Police, Family Search For Missing Man
UPDATED: 5:17 pm PST January 28, 2008
SAN DIEGO -- A 23-year-old man, in town for a convention last week, has disappeared and his family and friends are hoping someone knows what happened to him.
Dane Chandler Williams was last seen on Saturday at 2 a.m. at 6th Avenue and K Street in downtown San Diego. Authorities said he has not been heard from since. He did not return to his hotel room or show up for work.
Jason Marsh, Williams's cousin, told NBC 7/39 Dane was in town attending the ASR Convention at the San Diego Convention Center last week. He arrived from his home in Huntington Beach on Thursday. Marsh said his cousin went out partying with friends on Friday night at the Hard Rock Hotel and was last seen walking down the street alone.
Marsh said Williams never returned to his hotel room at the Sheraton. When officials went into his room, his clothes, luggage and Mac book were still in the room.
Williams works for Hurley International and is a surfer, Marsh said.
"He's a family person and always stays in touch with his family," he said.
Marsh also said police have been unable to trace his cousin's phone because it is turned off. He described his cousin as a responsible person who does not have a history of disappearing. Marsh spent the day Monday posting fliers and hopes someone can help his family find Williams.
Williams' mother, Valen Williams, said security camera tape from the Ramada Hotel in the Gaslamp, where he was last seen, will be reviewed to try to provide some clues in this case.
"He didn't disappear on his own. Something happened and I don't know what it is. Nobody does," said Williams mom.
Williams is 6 feet 1 inch tall, 175 pounds with blond hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black shirt with white stripes and blue jeans.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the San Diego Police Department at 619-531-2000.
