"I had to go find him myself ..."

On Thursday, Buckeye Police released a report about the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of geologist Daniel Robinson.

The 24-year-old went missing from a job site in a remote part of Buckeye on the morning of June 23. The report revealed what police learned in the days before and after his disappearance.

Daniel Robinson hasn't been seen since June 23. The geologist went missing after leaving a worksite in the desert in his Jeep Renegade.

Daniel's father, David, and the co-founder of Black and Missing Foundation, Inc., Derrica Wilson, spoke with Roland Martin about the disappearance of Daniel Robinson
______
There are thousands of missing people of color across the country.

Last year, there were 543,018 people reported missing. Nearly 40 percent of those were people of color. But we only make up 13 percent of the population.

Mainstream media does not put as much effort into missing people who look like us as they do white folks.

Why? According to the Black & Missing Foundation, there are three main reasons for the disparity in media coverage.
Runaways, a lot of minority children are initially classified as runaways, so there is no Amber alert.
For missing minority adults, it is believed they have some association with criminal involvement, gangs, and drugs.
America is just desensitized. They think missing minorities live in impoverished conditions, and crime is just a regular part of their lives.
