The bizarre case of Richard Petrone and Danielle Imbo

How, exactly, do two people disappear off the face of the Earth. And their truck along with them?

That’s what investigators continue to try to figure out in the bizarre disappearance of Richard Petrone and his girlfriend, Daniele Imbo.

It was four years ago tonight when the couple left a nightspot on South Street in Philadelphia after a night out. They told the couple they were with they were heading to Imbo’s home in Mount Laurel, N.J.

They have not been seen since. Nor has Petrone’s pickup truck. Not a trace. No use of their cell phones. No activity on their credit cards or bank accounts. Just gone. Vanished.

With the anniversary here again, their family and investigators are again asking for the public’s help. The FBI said last year they were investigating the possibility that the couple might have been the victims of a murder-for-hire plot.

How exactly do two people and a pickup truck simply disappear? That’s the question that has hounded police and family members, those who knew and loved Petrone and Imbo, for four years.

So far there are no answers, only more questions.
