Missing Pensacola Man Found Deceased Near Brewton
November 26, 2014
A missing Pensacola man last seen early Sunday morning has been found deceased near Brewton, AL, as the apparent result of a traffic accident.
Authorities said 39-year old Daniel Eric Doelker was found deceased Wednesday morning along with his vehicle in a deep ditch along Highway 31 near Creamer Dozier Service on Highway 31.
Earlier story:
The Sheriff’s Office received a report of a missing person, 39-year old Daniel Eric Doelker. He was described as being about 5-feet, 10-inches tall.
Doelker was last seen in the Brewton area November 23 around 1 am. Doelker should be driving a 2004 Toyota Tundra extended cab truck with Florida tag number G699FL.
He is a member of a hunting club off of Mancil Rock Road outside of East Brewton near Highway 29. He had been at the hunting camp over the weekend. Authorities and family members spent most of Tuesday searching for Doelker and his vehicile, including an aerial search. The search was concentrated around the hunting camp, which is an extremely remote area near the Conecuh National Forest, and on the roadways around the camp.
At this point, Escambia County (AL) Chief Deputy Mike Lambert said the incident is being treated as if foul play “might” be involved, only because his department works all missing persons cases in that manner until foul play is ruled out.
Anyone who has information or comes in contact with Doelker should notify Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Alabama at (251) 809-2154 or your local law enforcement agency.

My heart and prayers go out to Eric’s family espically his son Ricky. Eric and I met aqnd became friends after Hurricane Ivan when we both worked on Pensacola Navy Base. He was a wonderful person with a great soul and I will miss him very much!! Rest in Peace Eric!!!!
Was driving by this morning when the recovery process was going on. That is more like a gulley than a ditch. Glad he was found, but so sad for the families loss.

This is one of my dads friends hope he is okay and is found safe.
How sad! I hope they find him safe. I wonder why they didn’t call in the rescue squad. Several of those members are from that area and know the woods out three VERY well.
