I had a buddy who had some serious mental problems and had several breakdowns like this. Same symptoms: 1000 yard stare, saying strange things, then disappearing for days at a time and wiping social media accounts. There was a time where he got drunk and tried to drown himself in the ocean, and he would hsve succeeded if someone didnt rescue him. It's really hard to tell where this guy's gone if that's the case. People don't think straight when they're like this.
Yeah, while I totally see the suspicious nature of the car and stuff, I think his behavior is definitely explained by either blooming schizophrenia or another mental illness.
His father, David, is retired military and is experienced with deserts, having served in Afghanistan. The police put him off any search for Daniel for days. He has conducted exhaustive air and land searches and has hired PI's. Daniel's car was never found until the rancher located it. Police have lied and their investigation has been 1/2 assed putting it mildly. Much of what they say just doesn't add up. David Robinson says his clothing was found neatly folded in a pile . No damage to the clothing.
Trademarks of missing 411 include clothing being recovered, oftentimes found neatly folded. There was a case of a man hunting with his son on native lands. I believe he was ex-military. His clothing was found folded neatly near his weapon.
sounds like just another sadist death cult, I remember when wikileaks exposed hillary and her handlers as being involved in them back in 2016, "the news" ran the cover up and brushed it all under the rug while the satanic pedophile emails were never debunked or addressed.
Please read my comment above. I believe that the toxic environment he was working in (via government test sites) was causing his sympoms. If his family were able to get a hold of him and take him for medical care and testing, they could have had a substantial case both in public relations to the world, and substantial financial reimbursment for putting this young man in such a toxic environment. Also, he may have found foul play with clean up of the sites - money gone missing and sites not being cleaned up and reported it to someone who knew about it. It was then determined that they would get rid of him so that he would not expose the situation to the general public and environmentalists.
13:00 Bones of other people found near the crash site?? Absolutely some sort of cover up going on. I've been hit with air bags, and that's a bogus reason to remove your cloths
It's crazy what can happen when someone has a mental breakdown and loses all rationality behind their actions. I remember studying abroad 16 years ago for a full year in Germany and the program I was on was a solo one. Sink or swim, no host family, no other students. However, when I got there I was greeted by the student who was finishing up his year and he showed me the ropes for two weeks before he was to fly home. He was a good looking guy who actually looked a lot like Daniel here in this story. He was well traveled. I hung out with him probably 10 times in those 2 weeks. He helped me get a student apartment, the required health insurance, and showed me where the best eats were located. On his final day, I helped him move out of his apartment and he gifted me much of his stuff. He was supposed to fly out early in the morning so he threw a small party with about 10 people (myself included) we just drank all night (he smoked weed too, but no hard drugs) and he planned on getting on the flight drunk, after pulling an all-nighter. By 3am, everyone left except me, as I decided I'd see him off and help with any last-minute stuff. Things got weird when he gifted me some stuff that was way too sentimental to give to someone you've only known for a couple of weeks. Things that could easily be taken on the flight home. I felt really uncomfortable taking them, but he said he'd just throw them away if I didn't accept. I offered to mail them to him, he declined. First clue something was up. He also started talking about a failed relationship he had with a girl from an Asian country and seemed really affected by it. Started getting that 1000-yard stare a lot. I figured it was the booze talking. As the sun was starting to come up, we finished the cleaning, and his landlord showed up to inspect. Everything was good. I offered to help him go to the airport, but he insisted that he would go alone. I said I was heading back to my apartment, shook his hand, wished him well on the flight home, and thought that was it. At the last minute, he gave me his loose money in his pockets and his phone, which was just a basic phone back then where you could only call or do basic texting. It was a phone where you buy minutes. He said it was empty as far as minutes and that I'd have to buy some. Since people weren't addicted to their phones in those days, I just turned it off and put it in my pocket. The money was about 50 Euros. He said he didn't need it, which, again, was weird, but I was getting used to him being weird at this point. Then, days later, I was contacted by some of the people at the party and told to look at his social media account. He had never made it home, or even got on the flight, and had pleas from family members to contact them. The people from the party said I was the last to be with him. Better yet, I've got all of his furniture, his money, his phone, and a bunch of his sentimental and valuable things that I rightly shouldn't have. Didn't feel good to be in that position. Made me look really sketchy. I