Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP2655) and 8 other sources
Daniel Bradley Carver, a 15-year-old from Bloomington, California, was last seen at his home on January 17, 1997. Described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, Daniel stood about 5'10" to 5'11" and weighed around 135-140 pounds. He had distinguishing features, including a scar on his lip, chipped front teeth, and a mole on the right side of his neck. Authorities classified his disappearance as an endangered runaway, suspecting that Daniel may have left voluntarily and possibly traveled with an unidentified adult male.

Despite the passage of time, his case remains unsolved, and he has never been located. His photo has been age-progressed multiple times to aid in identification, most recently showing what he might look like at age 34. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate, urging anyone with information to come forward to help bring closure to his family.

If you have any information about Daniel's whereabouts, you can contact the authorities handling the case.
