Daniel Little is an 18 year old young man who lives in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, BC. He is a kind, empathetic, responsible, hard worker who, by all accounts, loves his family, friends, job and life in general. He has been missing since early April 30th. He left the house without his ID, camera, phone charger and without telling anyone where he was going. Our family has not seen him since. There is a family history of mental illness including bipolar and this is so out of character and without pre-planning that we fear Daniel has had some kind of manic episode or mental break.

Timeline

April 29th

  • 9 pm Ryan Little says goodnight to his son, Daniel Little after confirming that, yes they would wake up at 9 am the next day to go shopping and buy Ryan's grandson/ Daniel's nephew a gift for his fourth birthday the following day and goes to bed.
  • 10 PM Ryan hears Daniel brushing his teeth and hears the door to his room close 

April 30th

  • 5:20am According to banking records later produced, Daniel made a purchase at Tim Hortons, then took a taxi from there to the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal
  • 9am Ryan enters Daniel's room to wake him up as planned. Daniel is not there
  • 10:30am Marie makes a post on Daniel's timeline asking friends if they have seen or heard from him.
  • midday police are alerted
  • 3:35pm, Marie made a post asking for people to be on the lookout and to share the post. Family was worried but not in a panic at that point.
  • Family celebrates the birthday of Skyler, 4 year old nephew of Daniel who he loves so much, at the home of Marie and Elizabeth and their families
  • 5:30pm Ryan and Dee return to Ryan and Daniel's house in central Nanaimo, hoping to find him passed out in his bed. There is still no sign of him. Phone still goes straight to voicemail.
  • 2:30AM Ryan and Dee go to Daniel's work where he is expected for his shift. He never showed.

May 1st

  • Police get banking records showing Daniel's card was used at a Tim Hortons and then the ferry, then at an ATM in Abbotsford. 
  • noon- Missing Persons media release is posted online by the RCMP

May 2nd

  • Police confirmed that he was in Abbotsford on the 30th. Footage at the RBC showed Daniel walking in and using the ATM, seemingly out of his own volition. While this was good news as he was physically fine, it limited the privacy laws the police were allowed to override as he is technically an "adult" despite still being a minor
  • Daniel was picked up while walking along the highway between Abbotsford and Chilliwack and given a ride to the Chilliwack bus terminal where he was dropped off at 10am.
  • Daniel told the man who was driving him that he grew up in Abbotsford (even though he actually had very little knowledge of Abbotsford) and that he was going to Calgary to visit his aunt (even though we don't have relatives in that region of Alberta) and look for work (despite not having any ID, SIN or work clothes on him)
  • His name has not shown up in any of the passenger manifests, under the name of Daniel Little. However, ID is not always required to board a bus so it is possible he did get on a bus under a false name.

From this point on we have received no new information. However the outpouring of love, support and shares on social media has given us hope that we will be able to find our Daniel. Please join our facebook group Find Daniel Little and/or share/retweet the BC Missing Person's report. 

We are fundraising as

  •  we believe Daniel has suffered a psychotic break or manic episode and we may have to travel on a moments notice if we get a call that he is in Chilliwack or Calgary and may need to stay overnight. 
  • If we are unable to find Daniel we may need to hire a private investigator.
  • My dad was left without Daniel's half of the rent, hydro or food bills and most immediate family members have missed work.