powered up his phone and he scrubbed it of all texts but forgot to scrub his contacts. I was able to find his mom's number and give her a call. He just disappeared, and I was the last witness to him being okay. I had nothing that could solve the mystery. I gave her all of the names and numbers in the phone, as she spoke German and said she'd reach out to everyone. I also told her about how I found it strange that he gave me certain possessions and that I only took them because I didn't want to see them thrown away. Being interviewed by the police was interesting as my German was only basic at that point. Thankfully, everyone speaks English. The guy was just gone. Vanished. No phone, no possessions besides a backpack that I last saw him with. I assumed he had no money as well. Had he gotten on his flight, he would have been using dollars by the end of the day, which is what I thought would have happened. Then, about 3 weeks later I heard he was found on the other side of the country near the Czech border, and he was only found because the police were called on him for being disheveled and acting like he was suffering from a paranoid, schizophrenic episode in a remote area. He was hospitalized, treated, evaluated, and his parents had to fly over and escort him home. I have no idea what ever became of him since then. It's baffling what goes on in people's heads, especially when you think you've got a good grasp on how they are doing. You just never know, I guess. I thank God that the authorities were called in to check on his erratic behavior in that remote location. It could have ended a lot differently. I did lots of hiking in the area he was found later that year, and there were places to hide in those forests and mini-mountains where you'd never be found if you wandered into them.
Wow, thank you for sharing that story. I really, really enjoyed it. Also, thanks for the paragraphs and splitting up your thoughts. You are one of the few on here that do it right. And, I loved your narration and story-telling ability. You are quite gifted. Probably should be a writer one day, or (at least) consider it. Similarly, as to what happened between you and your friend, is what I think happened to Daniel Robinson more-so now. Also, I think he was using drugs and, possibly, got some that were tainted. Because so many street drugs are (now -- especially) laced with extra ingredients that might or might be wise for human consumption. Anyway, I do really speculate that your experience/s could really benefit and influence the family who is still probably trying to figure out what happened to Mr. Robinson.
Haven’t u been tempted to reach out? He may not even remember, and wonder about all of the experiences that proceeded them finding him. A lot of people do not realize your brain can just “go bye bye” without any mental disorder. Over stressed, over worked, not eating, insomnia, and many other things can disable u to different degrees of severity. Your working memory can go in and completely out. U may not know who u even are, where u have been, or what u have done. Have heard it called a “dissociative fugue state” although some docs have never and will never come across it. I know it exists because it happened to me. 3 docs…and I will likely never find out why. They all had never heard it from another. There is another case, her name is Hannah Upp. She is currently missing for…5 or so years. She was teacher. Even more strange is this is the 3rd time she has gone missing. The other 2 times she was rescued from in the water. Not a good sign. She had these signs of fugue state. U should search YT for her name. I hope your old friend is doing well today. Can’t describe how scary it is after, that it will happen again. All I have come up with is to AirTag my keys and stay on treatment for anxiety
The mention of an "ego death" indicates hallucigenic drugs to me. Nobody else really talks about an ego death except those who have experienced one on hallucigenic substances
U don't have to do drugs to have an ego death. Plenty of other things, hitting rock bottom, almost dying, becoming severely disabled from an accident, losing someone that meant everything to u & more! Ofc some of these might depend on if u have any empathy/feelings/care. If you're a psychopath, then they probably won't apply 😂
This is quite a complicated story and great how you put it altogether so well. Sounds like he had some kind of break down but this could have been caused by unknown nefarious people - alot to ponder here as so many different events unfolded. I feel sorry for his family left high and dry over his mysterious disappearance - hope something comes to light before long for them. Great vid as always!
Yes, because if you want to have a top secret company that does research on enhanced reality like the movie Matrix you would call the company Matrix. Makes sense
You really spend time on these I could hardly find anything trying to look up this case before I typed it in RU-vid and here you are with the play by play truly it’s impressive
Did anyone hear about Jason landry. He dissappear in a similar matter. He was in an accident and his clothing was found away from the car like he undressed walking away from the accident. Then just vanished.
Just stumbled upon your channel earlier today and I am HOOKED 👌🏼 Between the dreamy background music and your crispy clear narration, this is a match made in heaven for me and I immediately subbed lol. I really appreciate the work and research you put into these videos, keep up the good work brother!!
