Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP721) and 3 other sources
In the winter of 1996, a 46-year-old man named Daniel G. Cable was at the Greyhound Bus Station on South Marietta Parkway in Marietta, Georgia. It was December 28th, and for reasons that remain unclear, this would be the last time he was seen or heard from. At the time of his disappearance, Daniel was described as a white male, standing at approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing around 120 pounds. He had brown hair and blue eyes. The circumstances leading up to his presence at the bus station and his intended destination are not widely known, leaving a void of information in the timeline of his last known movements.

The initial investigation into Daniel's disappearance yielded very few clues. He vanished without a trace, and the lack of significant leads has made the case particularly challenging for the Marietta Police Department to solve. Over the years, his case has been entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP721, in the hope that national exposure might generate new information. Despite these efforts, his case has grown cold, with the sparse details of his last known whereabouts providing little for investigators to work with.

The years have turned into decades, and still, the question of what happened to Daniel G. Cable remains unanswered. There have been few, if any, significant developments in the case since he was last seen at the bus station. The passage of time has not diminished the hope of finding answers, and law enforcement continues to encourage anyone with even the smallest piece of information to come forward. The overview of this case is one of a sudden and unexplained disappearance, a man who was there one moment and gone the next, leaving behind a mystery that has endured for decades.
