»The Full Story
It's simply a mystery. Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone vanished without a trace last month and no one can understand why.
Police say on February 19, 2005, the couple went to Abilene's in Philadephia for drinks with friends. Witnesses say Danielle and Richard left the bar around 11:45 p.m., but they haven't been seen since. According to officials, Petrone's 2001 Dodge pick-up truck is missing, their credit cards and money haven't been touched, and their cell phones are turned off.
Friends say Danielle and Richard knew each other from high school. After graduation, both married other people. But after separating from their spouses, Danielle and Richard started dating 10 months ago. Richard owns his own bakery in Philadelphia, and Danielle is an underwriter for a local mortgage company in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.
Cops are baffled by the couple's mysterious disappearance, and are working hard to find out what happened to them.
"Since that mysterious night, February 19, 2005, dozens of people have been interviewed, various investigations conducted and numerous searches from land, water, and air were completed and still there are no signs of Richard and Danielle. We continue to ask the public for their assistance as this case remains an active missing persons investigation. We remain determined to find this couple," says Sgt.Tim Cooney.