I am thinking that his job working in a toxic environment of government test sites, most likely was making him sick thus his symptoms were starting to progress. If Robinson's family were able to get a hold of him and take him for medical testing, they could have had a case against the company/government he was working for allowing him to be exposed to such a toxic environment. Another thought, Robinson in his special capacity testing government sites, may have found foul play at the sites he tested not being cleaned up as they were supposed to be, and maybe the funding for that was being stolen.....???? He may have mentioned this to someone who was involved in the coverup and they determined to get rid of him.
Missing n a government testing grounds! 😳 Hmmm. 🤔 Cops unhelpful with Father n hired help!! 💯 No scent of him found n d surrounding areas.. 🧐 Cheers brotha Pandox..!! ✌️🤗
The odd behaviour and comments about his conversations close to his dissapearance is upsetting something was going on in his meaning for life and deep questioning .what happened to him in the desert ?
Has David Paulides done this story on CanAm Missing Project? I l looked and didn't see it. Outstanding doc! This one has many profile points and I love how you put them on the screen. Excellent. Love the Missing 411 cases.
Another great video as usual.... N it's a real mysterious case...I think Another channel also covered this case in much detail....there r alot of things which don't make any sense like missing 411 cases
Yes, there were some similarities with Paulides missing 911, but, it's my belief that he in fact was suffering from onset schizophrenia. This case is heart breaking. I lost my brother and can sure relate to their grief and loss. My other brother did experience early onset schizophrenia. It began as a teen and culminated in early twenties. Believe me, no one in our family ever expected anything like that, but it happened. The reason I believe this also happened to Daniel is his behavior, his words, the chaotic state of his belongings. None of that was like him normally.His unusual and off the wall comments sound like mental instability, the talk about Eckhart was just something that he recently encountered. The fact that the vehicle wasn't discovered on aerial search, is more to do with the fallibility of the searchers, the shifting light of the desert. As far as I know even a fly by doesn't monitor every square foot. Him removing his clothes is also not out of the range of possibility. My unwell brother would walk around half naked in the snow, he really wasn't aware of the elements or even of his own actions. I truly hope that Daniel's family who love him so much can find some peace. Don't ever forget that Daniel trained as a scientist and worked as a scientist. In my book that is a very notable accomplishment.
brain stroke? Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech. Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes. This could explain the odd behavior Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination, this could explain the loss of control of the car and driving another 11 miles while restarting the car
I didn’t see it at first, but it started to make since in the very end. Too many things don’t add up with the Renegade’s data. All his clothes/shoes found right next to it, paint transfer and not being there when previously searched. Not to mention the fact another young black male who was an experienced hiker and familiar with the area was found dead within 24hrs of entering the area is just too suspicious. I first thought his dad might have been overreacting to poor police work, but his son may have very well been a victim of a hate crime. Especially given the social/political/racial climate in the US during the time of his disappearance/right now. No doubt Arizona is definitely one of those places. Wonder who those human remains ended up belonging too? Extremely weird
@@OhSoNasty I don’t know about that. It’s something that could happen, but his extremely bizarre behavior acting like someone experiencing psychosis negates that theory in my opinion. It’s what makes the theory about being victim to a hate crime maybe seem plausible but unlikely..
@@lestersmith7 I don't think it was a hate crime bro. I live nearby on 35th Ave and buckeye trust me there's lots of colored folk here too much for this to have been a hate crime. I think his psychotic episode had him come off a little too aggressive towards the girl who could have maybe confused it or misunderstood what was going and may have felt harassed and caused her to let family know she was feeling very uneasy. Like I said colored folk are everywhere here same with Hispanics like me. And check the stats we have out own people taking each other out which is why I'm not surprised if this girl had him taken care of
Dude that's your theory? Why? Because he's black? Let me guess because he's black he's also oppressed by the evil white man? You do know that ppl do have mental breakdowns not all ppl that are black are victims of so called racism .you are what's wrong with this country and world. You carry around white guilt and believe all ppl of color are oppressed and suffer racism! Let me guess you live in California.... Do yourself a favor and get a clue!
