A warrant has been issued for Daniel Butler, a local musician and guitarist based in the Omaha, Nebraska area, who is accused of fraud and failing to fulfill paid performance obligations. Butler is wanted by law enforcement in connection with multiple incidents where he accepted payments for gigs but failed to appear, citing false emergencies. The investigation centers on a specific incident on August 29, 2026, where Butler sent identical cancellation texts to three separate event organizers, claiming his band was involved in an accident. This claim was debunked when organizers realized he could not have been in multiple places simultaneously. One victim, Robin Heller, mother of the bride, reported that Butler accepted a down payment in June and additional funds later, only to cancel minutes before her daughter’s wedding in Elkhorn. The cancellation caused significant distress, as the family had spent $500 constructing a stage for his performance. Another organizer, Shannon Bombeck, reported standing up for a $1,000 gig in Kearney, Buffalo County, after initially worrying for Butler’s safety. A band member confirmed that the group had disbanded months prior, indicating Butler booked events independently. While Butler has responded via text, expressing shame and regret and stating he is living out of his car while attempting to repay victims, an arrest warrant has been filed in Buffalo County following the Omaha police report. Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding Butler’s whereabouts to contact the investigating agencies. The case highlights allegations of financial fraud and deception against event organizers in the Nebraska region.
