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

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.

I am more leaning towards murder for hire after listening to podcast there and gone on south street it is apparent the FBI have a lot of info we don’t know about and they believe couple were killed that night. They said they need more info to tie things in

Yes it sounds like law enforcement have quite a lot of information enough to say they were killed that Saturday night. Even Danielle’s brother said. He knew they were killed that night from Law enforcement. I was watching another video on uTube I had seen a few years ago where they did interview family members and it really made me freeze when Richard’s sister Christine said word to effect that she knew straight away when they went missing she would never see them again and she felt she knew exactly why but told the interviewer she wasn’t going to share the information. In the last episode of South Street podcast the podcaster said there was quite a few things she couldn’t share first legal and other reasons such as interviews with friends, co workers and she said one person pulled out of an interview with her as she had done other interviews and she was scared, she was out with Danielle before she met Richard that night. I did wonder if it might be Christine because I understand Christine and one or both mothers was out that night with Danielle before she went o meet Richard

I think as someone else mentioned that the truck was transported to a scrap yard. I also believe they were hijacked when car was parked
