Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP68156) and 5 other sources
Daniel Lee Kriz, a 51-year-old man from New York, went missing on February 5, 2020, while visiting Daytona Beach, Florida. Kriz had traveled to the area for the 2020 Bike Week event and was last seen at Froggy's Saloon between 3:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. After leaving the bar, he was captured on surveillance footage at a nearby Circle K gas station purchasing a pack of cigarettes. The following morning, his truck was spotted at Waterfront Park, but it remains unclear who was driving the vehicle at that time.

Weeks later, in March 2020, Kriz’s truck was found abandoned in Palm Coast, Florida, after local residents reported it had been parked idle for an extended period. Inside the truck, investigators found Kriz’s cell phone and wallet, but there was no sign of him. His brother officially reported him missing on March 15, 2020. Authorities have since been investigating the case, but Kriz’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Kriz had a history of legal troubles and was known to carry significant amounts of cash, possibly contributing to concerns about his disappearance. Despite multiple leads, the case remains unsolved, and law enforcement continues to search for answers.
