WHERE IS DANIELLE IMBO AND RICHARD PETRONE?

hey guys welcome back to my channel and welcome to another episode of where is if you have not watched aware as before where is this a series they started on this channel to spread awareness about missing persons cases and today I guess this is somewhat of a where are because there's two people in this missing persons case it is actually one that I've followed for a really long time it's a case I feel super passionate about and it is very frustrating and with this series we are raising money for thorne which thorne is an organization that is digital defenders of children they're all about creating new and innovative ways to save children who are currently in sex trafficking or child pornography and shut down the people who are doing those awful things that Amy was found in returned to her family within three days using the software that we created a tool called spotlight and in an effort to protect its capacity over time I won't give much detail about what it does but it's a tool that can be used by law enforcement to prioritize their caseload it's a neural net it gets smarter over time it gets better and it gets more efficient as people use it so organization I felt really passionate about it normally I think almost all if not all of my cases so far I've either been like really young people or children today we are talking about adults but I still of course want to raise money for thorne look how much we've raised you guys honestly I'm shocked I'm so thankful for all of you who have bought shirts who have been so generous and of course we do have another design today it's a really fun design another design it seems like people love to submit alien doesn't kinds of special in this time the shirt was designed by a subscriber named Samantha so huge thank you to her now this is a limited-edition item so it's only going to be available for a short period of time but now all of these items are going to be sold through my merch store and 100% of the profit is still going to Thorne's you don't have to worry about that but if you decide you want to grab another one of my items while you're there and support this channel then you can do that at the same time it's much easier there'll be a link to my merch store below where you can pick up the thorne design for this where it's video also didn't want to say that I am looking for new designers and new designs so I have decided to finally create a way that you guys can submit designs so I now have a place you can submit it there's a link below I get so many emails about people wanting to design thorne shirts so don't be upset if I don't pick yours or I'm not able to obviously use all of them I appreciate everyone that submits a design but let's go ahead and get into our case today we are going to be talking about a couple that went missing except I don't even know if you can consider them a couple because they're dated on and off but they weren't currently together at the time and they have been missing since 2005 so let's start from the beginning the people that I'm gonna be talking about this video are named Danielle EMBO and Richard patron and they seem to have vanished into thin air together and I think a lot of people would think oh maybe they ran away together but when I tell you about this case you're gonna think that's very unlikely and and it's super rare for people to disappear in pairs like this especially people who aren't you know boyfriend and girlfriend or married it's very rare for that to happen because it's harder to make two people disappear in part about this case is I'm basically just going to be telling you about it because there are no solid leads or clues or directions like normally I have kind of my own theory of what happened but in this one I just have no idea there's too many possibilities and none of it makes sense talk about Richard first Richard came from a very strong Italian family richard was 35 years old when he went missing he was born on August 29th of 1969 he has brown hair blue eyes he is five foot nine and he was last seen wearing a great polo brand sweatshirt and blue jeans he has a tattoo of the world Angela on his left arm and a tattoo of a clown on his right arm and he worked at his father's Bake Shop arch patron helps carry on the family business and Viking pastries in Ardmore a role she'd hoped to pass on to her only son thirty-five year old Richard patron instead she's left wondering what happened to Richard and the woman he was last seen with 34 year old Danielle EMBO never would have dreamed you know that it would be two years and we still wouldn't have answers and he also had a daughter from a previous relationship who was 14 at the time of disappearance and then we have Danielle who was family friends with Richards family she was born on August 7th of 1970 and also born in Pennsylvania she has brown hair hazel eyes she's five foot five but she also had a child from a previous relationship who is only 18 months at the time her son she has a tattoo of flowers on her lower back she was last seen wearing a dark colored jacket cream-colored sweater and blue jeans she wears three small silver rings on either her left or right middle finger she was carrying a to handle black purse at the time of her disappearance and she worked in mortgages and loans that type of stuff and she actually had a really really good singing voice and she would often in front in just local bands across New Jersey interestingly enough she was extremely fascinated in murder mysteries as one of her passions was reading crime novels so the two of them were friends for a really really long time but danielle was actually married to another male and his name is Joe at the time of her disappearance they were in the process of getting a divorce but they weren't quite divorced yet and for a time in early 2005 like January and December that time she and Richard had been dating they actually considered themselves together and everything but she actually decided to put that relationship on hold not because she didn't like Richard or anything but because she wanted to focus on her son and the divorce she was going through and a lot of people wait till they're like completely divorced to continue in a relationship or something like that so it's not anything out of the ordinary like they had a big fight or anything and they were still friends so it was all good like Richard totally understood but they hadn't spoken I don't think because they were mad but just you know it's weird when you're like you were a thing and now you're not a thing but you don't know if you're gonna be a thing again so they were just like not even talking they went right through Valentine's Day without even talking to each other the February 19th of 2005 Richard was alone in a bar actually having dinner kind of by himself and he decided he really wanted to go out and see some live music that night he wanted to meet up with another friend of his and his girlfriend but he really wanted someone to join him so he called his sister actually and his sister at the time was hanging out with his mom and also Danielle it was like a group of women that were hanging out and since there are family friends they still did stuff