Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP152451) and 2 other sources

Daniel L. Simmons, a 48-year-old Black / African American male, was last seen on October 1, 2022, in North Providence, Rhode Island. At the time of his disappearance, he was 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighed approximately 185 pounds. He has graying hair and brown eyes. His case is documented under NamUs number MP152451.

Simmons has several distinguishing physical features that could aid in his identification. He has a linear scar on his abdomen and another scar on his right eyebrow. Additionally, he has two tattoos: one on his right shoulder depicting a Patriot standing on jets, and a tattoo of the name "Tonya" on his left arm. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance in North Providence have not been detailed in publicly available information.

The South Portland Police Department in Maine is listed as the primary investigating agency for this case, with a reported date of October 16, 2025, and agency case number 24-023965. This has caused some public confusion, as an earlier report indicated that Simmons, then 50, had been missing from Lyman, Maine, and was last seen at a hotel in South Portland in 2021. However, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System clarifies his date of last contact as October 1, 2022, in North Providence, RI.

There is no information publicly available regarding the clothing he was wearing at the time of his disappearance or any vehicle he might have been using. The case remains active, and authorities are seeking information from the public that could help locate him. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the South Portland Police Department.
