20 years: FBI continuing search for missing couple that disappeared from Philly bar

Danielle (Ottobre) Imbo and Richard Petrone, Jr were last seen in the late evening hours of Saturday, February 19, 2005, leaving a bar on South Street and heading to their black 2001 Dodge Dakota pickup truck with the license plate YFH 2319.

Danielle was last seen wearing a dark-colored jacket, cream-colored sweater, and blue jeans. Richard was last seen wearing a gray Polo brand sweatshirt and blue jeans. He has a tattoo of the word “Angela” on his left arm and a tattoo of clowns on his right arm.

Throughout the past 20 years, the FBI says, “an extensive investigation generated some promising leads; however, neither they nor the vehicle have ever been located.”

“Today marks a somber 20 years since this tragic disappearance and their case exemplifies that the passage of time does not diminish our pursuit of justice,” said Wayne A. Jacobs, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Philadelphia. “Our office remains unwavering in seeking justice for Danielle and Richard, their loved ones, and our city.”

The FBI is continuing to offer a reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in the disappearance of Richard Petrone and Danielle Imbo.

If you have any information concerning the person(s) responsible or know where Danielle and Richard, please contact your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
