Daniels was last seen on August 12, 2013, at approximately 5:00 p.m. in the parking lot of Pensacola State College in Pensacola, Florida. At the time, she was employed as a theater technician at the college. She left work to return home, but has not been heard from since. On August 20, Daniels’s vehicle, a gray Toyota 4Runner, was discovered abandoned in the parking lot of Park West at Pensacola Beach. Inside the vehicle were her cellular phone, purse, bicycle, and other personal belongings. Investigators found two fingerprints on the vehicle’s door that did not match Daniels or anyone in her family or circle of friends. Despite running the prints through a database, authorities were unable to identify them.
