PA PA - Richard Petrone, 35, & Danielle Imbo, 34, Philadelphia, 19 Feb 2005 - #3

[Valiant]

It would seem that even if someone had the ability to track Richard and Danielle we still end up with the same question. How did the truck just disappear from the area? It does not look like they were hijacked outside the bar. So where along the journey were they taken?
The same problem of the truck not being seen with them driving home on any of the cameras is the same problem I see with the abduction. The truck would have still had to get where they were intercepted before they and the truck were disappeared.
I won't rule out foul play. But I also won't rule out an accident that occurred while they traveled an unexpected route.

Well, maybe I've seen too many hitman type movies, but I imagine if there was a 'hit' out on one of them (for drugs, infidelity, witness) and a tracking device was used to track them (could also just be informants at the right place, at the right time), then while the two were in the bar a killer could break into / open the truck and get into the back seat (if it had a crew cab) and when RP and DI returned to the truck, the perp pulled a gun on them, made them drive somewhere (like a friend's salvage yard), shot them, and then had the truck crushed within an hour.
