Police continue search for missing student

As of Wednesday night, the Atlanta Police Department (APD) continues to seek information on the whereabouts of Daniel Compton, a fourth-year Computer Science major. Compton went missing in Buckhead on the night of Feb. 17 and may be driving a silver Honda Civic with Texas license plate number C91CKV.

“I last saw him at Moon Dogs leaving the bar at approximately 1:30 a.m. Friday. I saw him leave alone. I might have been the last person that saw him in person. I know he did return safely to his apartment after Moon Dogs, according to surveillance video,” said Lydia Sherwin, a fourth-year Industrial and Systems Engineering student and friend of Compton.

Compton’s father has hired a private investigator and the APD have been questioning his friends to try to find out more information.

“We are just hoping he returns safely, and we don’t really know what is going on,” Sherwin said.

“I really hope Dan’s okay and that there’s a good outcome to all of this,” said Brian Kazian, a fourth-year Computer Science major and a friend of Compton.

A $10,000 reward has been offered for any information related to the case. Anyone with information is asked to contact Investigator Mike Loy in the Missing Persons Unit of the APD at 404-853-4235.
