Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP140536)
Daniel Andrew Weaver, a 20-year-old from Waco, Texas, vanished on January 18, 1983, under circumstances that have remained unresolved for over four decades. That afternoon, Daniel informed his wife, Tamara, that he was visiting his father before heading to his 4 p.m. to midnight shift at a local 7-Eleven gas station. He never arrived at work, and no trace of him has been found since.
Despite extensive investigations involving local police, three grand juries, and private detectives hired by his brother, David, the case remains unsolved.
The mystery deepened in 2006 when Daniel’s stepmother, Lydia Weaver, presented a will purportedly signed by him. However, a Texas court ruled in 2007 that the signatures were forged, casting further suspicion on the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. David Weaver, Daniel’s brother, contested the will and sought to have Daniel declared legally dead, describing the legal battle as part of a broader puzzle.
The case has drawn attention due to the lack of concrete evidence and the involvement of multiple legal proceedings, including the contested will. Despite the passage of time, the disappearance of Daniel Andrew Weaver remains an open and haunting mystery in Waco, Texas. , Last Seen: Jan 18, 1983
