He was the life of the party, a rising entrepreneur, beloved by friends and admired by colleagues. With a promising career in tech, a tight-knit family, and plans to launch his own startup, 29-year-old Daniel Reyes had every reason to look forward to the future. So what happened the night he stepped out of his Chicago apartment—and was never seen again?
On the evening of Saturday, June 3, 2017, Daniel left a friend’s birthday dinner in downtown Chicago. He told his sister he was heading home. But Daniel never made it. Calls went unanswered. His phone last pinged near a train station just five blocks from his apartment. From that moment on, it was as if he vanished into thin air.
Now, in this gripping new podcast, journalist and host Maya Trent dives into the mysterious disappearance of Daniel Reyes. She retraces his final steps, interviews key witnesses, and uncovers overlooked details buried in digital records and surveillance footage.
Eight years later, questions still remain. Who was the last person to see Daniel alive? Was his disappearance random—or something far more calculated?
This isn’t a cold case. This is the beginning of a new investigation.
