Daniel Mayhugh, a 41-year-old man, was last seen in San Diego County, California on August 12, 2017. His case is notable for the unusual circumstances surrounding his disappearance and the significant delay in it being reported. Although he was last seen in Southern California, the investigation into his whereabouts is being handled by the Shasta County Sheriff's Office in Northern California.
A perplexing aspect of Mayhugh's case is that several of his personal documents were discovered in a remote area of eastern Shasta County in January 2017, seven months *before* his last known appearance in San Diego. These documents included his Social Security card, a Texas driver's license, his passport, and his birth certificate. Following the discovery of his papers, there is a record of Mayhugh being arrested and subsequently released in San Diego in August of 2017, which is the last time his location is known.
Mayhugh's family officially reported him as a missing person in June of 2020, nearly three years after he was last seen. It was reported that he had not been in contact with his family for years and was known to travel extensively throughout the United States and Mexico.
At the time of his disappearance, Daniel Mayhugh was described as an Asian male, standing 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 185 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He has distinctive tattoos, including a sleeve on his left arm and Asian characters on his upper arm. It is also believed that he may use the last name "Hugh". The investigation into his disappearance remains open.Last Seen: Aug 12, 2017
