Multiple agencies spent the weekend searching the area near Squires' home but were unable to find him. State investigators, Lancaster County firefighters and K-9s were called to the area to assist. Drones and a helicopter were also used to look in the area for Squires. He could still be in the area but may have caught a ride from someone else, police said. 

“Danny Squires has been missing for over 10 months," Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile said. "He vanished literally without a trace. He’s out there somewhere. We have to hope he’s OK. We want to find him whatever the circumstances for the sake of his family. Somebody saw something. It might have been 10 months ago, or it might have been yesterday. I encourage anyone with information about Mr. Squires to call us.”

Anyone with information about Danny K. Squires' whereabouts is asked to call 803-282-3388 and select option 4. Witnesses may also call the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office.
