Despite search efforts Dan is still missing and his family are desperate for answers

It was Saturday, the 10th of December 2022, when Daniel Hives was last seen leaving an address in City View, Sidings Close in Lancaster, close to the river Lune when he vanished without a trace.

Now more than two years later, the family of the 28-year-old at the time of his disappearance wants answers.

Despite search efforts by Dan’s family and friends, he still hasn’t been located.

Posting on the Join the search for Dan Hives Facebook page, Kat Hoy said:

“As always, Robbie and the friends of Daniel Hives are deeply thankful for your support in raising awareness about Daniel’s ongoing disappearance. Each share, each conversation, keeps the light of hope flickering in the darkness of uncertainty. Daniel Hives is missed more than words can convey.

It has been a troubling journey for Robbie, Daniel’s brother, as he grapples with an unthinkable reality – that his beloved brother is missing and may have come to serious harm. The silence surrounding Daniel’s case is deafening. There have been no sightings, no information that has brought closure or clarity; just an endless sea of unanswered questions.

The public discourse surrounding Daniel’s disappearance has been both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it raises awareness, but on the other, it continues to envelop Robbie and Daniel’s friends in a cloud of worry and unanswered questions. Some individuals know the truth about what has happened to Daniel, and as human beings, we must collectively ask ourselves: shouldn’t the truth be revealed?

Robbie’s heart is not set on the grim details but rather on a singular goal: finding Daniel. All he wants is to know where Daniel is, and should Daniel have come to harm, he seeks nothing but to treat his brother’s memory with the respect and dignity it deserves. The reality is stark – the aftermath of such a discovery will be difficult, but what weighs heavier on Robbie’s heart is the void of not knowing.

As a community, we must ask ourselves: do you have any answers that Robbie so desperately seeks? It has become painfully apparent that the local authorities, including Lancashire Police, have shown a disheartening lack of urgency in the search for Daniel. Have they done enough to find him? No, it appears that their commitment has dwindled, but Robbie’s determination is unwavering. He will never give up on Daniel.

If you have any information, no matter how small it may seem, please reach out. You can message me or Robbie directly. Your anonymity will be preserved; Robbie simply wishes to piece together the puzzle of Daniel’s whereabouts. Every piece of information is vital, a fragment that could connect to something greater and ultimately lead Robbie to his brother.

Daniel Hives deserves to be heard, and more importantly, he deserves to be found. Each person reading this has the power to make a difference, to illuminate a path that may have otherwise remained dark. If anyone has seen Daniel or knows something that might help unravel this painful mystery, please speak up.

In a world where so many voices go unheard, let’s ensure that Daniel’s story is not lost. Together, we can make strides toward finding Daniel and bringing him home. Let’s rally together—for Daniel, for Robbie, and for every family that lives in the worry of a missing loved one.

Thank you for your continued support, and let’s keep the hope alive.”
