**I wonder whatever happened to Daniel Sheppard. Could he have travelled from Australia to North America? He was of age to travel I am sure being 19 years old His family, the Australia Police and their communtiy searched high and low for him to no avail. I will post more info as this is a very interesting case. I also see a huge resemblance to our Grateful Dead Fan. There are many similarities. Age, height, similar receding hair line. Both have a fair complexion. Time could match, he travelled and ended up at that concert.

What do you think?

MISSING -DANIEL NICHOLAS SHEPPARD

ON New Year's Eve, as revellers party their way through to 2005, the family of Daniel Sheppard will be remembering the day 10 years ago the teenager disappeared.
The 19-year-old boarded a city train early on January 1, 1995, after celebrating with friends - but he never made it home.
His mother Pat has all but given up hope of her son being found.
"It's been nearly 10 years - it seems like it's hopeless," she said.
"Too much time has passed."
However, with the case remaining an open file as part of the SA Police Missing Persons Investigation Branch, there still is a possibility someone knows about the circumstances surrounding Daniel's mysterious disappearance.

Dear Bridget Kinnier,

I sent in a tip to the Australian Federal Police on their website but I did not receive a reply and cannot guarantee it went through.

It could be possible that Daniel is the Grateful dead fan but didn't GDT have brown or hazel eyes?

Bumping so I can find this and see if it is in the Grateful Doe thread.
