	Based on the March 2026 court documents, it is heavily implied that Daniel has permanent brain injury sustained from ~~both his~~ [[self-harm]] and ~~the~~ abuse perpetrated by his mother. On the ~~competency~~ documents, it ~~states~~ that, along with ~~the~~ trauma sustained by him punching himself in the face, there were reports all the way from 2011 that states that Daniel's mother reported that he had a "non-accidental head injury" when he was only 3 weeks old. He also had a seizure when he was 5 months old. It is said that 1 out of 10 people who were hospitalized after a TBI will have seizures<ref>https://msktc.org/tbi/factsheets/seizures-after-traumatic-brain-injury</ref>. The court documents also states that Daniel reported about an incident where his mother hit him with a hammer when he was only 8 years old. All these circumstances may have exacerbated his cognitive difficulties and may have influenced his low IQ.		Based on the March 2026 court documents, it is heavily implied that Daniel has permanent brain injury sustained from [[self-harm]] and abuse perpetrated by either his [[Elisabeth Shimer\|mother]] or [[Travis Larson\|father]].

			In the documents, it stated that, along with trauma sustained by him punching himself in the face, there were reports all the way from 2011 that states that Daniel's mother reported that he had a "non-accidental head injury" when he was only 3 weeks old. He also had a seizure when he was 5 months old. It is said that 1 out of 10 people who were hospitalized after a TBI will have seizures.<ref>https://msktc.org/tbi/factsheets/seizures-after-traumatic-brain-injury</ref> The court documents also states that Daniel reported about an incident where his mother hit him with a hammer when he was only 8 years old. However, given Daniel's propensity to lie (especially about those close to him), this should be taken with a grain of salt.

			All these circumstances may have exacerbated his cognitive difficulties and may have influenced his low IQ.

	[[Spiddlekick Interview\|As noted]], Daniel was regularly medicated during his time attending school at and living at the [[Tennyson Center]]. ~~He claimed~~ that once a month, students would meet with a doctor to prescribe and check on the effects of medication supplied to them. Given Daniel's documented violence, both [[November 6th Arrest\|then]] and [[April 6th Incident\|now]], it is likely that he was put on some type of antipsychotic by the center.

	This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest\|just four weeks earlier]].

This was the fifth time Daniel had been arrested in 2024 alone, with the most recent occurring [[April 2nd Arrest\|just four weeks earlier]]. Unlike previous arrests, Daniel was ineligible for bond, and was subsequently never granted it.

	At the time of Daniel's arrest, it was believed that his manager, [[Clark]], had been apprehended by authorities at his job due to his association with Daniel over the previous 10 months. However, it was soon revealed that Clark and members of Daniel's [[management]] were investigated by authorities who sought information about threats Daniel had made. Afterward, Clark officially resigned from being Daniel's manager and admitted to lying about his entire existence to him. This aforementioned call was speculated to have been the last contact Daniel had with the outside world, but this would soon be proven false, as Clark continued to communicate with him months later.

	Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world was through sporadic phone correspondence, which was suspended for nearly four months until September. During this time, Daniel befriended [[Lil Sippy]] over the phone after he sent him a letter. He was in contact with [[Lil Sippy]] and [[Clark]] while in FCI Englewood through phone calls, emails, and letters. During his two brief stays at two correctional facilities in Oklahoma, he was in touch with [[Clark]] via phone calls. ~~However, since~~ his transfer to MCFP Springfield in late December 2024, communications ~~have been strictly~~ through letters, ~~although it appears that all communications have ceased permanently.~~ <ref>https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhen-did-this-happen-v0-9y2z539h55df1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1125%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Ddbff3157e15224b80753d2ed6d9eed7429966115</ref>		Following this, Daniel's contact with the outside world was through sporadic phone correspondence, which was suspended for nearly four months until September.

	This is one of the most significant events in Daniel's life, considering that he was at risk of being imprisoned for up to 65 years if found guilty on all charges, or be institutionalized for the rest of his life.

Likee Meltdown

	The '''Likee Meltdown,''' also known as '''Rest in Peace Dave and Grace VanderWaal''', was one of the earliest and longest [[incidents]] in the [[Daniel Larson]] story, occurring on June 25, 2021, and ending on the 26th. The incident surrounds Daniel using the video-sharing platform Likee in an effort to reach out to his current [[management]] and the "VanderWaal Team," before eventually escalating into a paranoid meltdown.		The '''Likee Meltdown,''' also known as '''Rest in Peace Dave and Grace VanderWaal''', was one of the earliest and longest [[incidents]] in the [[Daniel Larson]] story, occurring on June 25, 2021, and ending on the 26th. The incident surrounds Daniel using the video-sharing platform Likee in an effort to reach out to his current [[management]] and the "VanderWaal Team," before eventually escalating into a paranoid meltdown.

	Unlike subsequent meltdowns, this one was not in a single video. Instead, it is a series of clips posted on Likee, a video-posting platform Daniel used due to not having access to his phone, along with a YouTube video titled '''Rest in peace dave and grace vanderwaal'''.		This was the first time Daniel ever had a meltdown online. Unlike subsequent meltdowns, this one was not in a single video. Instead, it is a series of clips posted on Likee, a video-posting platform Daniel used due to not having access to his phone, along with a YouTube video titled '''Rest in peace dave and grace vanderwaal'''.

