Over the last couple of days, I have seen a broad spectrum of complaints that a missing “white woman” is getting more press time than a missing “black man.” The blame rests with the national media and their reporting practices. Odd how half of the nation knows and understands how biased the media are and how the other half continues to defend these so-called journalists.
In 2019, Daniel Robinson graduated from the College of Charleston in South Carolina. Not long after, he was hired as a field geologist and moved to Phoenix, Arizona.
Co-workers last saw Robinson at about 9:15 a.m. on Wed., Jun. 23, 2021, testing groundwater near Sun Valley Parkway and Cactus Road. At some point, he got into his blue 2017 Jeep Renegade and drove away.
The Buckeye, Ariz., Police Department received the report of his disappearance that evening.
Authorities immediately checked with local hospitals and conducted a ground search for the missing man. Later, the Arizona Civil Air Patrol completed several rigorous air searches for Robinson.
Investigators spoke with his friends and family to gather information about him and where he may have gone. They learned that before vanishing, he had been “acting strange” and “seemed withdrawn.”
Detectives obtained cellphone and financial records but were unable to locate any information to aid in the search. They also tried to access the On-Star technology from his Jeep, but there was no power to it. Police pinged his cellphone but could not get location data because it was either turned off or out of range.
On Tues., Jul. 20, 2021, a cattle rancher found his Jeep about four miles southwest of his last known location. The Jeep appeared to have rolled 20 feet down into a ravine.
The airbags had deployed. But it was determined that Robinson had been wearing his seatbelt when the Jeep entered the ravine. The driver-side window, however, was smashed, and the windshield cracked.
His boots, safety vest, cellphone wallet, and keys were near the vehicle. Detectives conducted a ground search of the area surrounding the Jeep but came up empty.
The 24-year-old Robinson stands five-foot-eight, weighs between 150 to 165 pounds, has black hair and brown eyes. He was born without his lower right arm.
If you have information regarding Robinson, contact the Buckeye Police Department at 623-349-6400 or 623-523-0234. You can also contact Crime Stoppers at 1-888-274-6372.
