Prologue:
Have you ever wondered what happens to people who go missing and are never found, or wondered where people go when they vanish without a trace…… These are the exact questions that have plagued Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone’ families for 15 long years. To all who knew them, it appeared as though the young couple disappeared into thin air. The families of both Richard and Danielle have firmly believed since 2005, that there was no way either of them would ever just leave their children behind without another thought. That just wasn’t how the pair was, they loved their children and families fiercely. After a fun night out with friends in Philadelphia in 2005, Richard and Danielle went missing and were never seen again, and neither was their truck. All of this leads us to wonder, did someone make Richard and Danielle disappear on purpose?
Overview:
It was a cold night on South Street in Philadelphia in 2005. Danielle and Richard had gone out separately with friends, then decided to meet up with each other at a different bar later that night. The pair had known each other for years, and they were known to date casually on and off. On this particular night, it appeared that they were definitely on, as the pair had plans to go back to Danielle’s New Jersey home to spend the night together there. It has been reported that Danielle and Richard enjoyed their night out together, they were seen kissing and holding hands throughout the night, and to friends it seemed like Danielle was finally able to relax after several rough months. She had just gotten out of a relationship with her ex husband Joe, and they had gone through a bitter divorce and custody battle. This was probably one of the first times that she was really able to let go and have a good time with Richard publicly since her divorce.
The pair had planned to drive back to Danielle’s New Jersey apartment in Richards 2001 black Dodge Dakota. I have attached a photo below for visual reference.
The pair spent the night at a bar called Abilene’s. Through the whole night, It appeared to everyone who had been with Richard and Danielle that they had definitely had a good time, and there hadn’t seem to be any trouble or drama. Overall, Danielle and Richard seemed to be having a great time out with their friends. Danielle and Richard were planning on spending the night together at Danielle’s apartment across the river so it seems like the pair was definitely becoming very close with each other.
Before leaving the bar that night Richard had bragged to friends that he had gotten a great parking spot and was very thankful because of how cold it was that night in Philadelphia. It was freezing out and he had said that he was so happy that he had got a close spot to the bar. However, it appears that Danielle and Richard never made it back to her apartment, and potentially never even made it back to New Jersey. The following day after Danielle and Richard‘ night out with friends in Philadelphia, Danielle was supposed to be with her son who was going to be dropped off by her ex husband Joe lmbo, and she also had an appointment with Richard’ sister to get her haircut. But, before that Danielle’s brother came over to her apartment to help her out with a curtain rod that she needed help putting up. I’m sure that newly divorced Danielle, who was now living alone, probably greatly appreciated having such a great brother around to help her if she needed it. Her brother found her apartment empty when he arrived but fixed her curtain rod, then he left.
It wasn’t until later when Danielle missed her hair appointment and wasn’t there to pick up her son…. that people started to get worried. It was then discovered that Richard couldn’t be located either, and he wasn’t picking up his phone. Soon, a massive search for the pair would begin….

Without A Trace 
I guarantee the ex husband had them killed by a professional. He wanted the kid. They were fighting over custody. Also this story said he wanted her back and she had moved on. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come to this conclusion. I mean who would get what they wanted from her being gone? Only one person. The ex. He’s probably a narcissistic and couldn’t accept that she didn’t want him back. And he wanted the kid. So he had an alibi. He was with his family. Perfect alibi to set up. And he showed up the next morning to bring the kid back to the mother as planned. All looks normal. That’s why he got a hit man to knock them off. If he couldnt have her back and probably not getting full custody of the kid what to do? Get rid of her. They said her ex and the boyfriend had words. The ex blamed the boyfriend for her not taking him back. He told him to f— off so they could get back together. The new boyfriend said no. He knew they were going out that night. She probably told him cause he got the kid. Or followed them.
Probably 2 people. Waited for them to come out of the bar. Probably was parked close to their car or followed them until they came to a remote area. Maybe a set up fender bender. They stopped. A gun was pulled on them. They were forced in the killers car. Maybe in the trunk. Second person got in his truck and had plenty of time to drive a long ways to another state before the families started looking for them. Probably burned the car. Or in a river in another state. They took both victims somewhere and shot them. Buried them very deep in a remote area. In 2 separate places. Not together. Or burned their bodies and buried what was left. Then waited a while and got their money. Probably through a PO box. Maybe in increments. Problems solved. .
Man dead cause he’s the reason she didn’t want the ex back. Mother is dead. If he can’t have her no one else can. About he gets the kid. And no child support to pay. Did he declare her dead after the 7 years? If so the kid got all her assets meaning daddy got it.
I’m not a detective but I figured it out from the get go.
But where did the money come from to pay the killers? Did they look at his finances? Did he take money from any accounts? Did he borrow it from his parents? Look at their finances too. Hes doing well at appearing innocent. Hes even letting her family have the boy twice a year. I would say the FBI is trying to put the case together for a definite conviction. But 17 years?
Bring him in. Interrogate him until he confesses. No matter how long it takes. He’ll probably talk cause he’s a narcissistic. He just knows he’s gotten away with it. Tell him
Someone has come forward. The police can lie. This guy is the mastermind and the reason for them being dead.
