The parents of a Victorian man who went missing four years ago travelled to Broome last week as part of an ongoing national search for their son.

Lori and Des O’Keeffe arrived in town looking for clues and any information leading to the whereabouts of 28-year-old Daniel O’Keeffe.

Daniel disappeared from his home in Geelong on July 15, 2011 and never returned.

His family believe he was suffering from depression at the time of his disappearance.

They launched the Dan Come Home social media campaign in the hope someone would come forward with information.

Since then, there has only been one sighting of Daniel in Queensland, four months after his disappearance.

Speaking to the [|Broome Advertiser] last week, Mrs O’Keeffe said she and her husband had decided to come to Broome after visiting Darwin as part of their first trip to WA and the Northern Territory.

“There was no particular sighting that brought us this way but we’ve never been this way and I was wondering if this could be the kind of place Dan could be,” she said. “If Dan is living rough, it’s going to have to be in a climate such as this.”

Mrs O’Keeffe said the trip had resulted in a number of good interactions with local police and having a better understanding of the region.

Despite her son being missing for four years, Mrs O’Keeffe said the family had never given up hope.

“Hope is the only thing we can live on at the moment because the alternative would just be too painful for us,” she said.

“We just hope and pray each day that Dan is alive and well.”

Mrs O’Keeffe asked the community to help them in their search by visiting the social media website at www.dancomehome. com.