sort of update comment. Ken Elliot his story does not match. He said he followed the tracks down to the T junction and knew they were his because they were fresh since the rain had washed all other tracks away. But Daniel left in a few minutes before any rain or possibly light rain starting at most. For Daniel to have left after the rain washed all other tracks away that places Daniel being there quite a while as in hours. Later "Mr X" confronts Daniel in the wash and they talk about target practice. This video calls him a hunter. The other reports call Mr X a federal agent. What about the rain? Plus Mr X who cannot be identified or located PASSED WORD to the father about the meeting. There is motive for Ken Elliot to have "passed word" or someone else to do it to the father. That motive would be if Elliot is guilty after a few days he would know "its being reported I was last to see him alive I know have to come up with story that someone else saw him hours later and "Jeep was fine and Daniel appeared coherent and normal" he was coherent and normal and "cleaning his Jeep" ??? (what about all this rain?) why was the jeep pristine no mud even in the tread of tires and no mud or anything in tire wells? Elliot messed up by giving too many details that dont match. Consider this. worker arrives at job site maybe hungover 15 minutes goes by and he takes off. Yet Elliot again gives too much info. " I looked INTO HIS EYES but pupils not dilated" he LOOKED INTO HIS EYES?? look at daniel photo black man with dark eyes perfect photos. You cant see no pupils unless he went into eye doctor with special lights etc. That BY ITSELF makes him a liar. Keep in mind any job person drives off hungover whatever will call it a day. No coworker is going to chase the person down later!! He expands on it "I climbed up to "high spot" to look out but did not see him. That combined with his bullshit lie that later he followed the tracks--all other tracks "washed away" washed away IN A RAIN THAT HAD NOT YET OCCURRED. LE did bring him back in and grill him a second time. They need to do it a third time and really pour on the steam. "you say he was there 15 minutes but you give all these other details you looked into his eyes and you said tracks washed away from light rain that had not even occurred?" I say waterboard him
flat out bar none best thing I have ever seen on the subject. there are some errors and a huge one is that he was "not last seen" at his worksite. The top what could be a suspect is "the not named or identified "secret official" who saw him last and hour or two before he went missing. This "official" was not a hunter at all. In that area he would not have been seen unless spotted and chased down by "drug and migrant "officials". Generally in an investigation it "carries a bit of weight" who saw them last. Its reported "never again seen after leaving the drilling site" which simply is not true. I dont know why that keeps getting repeated. He was in fact confronted by "an official" out in the desert for no reason where they talked about target shooting??" that "official??" said he out in the middle of the desert was CLEANING HIS JEEP??? The obvious first people to rule out are those THAT SAW THE PERSON LAST. yet this OFFICIAL? is not named and not traceable and then Daniel goes missing an hour later?? In the afternoon?? well now I would think the person would be interviewed and questioned but NOTHING exists about this person and daniel shows up missing an hour later?? this report says " A HUNTER approached him?? hunter hunting for what? in the blazing heat of the afternoon? I am familiar with the area. so the top suspects that should be interviewed the "hunter or federal drug agent??? NOT ONE PERSON KNOWS WHO THEY ARE? THEY ARE LOST TO TIME?? This mystery person or persons talks to Daniel an hour before he goes missing BUT THEY CANT BE FOUND??
Has anyone checked the bodies of water around where Daniel could have gone missing? Always check the water. I do want to mention that David paulides does not think this is a 411 case. My guesses on his reasons could be he suspects foul play or he thinks a mental break? I do hope his father and family can find the closure needed.
A lot of that sounds exactly like the actions of someone taking a lot of psychedelics over a long period of time. I've seen it happen with people before exactly like this, not disappearing forever like that but the rest of it is nearly the exact same
When I was 12 I was camping along the Appalachian trail with my family. I ventured out by myself maybe a few hundred yards looking for snakes. I remember hearing a voice that sounded like my grandpa that had passed away a year prior. I turned around and to my surprise he was standing roughly 30 feet from me walking away from me, what was odd is I couldn't hear his footsteps. I walked in his direction maybe 10 steps and that's the last thing I remember. I woke up in the hospital 2 days later. I was apparently found 2 miles from camp naked, confused and dehydrated. My parents thought had previously caught me smoking pot so they thought I had snuck away to get high and got lost. I still to this day at age 31 can't convince them that not what happened. I've considered reaching out to someone to share my story and all the details. I've always wondered what it all meant.
