Authorities are seeking public assistance in locating Daniel Tovar, a 16-year-old who was last seen in Morro Bay, California, on October 16, 2024. His father reported him missing the following day. Law enforcement officials believe Tovar may still be in San Luis Obispo County, but it is thought that he has been actively avoiding contact with his parents and the authorities.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) has since marked Daniel Tovar as located, and his missing poster has been taken down. NCMEC has not said whether he was found alive or deceased, and no further details about the circumstances have been released.
At the time of his disappearance, Tovar was described as being 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighing approximately 135 pounds. He has brown hair, brown eyes, and a chipped front right tooth.
Tovar was last seen wearing a brown Pro Club T-shirt, blue jeans, and black Nike Air Force shoes.
Initially, Tovar's family suspected he might have traveled to Oregon with an acquaintance. However, recent information from his phone suggests he is likely back on the Central Coast. The Morro Bay Police Department is investigating the case and urges anyone with information regarding Daniel Tovar's whereabouts to contact them at 772-6225 or Detective Christian Galaz at 772-6229. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has also circulated a poster with his information, referencing case number 2053490.Last Seen: Oct 16, 2024
