On May 23, 1993, 14-year-old Danielle Pitcher left the family home with her mother, Dorothy to walk to the local convenience store in Sunizona, Arizona to buy some cigarettes for her father. On their way, they stopped at Danielle’s sister's house, and then continued on their walk. Although witnesses spotted them walking along their route that day, Danielle and Dorothy never made it home and haven’t been seen in the 26 years since that day.
