Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9077) and 7 other sources
Danny Joe Riley, a 44-year-old man, was last seen on August 30, 1992, in Marshall, Texas. He was reportedly traveling with an acquaintance named Max Thomas, and authorities believe they may have been heading to Houston. Riley has not been seen since, and his disappearance was not reported until seven years later, in 1999. This delay has complicated efforts to uncover what happened to him, and foul play is suspected in his case.

Riley is described as being 5'9", with brown hair and brown eyes. He has several distinguishing marks, including multiple scars on his face, a burn scar from his right elbow to his hand, and tattoos on both arms—an eagle with "USA" on his right bicep and a black panther head on his left. Despite the passage of time, investigators are still pursuing leads, and his case remains open.

Anyone with information is urged to contact local authorities as they continue to seek answers for Riley's family.
