While Daniel was missing, there were some claims of sightings and interactions with varying degrees of validity.

TikTok user "trudyparker1" uploaded a video of someone they claim is Daniel Larson, and much of the community seems to agree.

On February 22, 2023, a Reddit user named "Ill_Editor1804" made a post claiming to have witnessed Daniel being kicked off a bus for refusing to pay the fare.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/daniellarsonfans/comments/119ddj8/spotted_daniel_after_getting_kicked_off_a_bus/</ref> The user uploaded a video that they captured shortly after the interaction. The man in the video is wearing the same clothing that Daniel was last seen in, which adds to the credibility of the sighting. Notably, he also appears to be bald and is seen with Daniel's comically large nose. It is very widely believed that this was, in fact, Daniel. | On February 22, 2023, a Reddit user named "Ill_Editor1804" made a post claiming to have witnessed Daniel being kicked off a bus for refusing to pay the fare.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/daniellarsonfans/comments/119ddj8/spotted_daniel_after_getting_kicked_off_a_bus/</ref> The user uploaded a video that they captured shortly after the interaction.

The user made an update to the post, claiming that this sighting had occurred on Sahara Ave. after the westbound freeway entrance (coordinates appear to be: 36.14426, -115.1823), and that Daniel had a phone in his hand, which was either dead or broken. The user also mentioned that Daniel sounded very upset and frantic, "almost like something did happen". | The user made an update to the post, claiming that this sighting had occurred on Sahara Ave. after the westbound freeway entrance (coordinates appear to be: 36.14426, -115.1823), and that Daniel had a phone in his hand, which was either dead or broken.

==The Return== | ==The Return== | ||
[[Image:Tyrone.png|thumb|215x215px|The suspect of the attack!]]On February 23, 2023, at approximately 4:30 PM PST, Daniel returned to TikTok on a new account named "DanielLarsonLV." He uploaded a series of videos explaining his absence, claiming it was due to an attack by two "fans." According to Daniel, these two fans approached him at a casino, offered to buy him food, which they did. While walking with Daniel, offering to buy him a hotel room, one of the fans struck him from behind, then pushed him to the ground. The two then ran off with Daniel's phone. The altercation resulted in Daniel receiving a fractured skull, which would take three-to-six months to heal. This diagnosis occurred during a hospital visit, which seems to verify claims of people seeing Daniel getting into an ambulance. Following this, Daniel contacted the authorities and pressed charges against the two, stating that one seemed more complicit than the other. | |||
In addition to his return, Daniel claimed that he was receiving $380 in food stamps per month and had secured housing through a company called Sober Homes. Both of these services are based in Nevada, indicating that Daniel had no plans to return to LA at the time. Despite this, Daniel later continued the [[Travel Arc]]. | |||
The identity of the attackers is completely unknown. Daniel described one of them as a long-haired African American male with dreads, and a small Hispanic male who was the person whom he believed had taken his phone.<ref>https://archive.org/details/7203523271889931562</ref> There has been speculation as to who his assailant was, however, no claim has been validated. | |||
Daniel claimed that [[Grace VanderWaal]]'s ex, [[Tyrone]], was responsible for attacking him.{{Citation Needed}} He further alleged that an African-American male with long dreads attacked him. Members of the community named him [[Tyrone]] after Daniel Larson called him this on his social media. Some members of the fan base believe that this attack was planned by either Daniel Larson's old [[management]] or by disgruntled fans. Though, this is most likely false. | |||
==Homeless (Again)== | |||
On February 27, 2023, at 11:14 PST, Daniel posted a video to his TikTok account saying that Sober Homes (or as he pronounces it, Sober Homies), a housing service he was attempting to get into, had kicked him out of their service, due to Daniel not having enough money to pay for his rent. Earlier in the day, Daniel had stated that he would be homeless for another few months. This resulted in the February 27 situation, during which Daniel uploaded over 50 videos in one day. | |||
Later that same day, Daniel [[Dine and dashes|dine and dashed]] at a Dave and Buster's. Daniel made a few TikToks talking about his bank account while sitting at a booth inside the Dave & Busters, before making another one asking for a $30 donation to pay his bill.<ref>https://archive.org/details/20230301_20230301_0323</ref><ref>https://archive.org/details/Z6BWN61qBqR3d1vQRrlRkX</ref> Around an hour later, he posted a video of him walking outside of a building, explaining that there was an issue with his credit card, and that he was banned from the shopping center that the Dave & Busters is located at. A bit after that video, he posted another video in which he claims that the February 23 attack happened on [[Fremont Street]]. | |||
On February 28, Daniel privated his TikTok account after his phone number had been leaked. The leak may be related to him giving his phone number to somebody pretending to be Grace VanderWaal. Later that night, Daniel was encouraged to go live, which he did. He spent the entire livestream asking for Grace and Dave VanderWaal to join. Since his account was private however, it was hard for some fans to watch it if they had not been following him already. The livestream ended swiftly, and mostly uneventfully.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iThxUa-bk2I</ref> | |||

