PA PA - Richard Petrone, 35, & Danielle Imbo, 34, Philadelphia, 19 Feb 2005 - #1

[cecilia]

All I can figure is a drug deal that went bad on their way home, or a killer hired by her husband - the truck could easily have been dismantled that night.

 

[PoorPaulaNNJ]

As far as I know, neither of these two did drugs. That has NEVER come up.

 

[PoorPaulaNNJ]

Absolutely no way they left to make a drug buy. These two were responsible adults, and there has never been so much as a hint that they were drug users.

 

[Rachael]

Any recent news on Richard and Dannielle?

Folks,

The Richard Petrone case is starting to lose media attention. The only time the local media wants to talk is if they can get a meeting with Richie's Mom or dad.

Since we have had no leads from the reward of 100k, we started to focus on moving building awarness in the scranton NY area. Any ideas on how I can jump start this to get Richie's face and the reward back in the forefront of peoples brians. There are so so many missing, it is hard to make everyone a priority I guess. Not sure why the police and feds aren't making more of a deal out of the fact the the estranged husband has not passed a lie detector test.

Not sure what else I can do here. If it was a professional hit, I am afraid to put myself out there. But I have to if I am going to keep Richie's name alive.

I don't post much..................but Richard & Danielle have been on my mind soo much..............where can they be............the only thing I can think of is, unfortunately............they are gone.............either in the river or an abandon bldg...........garage............somewhere close to where they were.
It's really soo hard to understand how grown people can go missing........and,
without a trace..............this really puzzles me...........does anyone know if the river was checked............how do things like this happen...........it really boggles the mind....................my prayers for the families & for their safe return...................

dmvpenn, did Joe Imbo fail a lie detector test or has he simply not taken one?

Your mention of a "professional hit" sent chills down my spine. Is there any reason to believe that that may be the case?

I am so sorry, dmvpenn, that so much time has passed, and that there are still no answers. I had really believed that this was going to be resolved long ago. My heart goes out to you and your family. Please know that we are all still here, thinking about Richie and Danielle, and hoping & praying for some news soon.

Wenchie, you said no one could drive a car accidentally into the river in Philly.
Maybe, but who says they stayed in Philly. They might have gone to New Hope. Are you old enough to remember this? (Deaths of Jessica Savitch and Martin Fischbein)

****************************************************

On the evening of Sunday, October 23, 1983, Savitch had a date with Martin Fischbein, Vice President of the New York Post. They drove from her apartment in New York City to the small village of New Hope, Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia. They drove home with Fischbein behind the wheel and Jessica in the back seat with her dog, Chewy. Either ignoring or not seeing the "No Vehicles" signs in the pouring rain, Fischbein drove out of the wrong exit and up the towpath of the old Delaware Canal. He veered too far to the left and the car went over the edge into the shallow water. The station wagon fell about 15 feet and landed upside-down, sinking into deep mud which sealed the doors shut, trapping the occupants inside as the water poured in. The wreck was discovered by a local resident at about 11:30 that night. Rescuers found Fischbein's body still strapped behind the wheel, and Jessica's and Chewy's in the rear. The bodies were taken to Doylestown Hospital for autopsies. The Bucks County coroner later ruled that both had died from asphyxiation (by drowning). He noted that Fischbein was apparently knocked unconscious in the wreck but Jessica was not, and had struggled to escape

Blue Feather-
The river has been checked, so the police say..with sonar devises. I have personally headed serveral searches as well as over a dozen searches headed up my Rich's Friends. All resulted in not a shread of evidence. The authorties have stated that it appears that it was someone's intention to harm them.

It is a mystery to all of us. www.richardanddanielle.com for more history

Hi Jersey girl-
Joe Imbo has not passed the lie detector test. And I would argue that her family and him to submit to a lie detector test by the feds too, not just mayberry RFD in mt laurel.

I cannot believe that he is not getting more hammered by all to sumbit to another just to remove himself from a person of interest status. Currently, he is not considered a suspect. How, I can't understand. There is a bread crumb trail as long as the day of his abuse to danielle and to Richard.

Lastly, yes, it has been mentioned tht this was a professional hit.

Thanks for your thoughts. Any suggestions from anyone on how to jump start this ... please let me know. I want to continue to push the authorities to considerations... but do they listen.

Have the feds offered to administer a test to Joe?

I will think about what you're looking to do to get some media involvement in this. If I come up with anything, I'll let you know. In the meantime, I think that I'll post a link to this thread in a WS forum that's got a lot of dedicated sleuthers. Maybe some of them can read up on this and offer some advice. If nothing else, they will turn over every stone possible in an attempt to offer their help.

