Daniel Edward Thomas was a 29-year-old man originally from the Butte, Montana area who had moved to Portland, Oregon. In December of 2012, he was back in his hometown of Butte, spending time with his family before the holidays. His intention was to return to his home in Portland. Friends and family last had contact with him on December 18, 2012. He was reported missing after he failed to arrive in Oregon and could not be reached. At the time of his disappearance, Daniel was described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and brown eyes, standing approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing around 200 pounds.
The circumstances surrounding Daniel's disappearance remain uncertain, with very few details available to the public. He began his journey from Butte on or around December 16, 2012, traveling with a friend in an unknown vehicle. He was last seen in Missoula, Montana, on December 18th.
On that same day, he made a phone call indicating that he was on his way home to Oregon. This was the last time anyone heard from him. He was reportedly wearing a green Carhartt jacket and dark-colored jeans at the time. Since that day, there has been a complete lack of activity on his cell phone and his bank cards, and he never completed his journey home.
In the years that have passed since Daniel Thomas was last seen, his case has grown cold, leaving his loved ones without answers. The Butte/Silver Bow County Law Enforcement Division has been handling the investigation, but the scarcity of information has made progress difficult. The fact that he was traveling with an unidentified friend in an unknown vehicle adds a layer of complexity to the search. Despite the passage of time, his case remains an active and unsolved missing persons investigation. The lack of closure continues to be a source of deep concern for his family and community, who are still hoping for information that might shed light on what happened to him.Last Seen: Dec 18, 2012
