The unoccupied vehicle of a Hobart, Indiana, man was found Thursday afternoon near the Sunlight Creek Bridge. The vehicle is registered to Lance Daghy. Updates from Daghy’s family to the Porter County Facebook group, asking for community members help, stated he had been missing since June 2, 2022.
The Park County Sheriff’s Office received a report on Thursday that a 2018 Jeep Wrangler had been parked in the area, unattended, for several days. According to a press release it has been determined that the vehicle had been in the area since June 5, and possibly earlier.
Search and rescue is currently utilizing ground teams to attempt to locate Daghy.
“It is unknown as to whether he had the appropriate equipment and supplies for a multiple day stay in the wilderness, and it has been reported that he has no real backpacking or camping experience. Daghy has no known ties to the area,” the press release said.
According to posts to a county Facebook page by a person who identified as Daghy’s daughter, Daghy left without a cellphone, personal belongings or indication of where he was going. This was described as unusual for Daghy.
Daghy’s family filed a missing person’s report between June 3 and June 6.
“Daghy is a white male, five foot six inches, one hundred and thirty pounds with blue eyes and sandy blond hair,” the press release stated.
If anyone has seen or had contact with Daghy they are encouraged to call 307-527-8700 or 307-754-8700.
