Reward boosted for missing couple
[size=-1]By Sam Wood[/size]
[size=-1]INQUIRER STAFF WRITER[/size]
The reward for information leading to the whereabouts of a missing Philadelphia-area couple grew today to $100,000, a spokesman for the Citizens' Crime Commission said.
Danielle Imbo, 34, and Richard Petrone, 35, were last seen by friends on Feb. 19 leaving Abilene, a South Street nightclub. The couple told the friends they were headed back to Imbo's home in Mount Laurel, N.J., but they never arrived there.
They were travelling in Petrone's black Dodge pickup, which is also missing.
Since then, police in New Jersey and Pennsylvania have searched for the couple by land, sea and air, covering an area from Tinicum, Delaware County, to the Jersey Shore. Tomorrow friends plan to distribute fliers at a mall on Staten Island in the search for the pair.
Both Imbo and Petrone have children from previous relationships: Imbo a 2-year-old son and Petrone a 14-year-old daughter. Relatives have said that neither would take off without checking in on their children.
The money has been posted by friends and relatives, the commission said.
Anyone with information about the missing couple is asked to call the Citizens' Crime Commission at 215-546-TIPS (215-546-8477).

For 3 ½ months, the families of Danielle Imbo and Rich Petrone have been waiting for some sign.
That they're alive.
That they're dead.
Anything.
Instead, there's been nothing
Rich Petrone's family believes he's not coming back, and they are grieving.
Danielle Imbo's family can't see it that way. They haven't given up. "I really feel that if my sister were dead, I would feel it, my mother would feel it," said Ottobre. "Some type of evidence would show up, a body, an odor..
Read the whole article. It talks about the tension between the Imbo and Petrone families. Richard and Danielle had broken up a few weeks before the went missing.

This part breaks my heart:Rachael said:

"As much as I would want it to be different," said his father, Richard, "in my heart, and in my gut, and in my soul, I know my son's gone."
And he added: "Somebody decided, for some reason, they weren't going to see another sunrise..."

... And this part concerns me:Rachael said:
About two weeks before the disappearance, Petrone and Danielle broke up again. Lavita said Danielle told her, "I think I should be alone..."
However Danielle Imbo felt about Rich Petrone, she definitely wanted to see him the night they disappeared, said Lavita and her mother. The three women had dinner together that night, with other friends, and Imbo said she was looking forward to seeing Petrone, they said.
"Rich called her and said he missed her," said Lavita. "He said let's get together, and she agreed..."
***********************************************************
I wonder if this was the first time they had seen each other since the most recent break-up. I also wonder if they had maintained contact over the phone or if Richard called her out of the blue after they'd been apart for two weeks.

IF THERE'S a hell, this is what it must be like.
For 3 ½ months, the families of Danielle Imbo and Rich Petrone have been waiting for some sign.
That they're alive.
That they're dead.
Anything.
Instead, there's been nothing.
"Not a lipstick, not a bag, not a shoe, not a car, not an eyewitness, not a tip," said Imbo's brother, John Ottobre. "Not anything."
It was on Feb. 19 that the pair left a bar on South Street and vanished into the night. Their families, their friends and the police don't believe they ran away. Everyone is all but certain that something terrible has happened to them. But what?
With nothing to hold onto, the families are left with unending grief, and stubborn hope.
And they have taken divergent paths.
Anyone with information can call 215-546-TIPS. You do not have to give your name.
Petrone and Imbo were traveling in Petrones 2001 Dodge Dakota pickup (black on silver) with Pennsylvania license plate YFH 2319. The truck has a NASCAR #99 decal on the rear window.