Interesting case for sure. My initial thoughts before you even talked about theories were some kind of spiritual quest mixed with mental illness (likely schizophrenia but who knows). As for the police and how they handled the investigation, I highly suspect that Daniel being a POC had a part to play in the negligence on their behalf unfortunately. This sadly isn't a rare occurrence. I would personally take the P.I.'s theory with a grain of salt too though, as there is simply not enough evidence to suspect foul play, but of course this could have been covered up. My main question would be; what motive would a group of people have to murder Daniel and have the police then cover it up?
What?!?!? Daniel was harassing that Katelyn girl. Who knows what shit he was getting up too regarding her. Daniel's jeep's CPU/GPS data showed that it had been crashed elsewhere hours before. The cops hand back Daniel's phone wiped clean!!! NO SIGNS OF FOUL PLAY?!?!? 🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@jokesonyou1373 Firstly, I didn't say there were no signs of foul play, I literally said the cops could have covered up evidence. Second, you're lashing out at me like I'm defending the guys actions or something, which I'm not, he was definitely harassing the woman. The crashing isn't proof of anything, with the state of mind that Daniel was in he very well could have crashed, and the airbags deployed (and like it said in the video), this could have been a cause to his disorientation. The cops handing the phone back wiped clean is sus, something I didn't mention but you're right. But again, this could be due to Daniel being a person of color and the cops discriminating. You're a fool if you think you know exactly what happened in this case, nobody knows, that's why it's a mystery and my comment was mainly just throwing out theories and thoughts, so no need to be so aggro bud.
I'd like to know how accurate that car data actually is on average. Is it possible that the car was running and the pedal held down for those numbers to come up? It is strange that the police wiped his phone, but how often does something like that happen? Some more questions need to be answered for a more satisfying conclusion, especially about the vehicle data and crash analysis, but I think schizophrenia and sleep deprivation are the likeliest explanations for his strange behavior. Maybe they'll find his body some day and they'll be able to piece together what happened.
@@anthonyefimoff7228You didn't tackle his conduct regarding the girl he was harassing. Also, many of the missing 411 cases have a physical or mental impairment. His absent right forearm in this case.
@@anthonyefimoff7228 Very wrong to paint Daniel as a schizophrenia. How would you label the girl he delivered to letting him into their home and partying with a strange man. Don't do that to him.
I thought you were saying "super fun" sights, I had to turn on the subtitles to find out it was "superfund". I thought it was weird that a place with hazardous materials was called "super fun" 😅.
so sad, seems people trying to make a difference in this word against companies and /or people responsible go missing way to often. I cant help but think this is one of those cases considering what he was working at. just my thoughts . first time hearing of it and im only into the video 2.08 minutes and that's my first reaction. Deep dive into Gov, disappearances. Mind control is real. what he was discovering was against Gov. just think on that. rapid personality change, weird behavior . Id be looking hard at what I just said. To many have gone missing like this. One thing that seems to be the norm for these disappearance is mental or spiritual revelation and all scenes of disappearance are very suspect of outside interference with the crime scene . I can only say that this is happening way to often with no resolve because its being covered up. crazy? maybe but I dont think so.
You are so right about Government Mind Control. I've been hired with a company that is teaching us (or training us, better said) about how their equipment works on how to monitor, track, and influence citizens through their wifi-brainwave technologies. I didn't really want to work there, but the pay is so good. And, you only have to work with 3 or 4 different "being monitored" individuals (whom they call "TI's"). I still don't understand everything about what a TI is and why they need to be followed, which requires you to be constantly monitoring them and their actions and thoughts. But, hey, it's good pay, so I don't ask many questions.
He was a scientist, and the company didn't even supply him with gear? To me this sounds like a mental break due to stress or another psychological factor. It isn't impossible he got something dangerous, but for someone smart enough to be a scientist it would be strange to buy street bootleg when he can get his stuff legally and safely. So I consider that unlikely.
Well, if someone's been using for a while, they develop a tolerance. And, they want something that's a little stronger or a little different. So, I sure think tainted drugs could explain his lack of clarity in thinking.