This has been my gut feeling all along! A professional hit, after reading articles that Joe seem not to be association much with Danielle.

 

[Rachael]

My only question with this is ...did Joe know that Danielle was meeting up with Richard that night? I didn't think it was planned very far in advance and she may not have even told Joe about it.

Danielle was last seen on Saturday, February 19, 2005 leaving Abilene (a live music and restaurant venue) at 429 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147.

She is traveling with Richard Petrone, Jr 34, a resident of South Philadelphia, (NIC #M614738671)(Missing from PA). Danielle was last seen wearing a jacket, cream colored sweater, blue jeans and carrying a black purse. Danielle has a tattoo on her lower back of "flowers."

Danielle is 34 years old, 5'5", 117lbs. She is the mother of Joe Imbo, III, a 23 month old boy who now residing with his father, Joe.

She was last seen traveling with Richard Petrone in his vehicle, a 2001 black Dodge pickup truck bearing PA registration #YFH2319. Any further information, please contact Mount Laurel Twp Police Department at #856-234-1414 or NJSP Missing Persons Unit at #800-709-7090. It is my sense that Danielle has been abducted and is still alive. She may be in the Southwest area of the country. Please be on the lookout for her, especially in or around any State Park areas. I truly believe that she will be found very soon. Please join me and her family by sending prayers out for her safe return. She's coming home soon!

..............personally, i have bad feelings concerning joe imbo............at the very least he's a definite POI to me........
...did he really keep changing his story re: the night in question?
...WAS he babysitting the entire night? and if not.................where did he go ? what's his alibi?
...what IS his background?...as far as a 'professional hit'......has he been in prison? does he have "those" connections ?
...2 ADULTS go missing..................it's beyond highly suspicious...

 

[Meech]

My only question with this is ...did Joe know that Danielle was meeting up with Richard that night? I didn't think it was planned very far in advance and she may not have even told Joe about it.

Article Here March 27, 2005

Joseph Imbo Jr. said he did not like his wife dating the other man but he and others said the two never met in person, but they did talk on the phone.

Marge Petrone said Joseph Imbo Jr. called her son many times and made threats. Imbo, 33, gives a different account.

By the middle of February, she decided what to do about the two men.

"Danielle called me the Wednesday before she disappeared," Joseph Imbo Jr. said. "She said, 'I want you to know that I'm no longer seeing Rich.' ... She said, 'I want to be by myself now.' "

And that evening, Danielle Imbo had dinner with her mother and Petrone's mother and sister at a sports bar in South Philadelphia. Afterward, she met up with Richard Petrone Jr. and two of his friends for a few drinks at Abilene, a restaurant and bar on South Street, a center of nightlife in the city.

It surprised DeAngelo that Imbo would have gone to see Petrone after a phone conversation they had on Feb. 18. "She told me she was staying home all weekend," her friend said.

 

[dmvpenn]

Firstly, as a family member, I want to say that we have heard more iterations from pshyics then I care to explain. Personally, I have a dear friend who is a very gifted medium. He said that that they are BOTH DEAD. This notion that she is alive as created a lot of insanity that I wish would stop.

Secondly, Joe threathen Danielle and Rich up until the day they dissappeard. The day danielle dissppeared, Little Joe calld big Joe Rich. Joe went Bizzerk. As far as the alibi, a cover us is a cover up. And yes, we believe Joe found out Danielle was meeting Rich. And we also believe she was being followed by him or by someone else.

As for his background, he has connections to some very shady people and alike. Period end of discussions.

What I need is learn how to excert pressure on the febs to keep pressure. any thoughts.

PS if Danielle was abducted what the hell happened to my cousin Richard.

This psyhic is behaving very irresponsibly and should not be promoting this kind of information on her site for her own publicity. If she was worth her salt, she would have a specific location and surely would be able to lead us to a clue on where the truck is and offer some thought about what happened to Rich.

So sad.

So said.

DMVPenn... I agree with what you are saying. I signed up for your board and I read it on a weekly basis. I really hope that your family gets some answers. My gut feeling is that someone did this to Richard and Danielle. I do not feel (as some people seem to) that Richard did anything to Danielle. I just wish they would look into her ex a little more. Prayers for you and your family and especially for Richard and Danielle's children!!!
I live in Delaware County, PA and honestly have not heard much about the case other than what we have discussed here on WS.

 

[dmvpenn]

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Keep coming to my site. Feel free to chime in!