Rich Petrone's family believes he's not coming back, and they are grieving.
"As much as I would want it to be different," said his father, Richard, "in my heart, and in my gut, and in my soul, I know my son's gone."
And he added: "Somebody decided, for some reason, they weren't going to see another sunrise."
Danielle Imbo's family can't see it that way. They haven't given up. "I really feel that if my sister were dead, I would feel it, my mother would feel it," said Ottobre. "Some type of evidence would show up, a body, an odor...
"The nothingness," he said, "is what gives me hope."
Danielle's estranged husband, Joe Imbo, says he believes he'll see her again.
"I can't look into my son's eyes and think she's not coming back," he says.
But the mystery has created its own demons. And the families are looking at each other with growing tension and suspicion.
Those who know the Petrones say the family wonders whether Joe Imbo might have had something to do with the couple's disappearance.
Those who know Joe Imbo say he wonders whether something in Rich Petrone's life may have caught up with him, or whether Petrone himself is responsible.
No one is making public accusations, but the Petrone and Imbo families aren't talking with each other anymore. Danielle's brother says he and his mother are caught in the middle.
"The words and animosity between Joe Imbo and the Petrones are not going to bring back my sister," said Ottobre. "And I feel it's a waste of energy."
Police, meanwhile, have drawn no conclusions. Because of Joe Imbo's estranged relationship with Danielle, and because Rich Petrone was with her that night, investigators have looked closely at both men, said Philadelphia Police Sgt. Tim Cooney, of the South Detective Division.
But there's nothing in the background of either man, he said, to suggest they were responsible for the couple's disappearance.
"Everybody's a subject of this investigation until the evidence proves otherwise," said Cooney. But he added, "No one's a suspect."
It would be hard to imagine a more puzzling mystery.
On the night of Feb. 19, a Saturday, Rich Petrone and Danielle Imbo met another couple for drinks at Abilene's bar and restaurant on South Street near 5th.
About 11:45 p.m. they hugged their friends and left, saying they were heading to Imbo's house in Mount Laurel, N.J.
And then they disappeared.
There's no indication they got to Danielle's house. But then, there's no indication of anything.
Police and family members say it's unlikely they just skipped town. Their cell phones have not been used, nor their credit cards. There's been no activity in their bank accounts.
Perhaps just as importantly, they're both devoted to their children from previous relationships, and never would have left them, family members say.
It would also be hard to imagine a more intensive police search. Police helicopters have scoured South Jersey, from the Delaware River to the shore. Cops on the ground seem to have covered every inch.
But there's been not the slightest sign of the couple or of Petrone's Dodge Dakota pickup.
Even a $75,000 reward - which Richard Petrone has just increased to $100,000 with his own money - has failed to shake loose any real information.
Said Cooney: "Every angle
we've looked at, every potential we've looked at, has come up negative so far."
For his part, Joe Imbo says he's tired of the suggestion that he might have had anything to do with the disappearance.
On the night Danielle and Rich disappeared, he said, he was in Toms River, N.J., with relatives. He slept there overnight and didn't return home until Sunday afternoon, he said.
Among the people he was with, he said, were his stepfather, a former New York City police officer, and his stepfather's son, a Dover Township, N.J., police detective. He said that after the couple's disappearance, police asked him to take a lie-detector test, and he readily agreed.
"I have nothing to hide," he said. Imbo says cops told him he passed the test.
Police, asked for comment, said they don't discuss the results of lie-detector tests. No one, said law-enforcement sources, has been cleared in the investigation.
Several days ago Imbo returned to the Mount Laurel Township police to discuss the results of the test with the state police, who had administered it.
At Imbo's request, Ottobre accompanied him to the station. Ottobre says he wasn't allowed to be present when police went over the results.
Said Ottobre: "Do I think Joe Imbo is responsible for the disappearance of my sister? No. But until the detectives tell me who's responsible, I would be doing my sister an injustice if I didn't keep an open mind."
Imbo will not directly say whether he believes the disappearance had something to do with Rich Petrone.
"I know I did nothing wrong," he said. "I know I had no involvement in this."
And if there wasn't an accident or a random act of violence - and he doesn't think there was - "What does that leave you with?" he asked.
The months leading up to the disappearance were an eventful time for Danielle Imbo.
In March 2004, her husband moved out of the house and they began taking steps toward divorce.
"Danielle and I were up and down at that time," Joe Imbo recalled. "We were having problems, we were arguing, we weren't communicating that much anymore."
A few months later, Danielle and Rich Petrone started dating. They had an on-again, off-again relationship. According to Petrone's sister, Christine Lavita, Joe Imbo repeatedly called Petrone and told him to stay away from his wife.
"He didn't want her, but he didn't want her to be with anyone else," Lavita said.
In the calls, Imbo repeatedly threatened Rich Petrone with physical violence, according to Lavita and Petrone's mother, Marge Petrone.
Just before Thanksgiving, Imbo called Rich Petrone at the family bakery, and threatened to go there with a baseball bat to kill him, said Lavita and Marge Petrone. Imbo denies ever threatening Petrone. He says Petrone was the one who threatened him. He says he had a tape-recording of the phone call to the bakery, which he gave to the police.
Imbo says he feels he has to defend himself against the suggestions being made by the Petrone family. He says he and his wife had made several attempts to reconcile and he did call Petrone "to tell him to get out of the picture."
"Why don't you back off until the divorce?" he said he told Petrone.
For months, Danielle Imbo wavered between Rich Petrone and Joe Imbo, said Lavita.
"Some days, she loved being with Richard; some days she wanted to go back to Joe," said Lavita. "She was conflicted like a normal person going through a divorce."
About two weeks before the disappearance, Petrone and Danielle broke up again. Lavita said Danielle told her, "I think I should be alone."
Imbo was still hoping to reconcile, he said. "In my heart of hearts I wanted to get back together, but it wasn't happening at that time."
However Danielle Imbo felt about Rich Petrone, she definitely wanted to see him the night they disappeared, said Lavita and her mother. The three women had dinner together that night, with other friends, and Imbo said she was looking forward to seeing Petrone, they said.
"Rich called her and said he missed her," said Lavita. "He said let's get together, and she agreed."
"She was crazy about him," Marge Petrone said. "I was with her that night."
Ottobre has a different take.
"Danielle told my mother and I that she wanted to concentrate on her son and her career, and she didn't want a relationship with either Joe or Richard."