Its pretty clear to me that this has all the hallmarks of a purposely planned disappearence. I don't get the point in crashing the car to make it look like an accident because if your body isn't with the vehicle then its obvious you left lol.
I sure enjoyed this episode. I do also wonder what happened to him. But, my theory has changed. I was more father-oriented on how something external happened to him, such as a malicious third party. But, now, as Pandox covered it, I think of it differently. I think he was having a psychotic break and/or starting to develop Schizophrenia. And, his drug usage probably contributed to his depersonalization and feelings & desires of being ego-less. Very easy to see tainted drugs also contributing to this situation.
While the he said she said between the police and other investigaters is interesting, I find the other human skull they founds to be the biggest clue that somthing else is going on. Also is there any info if all the bones found belonged to the same person?
PCP is not popular at all, it's actually very rare nowadays. Also, weed is so cheap that lacing it with anything does not make sense from a practical and financial standpoint. Not to mention to that most hard drugs that would cause the symptons Daniel was experiencing arent even able to be smoked by direct exposure to flame, you usually need to heat them while theyre on foil or in a special pipe, while applying flame underneath the foil/pipe. Daniel was at a prime age for schizophrenia to develop and if he was smoking weed, he would be so much more susceptible. I really do think he was having one of his first, if not THE first, episodes from a schizo or manic disorder and it led him to die via misadventure.
While I absolutely agree that something weird happened and the local police definitely took the path of least work there, I am very confused how this is classified as a Missing 411 case. Because wasn't a Missing 411 case per definition a case where voluntary disappearance, mental illness and human criminal activity have all been ruled out? Or am I misrembering something here...
Dude lost his mind, pretty sad the father can't get over it and instead seems hell bent on blaming everyone for some insane, conspiritorial cover up, like come on man it's pretty fucking obvious.
5 of the other construction workers disappeared during work they carpooled and their vehicle was there overnight and was towed the next day the construction company eitherer killed and buried them or sold them into slavery to mexico none of us saw them leave the remote worksite
Yeah so, with this one, I’m not confident any foul play was involved. What would be the odds that Daniel begins acting strangely at about the time of the onset of schizophrenia is commonly observed, and the day after he wipes his posts, he gets savagely abducted by ghosts from his car? The strange evidence recovered from the car, in my opinion, might just be a reflection of Robinson’s erratic behavior. Perhaps he impacted the car off road, doing damage, and continued trying to drive it until it went dead or he flipped it over. It’s clear he wasn’t injured or killed in the impact from the lack of blood, so it’s possible he could have done the damage to the windshield. The point is is that I can see him, experiencing intense emotions, and intentionally trashing up his car. As for the circumstances for its discovery, I’m guessing the likely explanation is that the car was just missed. If someone intentionally impacted his car off road, why would they bother towing it to a different off-road area to stage it? If the impact happened on the road, why stage a scene off-road, especially on someone’s private property? It seems like it would have been more efficient to just stage the scene on the road. So, my conclusion is is that he probably went off to go end things. He was having weird symptoms and suffering from a difficult “breakup”. If I could be pressed for an explanation from the video presentation, that would be my speculation lol
I mean I kind of assumed, but a 2nd black man who disappeared in the same area under similarly odd circumstances? Theres likely a serial killer around there, not Missing 411.
Why do people still think marijuana is the cause of insanity and strange behavior? It’s 2023 and most people I know smoke pot and they’re pretty normal
Chronic long term use of marijuana can lead to dementia and Alzheimer's. But for some folks it can trigger psychosis and or schizophrenia very early casual use.
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo I’d like to see the case studies on that . I’ve seen plenty of alcoholics with wet brain who seem demented but never an old pot head who seemed demented.
It's not the pot smoking or an alcohol addiction it's why people are doing it . The underlying cause of any self medication is what is bugging you ? What is it that is eating you ? Why are you needing to self Medicate ...?
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo That's very true, Miquel. Also, if someone's been using for a while, they develop a tolerance. And, they want something that's a little stronger or a little different. So, I sure think tainted drugs could explain his lack of clarity in thinking.
I went with a stoner in the 70s. He was out of it most of the time, couldn't drive. Rode with him and I thought he would wreck. He did wreck several years after by going head on with a semi. Grass affects people not in a good way.
