In January 2005, the Hell’s Angels in NY literally declared war on the Philadelphia Pagans, and things got really ugly. There were murders, one of a HA leader on I- 76. The Pagans had an alliance with the Philly crime family. They were based in South Philly. Richard Petrone was living in South Philly at the time. (His family’s business was in Ardmore but he was residing in the city at the time).
There is no evidence that I know of linking RP to these organizations; but the timing is interesting. Also interesting: a possible link to the Ray Gricar case. Ray Gricar also went missing in early 2005. An informant linked to HA said RH was murdered and buried in a mineshaft along with 4 other bodies of people killed around that same time. I don’t know if it makes sense in the RG case but if it’s true about the bodies, the timing adds up.
Watch the video again. Anthony Giampetro is who they interviewed from Adventures with Purpose, not the UID.Same article now says its been identified as Anthony Giampetro
Vehicle with human remains found submerged in Darby Creek. Not super far from Philly. No word on vehicle type or how long it’s been there. Probably not them but thought I’d share.
Officials: Human remains found inside submerged vehicle in Ridley Township

This weekend, YouTube dive team “Adventures With Purpose” cracked one cold case—by finding the car of a man missing for 19 years. This week, they’re trying to solve another high-profile mystery—the case of missing couple Imbo and Petrone.
19 Years Later, Missing Man Apparently Found in Delaware Co. Creek
Just saw that Adventures with Purpose was searching for Danielle and Richard. Looks like they have not found anything yet but stated they will be back to search again.
I have never felt like they just drove into the water. I’m from the Philly area and find it extremely hard to believe that would have been possible where they were at and where they were going. If you’re from the area you probably agree that it doesn’t really make sense. It’s also a flat, extremely urban area.
For this reason, I have always suspected foul play. I can’t believe it has been so long and the families don’t have the answers they long for. I truly hope they can eventually find peace.
I was thinking about these two today. Actually, I think about them every day as I drive home from work on 295. Has it been confirmed that Richard's car was not seen crossing back over the bridges from philly to south jersey? The Ben Franklin, Betsy Ross, Walt Whitman? Tycony Palmyra? How about Burlington Bristol? If none of these bridges show the car crossing back into NJ, then that means (1) they never left PA, or (2) they used a different bridge, perhaps something farther away like Trenton Makes?
I didn't know she had a child, either.Watching this case on disappeared. It is so heartbreaking. I don't think I was aware she had a toddler. This is one of the strangest cases in the history of crime IMO.
Richard had a daughter as well IIRC.
