Summary
A New Jersey woman has been missing for nearly a year after taking a weekend camping trip. Danielle Lopez’s family should have celebrated her 38th birthday during that time. She was last seen walking near her blue two-door Hyundai Accent on a secluded dirt road deep in Penn State Forest around 6 p.m. on April 13, 2024.
Danielle went camping at the Brendan T. Byrne State Forest Campground with her boyfriend to watch an eclipse. On Friday night, she spoke with her mother from the campground and seemed in good spirits. On Saturday morning, she was seen grabbing coffee at a Wawa in nearby Vincentown.
That afternoon, Danielle was spotted driving down Lost Lane Road in Penn State Forest. Minutes later, she was seen walking. She asked a couple for help because her car was stuck in the mud, but they declined. After dark, a good Samaritan towed her car out, but she never returned to the vehicle and has not been seen since.
Danielle is 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighs 135 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. She usually wears glasses and was last seen wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and light-colored shoes. A limited-time $5,000 reward is available.
Anyone with information on Danielle Lopez is asked to call the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit at (609) 882-2000 ext. 2554 or the Community United Effort Center’s 24-hour hotline at (910) 232-1687.
