ABOUT THIS PREDATOR

WHO IS DANIEL KANE?

Daniel John Kane, Jr. is a 31-year old single white male who was born in Rochester, NY on July 14, 1988.  He grew up in upstate New York, including Rochester, Greece and Medina, NY.  He was previously a firefighter in the United States Air Force and a civilian firefighter at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.  He has a 8-year old German Shepherd named Heidi.  His family nickname is DJ.  He drives a 1989 reddish/maroon Chevy C/K 1500 truck.  He is currently unemployed and is transient - he sometimes lives at his Mom's home in Crestview, Florida but also resides at various women's homes in the Destin and Pensacola areas of FL from time to time. 

Daniel has a gun license, owns multiple handguns and assault rifles, and therefore should be considered armed and possibly dangerous.  He typically works out 5-6 days per week (usually at LA Fitness) but is unable to work out at this time due to the COVID quarantine.  He appears to have put on 10-20 pounds in the last year (as reflected in the first two photos on the home page).

He has multiple tattoos on his body (tribal on his arms, a guardian angel on one shoulder blade, "D and K Amor" on the other, and a "K" tattoo on his ring finger.)  Most of the time he has facial hair, but is sometimes clean-shaven.  He has a few acne scars on his face.

His IG page is called limegreenskatcat392, named for his previous vehicle which he wrecked promptly within a few months of receiving it as a gift from a woman he occassionally resides with in Florida. 

WHAT MAKES HIM DANGEROUS?

Daniel "trolls" for women in a variety of ways.  He regularly connects with women on multiple online dating websites, including Match, Tinder, Plenty of Fish, Seeking Arrangement and others.  He also targets women at truck meets and the gym.  His primary tactic is "fishing" for women on Facebook - mainly by connecting and reaching out to women through Facebook Messenger. He reaches out under the guise of a woman looking "familiar" and that he found them through the "People You May Know" feature on FB.  Once he messages them this way, he comments that he finds them attractive and can't believe "you're single." 

From there, the woman is intrigued and the dialogue begins.  He very quickly escalates the "relationship" with extreme flattery and sexual references.  He also starts sending multiple explicit photos and videos.  Daniel moves very quickly into "I love you" and "I want to marry you" and "I want a life with you."  This is a pattern I have experienced firsthand and I have also heard this same experience from many women who have been duped by Daniel and subsequently reached out to me.  

His target audience is typically "older women" in their 40's or 50's, but he has reached out to women as young as 17 and as old as 70 and every age in between.  From my personal experience, his "agenda" is to manipulate women EMOTIONALLY, FINANCIALLY, AND SEXUALLY.  He "geographically targets" women primarily in the Florida Panhandle, Greater Houston, and upstate New York areas, but has also been known to reach out to women in other areas, including CO, AL, and NC and other states.  

He also wants to get them "offline" as soon as possible by requesting their phone number so he can begin texting them.  He uses his "good looks" and flattery to create this persona of a "Prince Charming, "too good to be true" suitor who usually promises to love them forever and build a life together with him. The women who are long distance from him  often wire and transfer him money to help cover his bills or "gas money" - usually centered on a promise of a "happily ever after" with him as "Mrs. Kane."  

For those in his immediate area, his tendency is to escalate the relationship quickly, have sex with them, and then "go dark" on them as quickly as he surfaced. It is all "smoke and mirrors" because he continues "trolling" for new women almost daily through FB Messenger, private FB groups, and online dating sites -  always looking to move on to his "next victim."  This predator relies heavily on his military/veteran /firefighter background to attract his victims.  Another common lie he tells these women is that he works for KBR managing government contracts, when in actuality he was unemployed from Sept 2017-June 2018.

In addition to this predator behavior, Daniel also tends to buy, sell and trade guns and other arm items through online portals such as FB, ArmsList, LetGo and Offer Up. I would caution those who transact with him to take precautions also - as it is questionable as to the source of these goods and he may be involved in money laundering activity.  He is also very active in specialty clubs and groups in which he seeks homosexual hookups and "hosting", as well as offering services for kinksters and swingers groups (offering +1 threesomes and videos for ladies' husbands.)  He does not appear to have many limits wihen it comes to getting the "constant sexual attention" that he craves.  And he will get it at all costs no matter who he hurts, lies or steals from.

WHO AM I?

I created this website because I fell victim to this predator.  I am a well-educated, single, financially independent woman in my 40's who met Daniel on match.com in May 2017.  He reached out to me using the same tactics I have described above.  We "fell in love" and he moved from Florida to Texas in September 2017 to move in with me and to begin our life together.  I supported him completely while he "pretended" to look for a job.  Little did I know that he already had a full-time "job" of trolling for women all day every day, while I paid his bills, fed him and his dog, paid for everything and believed his empty words and lies.  After about 9 months, I began to get messages from other women via FB Messenger giving me a heads up about his "multiple lies and lives".  The only "good" I could think of to come from the cruelty and manipulation by this individual is for me to "pay it forward" to protect other innocent, unsuspecting women who fall for his deception and lies!  

Please know that I did a full background check on Daniel before he moved in with me, and all of his details "checked out."  I googled him and nothing came up.  So I thought I did proper due diligence; however, this person seems to be mentally ill (likely an undiagnosed sociopath) and his methodical targeting and abuse of women doesn't reflect on a background check!  My hope is that women who cross this person's path can gain awareness and protect themselves (emotionally, financially and sexually).  I have absolutely NO DOUBT that there are hundreds (and perhaps thousands) of victims out there, and many are coming forward and filing with the FBI and local law enforcement.  IT IS TIME TO STOP THIS PREDATOR.