===The Firework Threat=== | ===The Firework Threat=== | ||
While Daniel was inside a restaurant, he started uploading several videos. Around this time, Daniel posted a video in which he said, "Where is the nearest firework shop?" and then, "I have an idea," while smiling at the camera. Many were alarmed by this. | |||
The situation escalated ten minutes later, when Daniel uploaded another video. He had left the restaurant and was walking outside. In this first alarming video, Daniel said, "Ok folks, get ready, for the biggest incident of all of Daniel Larson history so far, let's do this." A few videos later, Daniel posted the most concerning one, in which he claimed he was going to go into a casino with a firework then, "...I can see how real firing works," before laughing at the camera.<ref>https://archive.org/details/r14FSph8sgHCQqVqBIf2l0</ref><ref>https://archive.org/details/fireworks_202303</ref> Considering [[Second Jail Arc|what would happen a year after this]], these threats would not serve him well. | |||
| | |||
< | Daniel also went live shorty after posting the videos. The videos resulted in the TikTok account, daniellarsonlv, to be banned while he was still live streaming.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3oYY3Y63YM</ref> This would not be Daniel's last time making [[April 6th Meltdown|threats]]. | ||

He [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9Y5UdpLB4o4 uploaded a video] using the YouTube Shorts feature in which he said that the 'lovedaniellarsonforever' account had been banned. Strangely, the TikTok account was still up, as well as the three videos that were on it. However, it is more likely that the account was hacked and he no longer had access to it. Many people in the comments pointed this out, but Daniel never responded to any of them.[[File:Daniel Larson prison arc poll.png|thumb|[https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/11gbhls/how_will_this_arc_end/ Fans share their predictions on what will happen next.]|left]]Daniel went on to create a new TikTok account, daniellarsonnyc. In the first of many videos of this account, a red wall with holes can be seen behind Daniel.{{Citation Needed}} Daniel discusses a wide variety of topics in the beginning of this account, such as a possible collaboration with Snoop Dogg, a guest appearance on Ellen DeGeneres's show, and requests for his fans to spread this new account to the subreddit and the Daniel Larson Wiki.<ref>https://archive.org/details/7205776571632717098</ref> Daniel made several other videos at this location, one in which he said that his livestream for that night was 'cancelled' because he did not have enough followers. | ||
The next day, March 2, fans in the subreddit noticed that Daniel had not uploaded anything new that day. They made theories, such as Daniel getting on a bus back to Denver to find Bob.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/11g8czb/just_floating_a_theory_out_there_did_this_nasty/</ref> Their questions were answered when multiple Redditors<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/11g97dw/arrested_update/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/11g9wrd/he_is_in_custody_of_lvmpd/</ref> | The next day, March 2, fans in the subreddit noticed that Daniel had not uploaded anything new that day.

There was an immediate reaction in the subreddit, with some members saying that he would get hurt in prison, others glad he was arrested, and some asking for security camera footage of the arrest. Most people seemed to agree that he would probably get out soon, as it was only a misdemeanor. Some fans wanted to keep him in prison, and decided to send the video of the firework threat to the police department to possibly get Daniel in more trouble.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/11g6ped/can_someone_link_the_vids_of_him_talking_about/</ref> | There was an immediate reaction in the subreddit, with some members saying that he would get hurt in prison, others glad he was arrested, and some asking for security camera footage of the arrest.

[[File:Sausage Pic.png|thumb|204x204px|Daniel posted this picture shortly before leaving for Phoenix.]] | |||
Between March 2 and 14, 2023, Daniel did not post to any of his social media accounts and claimed to have been in a mental hospital in Las Vegas. Daniel claimed that one of the psychiatric doctors didn't want to release Daniel due to his online presence, and that, "....they said that it was ugly." Daniel claimed that he had been put there due to another attack at The STRAT Hotel, which resulted in him being banned for life.{{Citation Needed}} | Between March 2 and 14, 2023, Daniel did not post to any of his social media accounts and claimed to have been in a mental hospital in Las Vegas.

On March 17, Daniel posted a video in which he stated, "Okay, my bus ticket is now booked from Las Vegas to Phoenix."{{Citation Needed}} Later, Daniel uploaded 11 videos of himself on the Las Vegas monorail. He also uploaded a screenshot of Phoenix Arizona on Google Images, and a picture he took of himself with a sausage in his mouth. Around six hours later, he uploaded another video saying, "On my way to Phoenix, baby." He documented his five hour journey through several videos in which he is on a bus. In these videos, he recorded himself or the landscape as the bus passed it by. | |||
