In Merrionette Park, Illinois, a fresh piece of evidence has emerged in the puzzling disappearance of Dan Davis, a local man who has been missing for more than a month. The Cook County Sheriff’s Office has released body camera footage that sheds new light on the case.
The video captures the moment when Davis exits a police vehicle around 12:30 a.m. on November 25. This recent development adds another layer to the distressing mystery that has kept his family in a state of uncertainty and concern.

“It’s been such a roller coaster,” expressed Wendy Davis, Dan’s daughter. “We keep getting messages from people who think they’ve spotted him. We rush to check the cameras or photos they send, only to find out it’s not him. But we appreciate their efforts, and this has been our exhausting routine for the past month.”
The footage shows the 59-year-old being dropped off at 115 Bourbon Street, the bar where he is employed, which is located in Merrionette Park. This new detail has prompted further investigation into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

A little more than an hour earlier, relatives say, he’d been in a car crash near 119th Street and Avers Avenue in unincorporated Alsip.
His family thinks he may have had a stroke or other medical episode prior to the crash.
“The camera footage of him leaving his apartment building, we have some videos of him, like kind of going around and trying to open his neighbors’ doors in the hallway and stuff, which was odd obviously,” Wendy Davis said.
In fact, the video shows Davis appearing confused about the squad car’s locked door.
Davis then appears to walk strangely, as he steps onto a curb.
“You can see his left leg not really bending that well, or he kind of struggles to pick it up. Or he almost uses his hand to help it up or something,” Wendy Davis said.
Hours after that recording, Davis was spotted by surveillance cameras, wandering around south suburban Blue Island.
Video showed him again the next day, on Nov. 26: his last confirmed sighting.
“We don’t even know if he’s still, like, in Illinois or in the city,” Wendy Davis said.
