Missing Monday

The first Monday of the month is set aside by some area bloggers to highlight a local missing person's case. Since this is February let's remember the second anniversary of the disappearance of Richard Petrone and Danielle Imbo.

This is from the Petrone family's website:

February 19, 2005. Richard Petrone Jr. of South Philadelphia, and his girlfriend, Danielle (Ottobre) Imbo of Mount Laurel, N.J., were last seen at around 11:45 pm on Saturday, Feb. 19, 2005 after leaving Abilene's bar at 429 South Street in Philadelphia, where they met with some friends. They were heading for Richard's 2001 black Dodge Dakota pickup truck, PA license plate # YFH-2319 parked in the area.

Danielle, Richard, or the truck haven't been seen since and there have been no traces or clues as to their whereabouts.

The couple planned to spend the night at Danielle's house in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. The next day, Richard was to come back to his apartment on Snyder Avenue near 16th Street to watch the Daytona 500. No one knows if the couple ever made it to Danielle's house Saturday night.

Richard is 35 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, 200 pounds and has brown hair, and blue eyes. He has an "Angela" tattoo on his left arm and clowns on his right arm. Richard was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers. Danielle is 5 feet 5 inches tall, 117 pounds, with hazel eyes, fair skin and brown hair. She has a tattoo of flowers on her lower back. She was wearing a black jacket, cream-colored sweater and blue jeans.
