Investigators are reviewing disorienting sightings after a post-crash head injury was suspected.

Overview

  • Daniel “Dan” Davis, 59, was last seen by acquaintances leaving 115 Bourbon Street around 1:15 a.m. on Nov. 25, and police have issued an endangered missing person alert.
  • Surveillance videos from Nov. 25 show him walking unsteadily through Blue Island neighborhoods, at times injured and asking for directions back to the bar; additional sightings were recorded on Nov. 26.
  • A possible Dec. 3 encounter near Pierre’s Bakery remains unconfirmed as his family works with police to verify it.
