Police are still looking for Scott McDaniel, the Fort Atkinson resident who walked away from a group home Oct. 5.
As of Nov. 9, Lt. Brandon Sachse, of the Fort Atkinson Police Department, said police have no new information about the whereabouts of McDaniel and continue to ask the public for help in locating him.
According to information released by the Fort Atkinson Police Department through the state Crime Alert Network on Oct. 19, McDaniel, 41, is considered an endangered missing person.
Information earlier released by the department noted that McDaniel is schizophrenic and does not have his medications with him.
McDaniel does not have access to a car, according to police.
A statewide alert was issued, police noted, because McDaniel has made statements that he planned to go to Los Angeles to live on the streets.
The alert noted that McDaniel, on Oct. 5, traveled by cab to Mukwonago, arriving at an old elementary school friend’s house whom he hadn’t seen in years.
He was returned to Fort Atkinson on Oct. 5 by the former schoolmate’s parents, but exited the car just south of the city.
Sachse told Fort Atkinson Online that, as of Nov. 9, police have received few tips about McDaniel’s whereabouts and continue to have concern for his welfare.
If seen, the public is advised not to approach McDaniel, but instead notify law enforcement. The Fort Atkinson Police Department can be reached at 920-563-7777. Reference case number 21-10834.
