Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP116315) and 10 other sources
On October 10, 2021, 45-year-old Daniel Cornfield, also known as "Danny Boy," was last seen in Navajo, New Mexico. He reportedly left his home with the intention of visiting neighbors. The details surrounding his departure are unclear, as it is not known if he left by himself or with someone else, nor is his intended destination known. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a navy blue sweater, blue jeans, and new black Adidas running shoes. He was also carrying a black backpack which contained a laptop belonging to Navajo Technical University.

The circumstances of Daniel's disappearance are further complicated by the fact that his family stated he went missing on or around the same day that a homicide occurred in Navajo. This has raised additional concerns for his well-being and has added a layer of complexity to the investigation into his whereabouts. The Navajo Nation Police Department's Window Rock District is the lead investigating agency in his case. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open, and the search for answers continues.

Daniel is described as a Native American male with brown hair and brown eyes, standing at 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation. The investigation into Daniel Cornfield's disappearance is ongoing, with law enforcement seeking any information that could lead to his whereabouts and bring peace to his family and community. The case serves as a somber reminder of the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people and the profound impact these unresolved cases have on their loved ones.
