Ian Lanier Freed and Elaine Joyce Daley spent a couple weeks camping in Darlington, PA in June of 2016.

According to family, the pair left the campground together on foot and with what they could carry on their backs. Their children were not with them. They have not contacted anyone nor have been seen since. Reports have been filed with state and local police and a private investigator was hired with no further development.

Family maintains a Facebook page to find them and both are listed on the NamUs website. Here are links to their NamUS pages:

Freed - https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/show/42864

Daley - https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/show/42952

The family-maintained Facebook page can be found here and includes missins persons posters and additional photos of the missing: https://www.facebook.com/Hope-for-Elaine-Ian-1787885841519257/

Family recently shared information on Facebook due to lack of activity (as poster mentioned in discussion in the Beaver County News & Alerts Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/929733813723549/?fref=nf ).

Per the Hope for Elaine & Ian Facebook page (link in original post): They have been found alive and well and just want to be left alone.
 
"Elaine was staying with Ian Freed (Ian is a missing person as well)at the Crawfords Campground. The campground owners allowed them to stay in a Rv that attaches to a vehicle in exchange for work they did at the campground. When the owners daughter was not present at the campground Elaine and Ian would assume managing responsibilities. Elaine's son had a dispute with Ian due to Elaine relaying via a phone conversation that he had physically abused her which turned out to be false. In actuality Elaine was intoxicated, tried to physically assault Ian and he blocked her hands and she fell and hit her head on the RV. Elaine's son had confronted Ian about that dispute before realizing she had fabricated the assault accusation. After this conversation with Elaine's son it is understood that Ian and Elaine left the campground for undisclosed reasons. Ian's Dad has said the campground asked hem to leave to vacate the campground so they could rent their site it out. Ian and Elaine are believed to have transplanted to the trail on Watts Mill to pitch their tent. It's near the bridge and in the woods near a spring in Darlington, PA. In the last year of Elaine's son living with his mother they had lived at 25 different places (motels, friends, Campgrounds, a house on College Hill in Beaver Falls, PA). All addresses were in the Beaver Falls area in that last year and before that they lived in Boardman, Ohio. There has been zero communication from Elaine to any family member since they last heard of them living on the trail in Darlington, PA. That last communication was via text message to Michael."
