, including the FBI, no trace of Daphne was found.
Ten months after her disappearance, John Webb tragically died by suicide, further complicating the investigation. Authorities have expressed suspicions regarding his involvement in the case but were unable to gather sufficient evidence before his death. Daphne's case remains unsolved, with investigators suspecting she may be deceased, though no conclusive evidence has been found.Last Seen: Jul 10, 2013
