Justin Daniel was a 39-year-old male when he was last seen in Kansas City, Missouri, on October 25, 2019. Public missing-person records describe him as a White man with red hair and hazel eyes, standing about 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds. The available information places him in Kansas City at the time of his disappearance, but it does not provide a detailed account of what he was doing that day, who he may have been with, or what circumstances led to the moment when he was last known to be safe. What remains publicly documented is stark and painful: after October 25, 2019, Justin Daniel was reportedly never heard from again.
The public record of Justin’s case is unusually brief, leaving behind more absence than explanation. The Charley Project lists his case as a missing-person case and notes that few details are available about his disappearance. That lack of public detail does not lessen the gravity of what happened; instead, it underscores how difficult the years since his disappearance may have been for those who care about him. When a person vanishes with so little known publicly, families and investigators are left to work from limited facts: a name, an age, a last known city, a last seen date, and physical identifiers that may help someone recognize him or remember an encounter.
The investigating agency listed for Justin Daniel is the Kansas City Police Department, with the department contact number given as 816-234-5000. The Kansas City Missouri Police Department states that its Missing Persons Unit investigates missing-person cases and that a missing-person report may be taken when someone’s whereabouts are unknown and unexplained in a way that is highly unusual or suspicious in light of that person’s behavior, plans, or routines. The department also emphasizes that there is no minimum waiting period to report a missing person, a point that reflects the urgency with which disappearances can be treated when someone’s absence is out of character or unexplained.
In Kansas City, the broader missing-person process described by police shows how cases can remain open to information even when public details are limited. KCPD explains that when an adult is reported missing, the person is entered into law enforcement systems so officers who encounter them can be alerted that they have been reported missing. The department also notes that police investigations may be limited in some adult missing-person situations, but that cases involving indications of foul play, endangerment, medical concerns, or life-threatening circumstances can be investigated more aggressively. In Justin’s case, public sources do not describe confirmed foul play, a known destination, a last known clothing description, a vehicle, medical concerns, or specific witnesses; the exact circumstances are unknown from the available public record.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s missing-person search page describes itself as a public tool for finding missing-person records using details such as name, date missing, investigating agency, county, gender, race, or missing-from location, and its active missing-person page states that its information is derived from the National Crime Information Center through the investigating agency and is updated automatically each day. Those statewide resources help explain how a case like Justin’s can be preserved in official missing-person systems while investigators and loved ones continue to depend on tips, recognition, and memory from the public.
Years after October 25, 2019, the public narrative of Justin Daniel’s disappearance remains painfully spare: a 39-year-old man was last seen in Kansas City, Missouri; he was described as a White male with red hair, hazel eyes, a height of 6 feet, and a weight of about 180 pounds; and few details have been released about what happened after he was last seen. The case stands as one of those quiet missing-person files where the small number of public facts carries a heavy emotional weight, because behind each detail is a person whose life mattered and whose disappearance left unanswered questions. In overview, Justin Daniel’s case is the unresolved disappearance of an adult male last seen in Kansas City on October 25, 2019, investigated through Kansas City authorities, with the available public record indicating that he vanished without a clear publicly known explanation and that the essential hope remains for information that can clarify what happened to him.
