Search for Daniel Ladd reaches nine years

Nine years ago, Daniel Curtis Ladd was declared missing after he was last seen on Aug. 19, 2016, and today the search continues.

Ladd was last seen by his five-year-old daughter, as police believe he left his residence and met several people, but never returned home.

“We as a family are still struggling with this nightmare of Daniel’s disappearance,” said Areatha Ladd, Daniel’s sister.

“We don’t believe Daniel would have left on his own accord. We feel people know what has happened and we need them to come forward to tell the police what you know. Any information, even if given anonymously to Crimestoppers or the Cranbrook RCMP would be appreciated so we can find Daniel.”

He is described as 6’1″ tall of interracial descent with short brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information is urged to come forward.

“We would all like to see Daniel found safe and sound,” Ladd added.

“We need closure. Please forward any information, however small, to the RCMP so we can bring him home.”

Those with information should contact the Cranbrook RCMP detachment at 250-489-3471 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to remain anonymous.
