On the night of February 19, 2005, 34-year-old Danielle Imbo and 35-year-old Richard Petrone met up with friends at Abilene’s, a bar in Philadelphia. By all accounts, they were having a great time, reconnecting after a breakup weeks prior. At around 11:45 p.m., they said their goodbyes and left the bar, planning to head to Danielle’s home in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. But they never made it home.
Despite extensive searches and years of investigative efforts, there has never been a single confirmed sighting of Danielle, Richard, or the truck. And after two decades, their families are still left asking the same question—what happened to Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone?
34-year-old Danielle Ottobre and 35-year-old Richard Petrone were last seen at around 11:45 p.m. on February 19, 2005, leaving Abilene’s bar on South Street in Philadelphia. They were traveling in Richard’s 2001 Dodge Dakota pickup truck, which was black with a silver bottom portion, heading toward Danielle’s home in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. At the time of her disappearance, Danielle, who is a white female, was 5'5" tall and weighed approximately 120 lbs. She had hazel eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a dark jacket, a cream sweater, and blue jeans. She also wore three small silver rings on her middle finger and carried a black purse. She has a tattoo of flowers on her lower back. Richard, who is a white male, was 5'9" tall and weighed approximately 200 lbs. He had blue eyes and brown hair and was last seen wearing blue jeans and a gray Polo sweatshirt. On his left arm is a tattoo with the word "Angela," and on his right is a tattoo of clowns.
If you have any information about Danielle and Richard’s disappearance, please contact the Citizens Crime Commission tip line at 215-546-8477. There is a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved
