Daniel Traina (8 of Diamonds, Florida)

Our card this week is Daniel Traina, the 8 of Diamonds from Florida.

49-year-old Daniel Traina was hard to miss.  The Six-foot-four happy-go-lucky guy was always bopping around the West Palm Beach suburb of Lake Park. … well known to bartenders, store clerks, and neighbors.  

So it was mind-boggling when, in May of 2021, Daniel walked out of a 7-Eleven next to Florida’s busy Federal Highway … and vanished into the sticky, humid night… leaving behind NO clues. 

And as investigators have tried to retrace Daniel’s final movements and work their way through those closest to him, the case has taken on a distinctly South Florida feel. An ocean-side town, a 7-Eleven sign glowing in the dark, a cast of eccentric characters, conflicting stories, and a mystery that, five years later, still has everyone asking: how did someone who was so hard to miss vanish without a trace? 

• If you know anything that can help the Traina family get answers about what happened to Daniel, call the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office at (561) 688-4000. Or you can submit an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County through their website at crimestoppersPBC.com.