THERE'S A REWARD!

The Ride the Ducks tour goes down South Street and to the river.... how does that vehicle go into the river? It goes in somewhere near race street... I guess near the Mob-friendly Rock Lobster (which is closed during the winter)?

I don't have the time to check out these links right now but I will later. Do you know off-hand if the Ride The Ducks tour operates at 11:30 P.M. in February? I don't recall ever seeing them out at night or in the winter but that doesn't mean that they aren't.audrey77 said:

Thanks for posting that Paula. I was going to do the same thing.PoorPaulaNNJ said:
Messiecake, I completely agree with you. From South Street in Philadelphia to Mount Laurel, New Jersey, there is no way IMO that they had a wreck and are undiscovered somewhere, (unless they drove somewhere else first - Atlantic City, etc.)
They either went off somewhere, and one of them harmed the other, or they were carjacked, or they took a trip in a different direction that's still unknown.
My prayers are with this family as these dear people have been missing four months now.

I have 2 scenarios ..............
#1) They were led away by someone they knew or a 'friendly stranger' from the bar to go elsewhere for drinks.This person then killed them
OR
#2) They ended up somehow in somewhere like the "badlands" in Kensington and got car jacked/robbed/murdered.

Unfortunately, this is what I'm leaning towards. If they were killed at random for their vehicle, I think that they would have been found long ago.mysteriew said:

Richard Petrone, Sr./father: "They literally stepped through the doors of Abilene's and vanished into thin air."
It has been four months of dread for two families. Thirty-five-year old Richard Petrone, Jr. and his girlfriend, 34-year-old Danielle Imbo disappeared February 19th. The couple was last seen leaving Abilene Bar on South Street around 11:45pm. Since then, there has been no sign of Richard's black 2001 Dodge pick-up truck. There has been no activity on any of their cell phones or credit cards. Police have searched land, air and water. Family members say Danielle would never stay away from her toddler son, nor would Richard abandon his 14-year-old daughter. Richard Petrone, Sr./father: "I know my son well enough to know, I can't imagine anything on Earth keeping him away."
Petrone's black DODGE Dakota truck has Pennsylvania tags YFH-2319. The truck has a Nascar number 99 decal on the back window. A $100,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the couple's whereabouts. You never have to give your name when you call the Citizens Crime Commission at (215) 546-TIPS. Despite the best efforts to stay positive, the "not knowing" where they are makes it difficult, especially on Father's Day weekend, especially for a daughter wondering where is her dad.
Richard Petrone, Sr./father: "She just woke up one day, her whole world changed, doesn't understand what really has happened."

Richard Petrone, Sr./father: "They literally stepped through the doors of Abilene's and vanished into thin air."
It has been four months of dread for two families. Thirty-five-year old Richard Petrone, Jr. and his girlfriend, 34-year-old Danielle Imbo disappeared February 19th. The couple was last seen leaving Abilene Bar on South Street around 11:45pm. Since then, there has been no sign of Richard's black 2001 Dodge pick-up truck. There has been no activity on any of their cell phones or credit cards. Police have searched land, air and water. Family members say Danielle would never stay away from her toddler son, nor would Richard abandon his 14-year-old daughter.

Any chance they left the restaurant to go make a drug buy? I hate to suggest it, but what if some deal went bad?
Or maybe Imbo the husband might have hired someone else to make them disappear. That truck could've been in parts pretty quickly if the husband hired a carjacker type of criminal -- you'd think there would be evidence of the hub paying someone though for that kind of crime...
