Daniel who last seen at around 7:45 p.m. on April 22, 2020 — about five minutes before it's believed that she was kidnapped.

According to her family, Daniel spoke with her mother on the phone at around 7:20 p.m. that evening. Her mom then sent a family friend to give Daniel some money, and the two met up at Olar’s Party Store on 8 Mile Rd. near the I-75 Service Drive.

Investigators say Daniel then walked across 8 Mile toward Hawthorne St. That's when it's believed that she was assaulted, possibly shot, and put in the back of a car.

Daniel has not been seen or heard from since.

As the investigation continues, Daniel's family is pleading for the people in the public to come forward with anything that could help police solve this case. Daniel's mother, daughter and a friend are expected to speak at a news conference set for Friday.

Meanwhile, Crime Stoppers has announced a $2,750 cash reward for information leading to this missing woman's location.

Daniel is described as a white female, 5'4'' tall, and around 130-140 lbs., with blonde/grayish hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing a brown hoodie, a light colored jacket, dark jeans and brown boots and was carrying a blue bag. She has a mole on her left eyebrow, the name Charlie tattooed on her ankle and a scar on her right arm.

Crime Stoppers says Daniel is an "intelligent, kind-hearted mother of five young children." A resident of Detroit east side, she worked in the restaurant business, "has a love for people" and sought to share that by aspiring to work in the nursing field.

Anyone who has seen this missing woman, or who may know where she is, should call the Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-800-Speak Up (1-800-773-2587).