	This was due to him being convinced by [[trolls]] that [[Grace VanderWaal]], his longtime crush, had passed away, and the VanderWaal family was withholding information about his event. However, things took a sharp turn as Daniel began frantically demanding to be "let back on the team", threatening his own life and hitting his head, and fearing he would become [[Homeless Era\|homeless]]. Daniel soon starts blaming an unidentified individual known only as “JP”, and a caretaker,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj3n5bc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> for "all of this". The day after this, he uploaded a video saying that the police were on their way. The unknown individual known as "JP" was revealed to be Daniel's caretaker at the time on August 3, 2025. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtskdC7BVhs</ref>		This was due to him being convinced by [[trolls]] that [[Grace VanderWaal]], his longtime crush, had passed away, and the VanderWaal family was withholding information about his event.

	Adding to the weirdness, it is unclear what happened before or after the incident concluded. In addition to the confusion, JP's response video to the Likee Meltdown (at least according to comments on reddit) was subsequently lost.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/o9dvd7/who_is_jp/</ref> This incident also shocked a lot of fans, as ~~it marked the first time he~~ had a meltdown ~~online and hit himself~~.

It also highlighted the impact that trolls and delusions were beginning to have on his mental state.

	== Background ==		== Background ==
	Prior to the incident, Daniel somehow broke his phone after "tossing it into the air" and was using his laptop to give video updates instead. He reached out to the “VanderWaal family” (actually trolls posing as his management), asking for prayers and claiming they were in critical condition. He urged the so-called VanderWaal Team to spread the word as widely as possible. Daniel alleged that his access to Google and YouTube had been revoked despite prior “agreements,” leaving him without a reliable way to contact his team. As a result, he turned to Likee as an alternative platform, though he was briefly able to post on YouTube as well. He recorded video updates the day before but was unable to upload them until the following day. During these updates, Daniel expressed frantic pleas for [[Flexburger\|Josh]] and Jay to contact an individual named JP immediately due to an unspecified emergency. He switched to YouTube, where Daniel admitted to sending Grace VanderWaal explicit messages, expressed remorse for the distress he believed he had caused her, and claimed to be carrying on her “legacy” following her supposed death.

	However, the next day, Daniel got visibly distressed ~~and had his first online meltdown~~. He switched back to Likee. Throughout the meltdown, he expressed feelings of isolation and desperation, claiming that JP had threatened to kill him, forcing him to take these actions. He demanded to be reinstated on the VanderWaal team, insisting it was his only means of support and communication. Daniel made urgent pleas to specific team members—Josh, Jay, and the VanderWaal family—to respond immediately and engage with his Likee videos as proof they were receiving his messages. He repeatedly threatened self-harm and suicide if his demands were not met, at times hyperventilating, sobbing, and hitting himself. Daniel emphasized that he would only start taking down his videos once he received confirmation that he was back on the team. He also reported that police were being called into the situation due to the lack of responses and escalating threats.		However, the next day, Daniel got visibly distressed.

	:'''The Daniel Larson Wiki strictly prohibits contacting Daniel in any way. DO NOT send anything to Daniel, especially while he is incarcerated.''' As Daniel is in a federal prison, letters that are sent to him are read and logged by federal authorities.

April 6th Meltdown

Add location of the April 6th Meltdown Live Streams

	The second meltdown was far less extreme and occurred at the ending section of a 30 minute long livestream.<ref>https://archive.org/details/first-30-seconds-of-april-6th</ref> This livestream can still be accessed on YouTube under the title "Daniel Larson 20 miles to Boulder Colorado". During this second meltdown, he does the Angry Tongue several times, flips the camera off, and insults Bob using obscenities before ending the livestream. This second meltdown appeared to have occurred as a result of trolls tracking him down due to him obviously showcasing his location in the background, or at least his perception of people tracking him down based on trolls in the comment section. The '''April 6th Meltdown''' took place almost a year to the day after [[Bodega Incident\|Daniel was confronted in a bodega]] during the [[Travel Arc]].

The '''April 6th Meltdown''' took place almost a year to the day after [[Bodega Incident\|Daniel was confronted in a bodega]] during the [[Travel Arc]].

			== Travel Observations and Location Analysis ==

			During a series of livestreams and community-sourced footage, several public locations along Daniel’s route have been tentatively identified based on visual landmarks and geographic clues:

			* '''"Daniel Larson just got his new job threatened by the manager at Buffalo Wild Wings 😡":''' Daniel is observed passing in front of [https://maps.app.goo.gl/9MDdnxsESZ46DHpCA The Stillery]. This identification is supported by the presence of an octagon-shaped exterior structure with a pointed roof, suggesting the associated Buffalo Wild Wings was the restaurant located at [https://maps.app.goo.gl/rg4KAPTyLzTkHjxT7 10436 Towne Center Drive #100, Westminster, CO 80021].

			* '''"Bob help me NOW":''' Daniel is observed crossing a bridge approximately 2.3 miles from the previously identified point. Frames from the video match the Highway 128 overpass intersecting with Highway 136 ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/XRgMY59kyiysm9tT9 Google Maps]).

			* '''Community Footage:''' A Reddit user [https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1fwlxso/random_post_but_i_drove_past_daniel_during_his/ documented Daniel walking across this bridge]. The curvature of the road and relative positioning of the nearby bridge align closely with observations from "Bob help me NOW", further supporting the proposed route.
