Circumstances of Disappearance
It’s been over 23 years since Danny Gaulton vanished without a trace in Clairmont, Alberta. Danny was last seen in the late evening of November 24, 1997, by his roommate, Duane Newhook. Earlier that night, Danny and his roommate had been at the bar inside the former Park Avenue Hotel in Grande Prairie. Shortly after they returned home, at approximately 11:00 p.m., Danny told Duane he was leaving to go work at his job as a security guard at a construction site, which would later be the home of the Sandman Hotel in Grande Prairie. Both Danny and his 1985 gold Chrysler LeBaron (license plate TSA 559) have not been seen since.

There are no bodies of water between the two locations, and it looks to be a flat, straight drive. Two lakes in the opposition direction. Strange the car wasn't found at the very least. Wonder if something happened at the construction site while Danny was working the night shift as security guard.

Interesting, thanks for this! The article says Danny called in sick to work, and went to a hotel where he got into a deadly, for him, altercation.

[...]

The family has put out a private $100,000 reward for information leading to where Danny is, as well as his 1985 gold Chrysler Lebaron, which has also never been found.

Danny was originally from Labrador City and moved to Grande Prairie in 1997 to be a Corrections Officer, and was only in the city for five months prior to going missing.

[...]

His family’s end goal is to find his remains following recent revelations after working with Whereabouts Unknown.

“We very quickly started to get a lot of information. A lot of people came forward. Witnesses that were actually at the Park Hotel that night, which is where an altercation took place between my brother and some other people.”

Champion says through working with the investigative service, they were able to establish a timeline of what had happened the night of Danny’s disappearance and the people involved with the situation.

[...]

She says being in contact with the RCMP over the years, they are now investigating Danny’s case as a homicide and not a missing person.

[...]

The Facebook page Missing-Danny Gaulton $100,000.00 Reward For Information is run by Champion.
