David Robinson wants everyone to know his son's case is anything but cold.

Daniel Robinson went missing in the desert of Buckeye, Arizona in June 2021. The 23-year-old geologist’s jeep was found overturned in a ravine, but he remains missing. What started with a devoted father jumping in his car and driving  2,000 miles from South Carolina to Arizona to search for Daniel, has turned into years of perseverance that has inspired us all here at Criminally Obsessed.

From 50 weeks of desert searches for his son, to creating new laws for reform in missing persons investigations, David’s work on Daniel's case - and to help other families - is alive and well.  

Senior Investigative Reporter Anne Emerson speaks with David Robinson as he pushes for the passing of the "Please Help Find Missing Americans Act" or the Daniel Robinson Law, the latest updates in Daniel’s case, and his work with other families like Gabby Petito’s father, Joseph. As we continue the search for Nancy Guthrie out of Tucson, Arizona, David explains the unique difficulties of searching extreme desert terrain, and how the community can combat disparity in media coverage of missing person cases. While he hasn't found his own son yet, he has even helped solve other missing person cases by finding others’ remains during his searches for Daniel.   

Please support the search for Daniel by sharing his story, and if you have information, submit tips to the family's dedicated tipline at 844-602-0660.
