Search for scientist, who went missing in Arizona in 2021, continues in the desert
Around 100 volunteers gathered in the Arizona desert Saturday to continue the search for Daniel Robinson.
Daniel, a geologist and scientist, disappeared from a work site in the area in June 2021.
Detectives found his Jeep crashed into a ravine nearly a month later, about four miles from where he was last seen, with his clothes and his belongings at the crash site, but no body.
“I really appreciate it, from the bottom of my heart," David Robinson, Daniel's dad, said to the search group.
Many of the volunteers have searched with David before, hoping this time the search will lead to closure.
