BUCKEYE, Ariz. – June 23, 2025, marks four years since geologist Daniel Robinson went missing in the Buckeye desert.
What we know:
The 24-year-old was last seen in June 2021 leaving his worksite near Sun Valley Parkway and Cactus Road around 9 a.m. A month later, his Jeep and some belongings were found, but he has not been seen or heard from since.
