Summary

"Tips throughout time have indicated logically that this is not a kidnapping case. We're looking very closely at a murder-for-hire scenario."

On the evening of 19 February 2005, Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone Jr. met up with some friends along Philadelphia's South Street. There, at a bar called Abilene, they hung out for a bit and watched a live band, then reportedly left in a good mood at about 11:45 PM.

The following morning, no trace of either Danielle nor Richard could be found. Attempts to find them, as well as Richard's 2001 Dodge Dakota, have proven unsuccessful over the years.

It's not hard to imagine South Street in February of 2005. We've all seen Philadelphia

0:45.9

depicted on the screen a thousand times. The steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art

0:51.6

so famous from the Rocky movies. Independence Hall were both the declaration of independence and

0:57.4

the Constitution were signed. And more commonplace but equally character defining row houses,

1:03.6

shoulder to shoulder in working class, and someone say gentrified neighborhoods. But for a second,

1:09.4

just imagine it's cold. The sun set hours ago. Chimneys all over the city belched hot gases into

the frigid Indigo sky. It's almost midnight, a Saturday. South Street is alive with party people.

Dodge Dakota pickup truck with Pennsylvania license plates YFH2319 is also missing.

There may be a NASCAR sticker in the rear window. Daniel and Richard both had children from

2:13.9

prior relationships. Richard's daughter, Angela, was 14, and Daniel had a son who was still a
