Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP328) and 5 other sources
Daniel Lee Holling, 36, was last seen on February 14, 2003, in Virginia, Minnesota. He visited several taverns along Chestnut Street before disappearing that evening. Holling was a seasonal worker at a resort in Babbitt, Minnesota, collecting unemployment during the off-season. He signed his last unemployment check on February 10 but failed to collect subsequent payments or return to work as scheduled on April 1.

His employer grew concerned when attempts to contact him went unanswered, and a visit to Holling’s home revealed no signs of recent activity—his phone was disconnected, and no footprints were found in the snow. Inside the house, his eyeglasses, cash, and winter coats were left behind, indicating he had not been there in weeks.

At the time of his disappearance, Holling was facing financial difficulties and had a history of depression, even attempting suicide on multiple occasions. While his family believes foul play may have been involved, authorities have found no direct evidence but acknowledge that it remains a possibility. Holling's case remains unsolved despite ongoing efforts to locate him.
