Deputies consider foul play in man’s suspicious disappearance

A missing San Diego county man last seen in Anza is considered to have disappeared under suspicious circumstances, sheriff’s deputies said Thursday.

Daniel Joseph Frank Foster, 29, of Fallbrook, has not been heard from since Feb. 7, said sheriff’s Lt. Paul Bennett, adding Foster “may have met with foul play.”

Foster was described as white, 6 feet 3, 180 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes.

San Diego sheriff’s investigators have been looking into his disappearance since he was reported missing on March 3, but Riverside sheriff’s deputies recently joined the investigation after receiving reports that he may
have been spotted in Anza, Bennett said.

“One of the big problem is that Dan left his cell phone behind so either he dropped it or he intentionally left it,” said Nancy Foster, Daniel’s mother.

Foster told KESQ and CBS Local 2 reporter Joe Galli that her son worked in Anza farming marijuana.

“My son doesn’t go missing for two months without contacting anyone. My fear is that he got involved with some bad people and something bad happened to him,” said Nancy Foster.

Anyone with information on Foster’s whereabouts was urged to contact Investigator Robert Stites from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, Special Investigations Bureau, at (951) 233-4795 or at rstites@riversidesheriff.org .
