Summary

2014 - Fortuna, California. In 2014, Danielle Bertolini went missing in Humboldt County, California. She was a childhood friend of mine from Maine, and her case has never been solved. But there is a person of interest... and Danielle isn't the only woman who was last seen alive with him. Joining me this week is Detective Brian Taylor of the Fortuna Police Department to talk about his involvement on the case, and The Murder Squad's Billy Jensen, who wrote about Danielle in his book, Chase Darkness With Me. (July 2022 update: Please note this episode was recorded and released over a year prior to any allegations about Jensen coming to light. While I work on making updated edits, this episode will remain as originally recorded and edited because some of the insight is still important to moving the case forward.) This is Murder Moutain, Part Two: The Danielle Bertolini Investigation. SIGN THE PETITION – I am asking the Humboldt County DA to prioritize this case. You can help us make this happen. Please listen to Danielle's story and share this petition. Detailed sources can be found on murdershetold.com Connect on Instagram @murdershetoldpodcast and on Facebook.
