Summary
Geologist Daniel Robinson drives away from his worksite west of Phoenix, Arizona, and is never seen again. David Robinson, who lives in South Carolina, has been in Arizona leading searches himself after his son's Jeep was found by a rancher found.
The blue, 2017 Jeep Renegade was discovered in a remote, shallow ravine on his property, rolled over and on its side. The vehicle’s airbags were deployed, and authorities said the evidence shows that Robinson was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.
The rancher, who runs cattle in the area, says the vehicle was not there just three days before. The private detective hired by Robinson’s father, David, says he believes the crash “looked like a stage event to me.”
Data shows after the airbags were deployed, someone turned the Jeep's ignition over at least 46 more times.
