Hide AdAs this Saturday marks six months since they last saw him, Daniel's brother Robbie admits friends and family are running short of ideas.


"Sadly there are no new updates and it’s starting to become very hard where to look next as we seem to have exhausted our options," he said.
"If anything new was to come to light we would look straight into it.
"The main thing for me is that if Daniel is still out there somewhere he just lets someone know that he's safe."

Hide AdRobbie said they have messaged homeless prevention organisations nationwide to ask them to keep a look out for Daniel, and to let either the police or family know if he’s been seen.


Since Daniel's disappearance, police have searched the river and surrounding area extensively.
The Lancashire Police Dogs unit, the Drone Team and the North West Underwater Search and Marine Unit have been supported by Lancaster Area Search and Rescue, the National Police Air Service and search dogs from Lancashire Fire and Rescue in the search.
Voluntary underwater search team Beneath the Surface have also searched parts of the river twice.