together there was no like oh we're hanging out with your ex you know they're just family friends from the beginning his sister ended up not wanting to go out so she passed the message along to Danielle and Danielle decided she wanted to go so they linked up and they went in his black truck and the two of them drove to South Philly to a bar called Abilene's where they watched live music and had a great time from people that were there with them and like the other couple that was with them said they were like even kissing at one point like really having a good time definitely didn't see any altercations or any like anything weird it was completely normal and they didn't even leave that late they decided to leave around 11:45 and they said they were going to go back Daniella's condo in New Jersey and if you're not familiar with this whole area it's gonna be confusing like where the hell did this take place but it's these are such small states like New England is so different the truck that Richard was driving was a 2001 Dodge Dakota and when they left that bar that was the last place that anyone would see the two of them what happened after that is completely unknown no one has any idea these two literally just vanished and they're still gone to this day it's 2017 this was in 2005 and there still is no good answer or lead and the weird part about this for me what stood out so much about this case to me is that if someone was planning on hurting them cuz I know like most people me when I first heard this case I was like well it's probably the ex-husband who was jealous they're going through divorce he has this new guy maybe he murdered them and all I'll get to Joe and talk about him later it's not like he's ruled out at all but but there's definitely no proof that he did anything but weirdest thing about it is that if someone was like planning to hurt them or planning anything like because this was so well done to the point where they just disappeared and there's no trace left it must have been planned right it has to have been like done by a professional maybe and the weird part about it is that this was not a planned event they like Richard didn't even plan to go to this for sure this was so last-minute literally like you know a couple hours of planning before they actually did this so if anyone was watching them or anything like they wouldn't have known their plans and that's what makes this so weird to me is that if not like this was something that they were planning to do another really weird thing is like if someone had something against Richard why kill Danielle as well you know it just makes it more dirty it just you know complicates the situation and vice-versa if someone to kill Danielle why would they kill Richard well their families first realized that they were missing when the following day I think around 3 p.m. Joe who was Danielle's and showed up with their son at her house and she was at home so they never made the transfer and her family instantly freaked out because they were like Danielle never does this she loves her son so much why would she not show up to pick him up without even calling it's like completely unlike her so they were worried but like immediately I personally don't believe these two are alive and ran off together whatsoever why would they leave their children like both of them were close but their children loved their children and why would they just disappear off and it's not like they're just like some couple that were so in love and wanted to escape something they're just like buddies who have kind of you know dated on and off but at the end of the day it's not like they were so madly in love that they would want to like run away together and I think people's first like instinct is to think well Richard probably killed Danielle and like returned and then disappeared but you can't always just blame the man like he could be just as much of a victim and making accusations like that is not helpful and it's it's completely unlike him it doesn't match up to his family story at all police have pretty much ruled that whole scenario out so let's talk about John this is Danielle's ex-husband or I guess husband they never got to go through the divorce process I actually don't know if that would make you still married or not but whatever Danielle's husband Joe apparently the main reason for their divorce was that Joe decided to leave Danielle when she was sick she had a cold groan with a very sick infant her son their son to go to the Super Bowl in 2004 just left her when he came back he announced that he had met someone else and wanted a divorce what's strange about this is they started going to a divorce process but at one point Joe the relationship he had you know met at the Super Bowl or whatever ended up not working out and he had asked Danielle for another chance and so she was sort of like in this like weird limbo where she didn't know if they would be like be together or not that's why this whole thing was so like confusing bars like investigation goes nothing has been found and I mean nothing we have nothing we don't have anything tangible and it's you know it's the worst nightmare you could imagine not even the giant black truck I'm sorry but it is very hard to hide a gigantic black drop there's a lot of like rivers in this area and they have done like intensive searches of these rivers there's dive teams have searched waterways and police have dug up fields but they've uncovered no physical evidence of the pair it's possible that it is still in the river that they you know accidentally throw off the road into the river maybe they were like drinking too much you don't really like know what their blood alcohol level was because they're missing but it is possible that he was drinking and driving and drove off into the river but at the same time there's tons of like barriers on the side of the road and none of them even showed sign of damage or like someone going over it you know it's very hard to do that a chances are if someone goes into the river like their car is eventually gonna get found or it's gonna be sticking out like it just people don't think that that's really what happened although you can't necessarily rule out either but they have literally for years been doing searches and those rivers have been searched for other crimes as well and nothing has ever come up not even like a piece of the car absolutely nothing has ever been found these two when I say they disappeared they straight disappeared there's been zero activity on either of their bank accounts credit cards or phone records and they reviewed you know tolls toll ways along the highway and also like bridge cameras and stuff and they do not believe they even ever crossed back into New Jersey from Philadelphia and the main route that they should have taken although there's many ways to do this would have been through the streets of downtown Philly and then across Ben Franklin Bridge but they were never seen on CCTV so how do you make a car disappear there actually are tons of chop shops in Philadelphia if you don't know like places where the crushed cars are taking apart from hearts or anything like that and they have searched many of these places and can't find any since this wasn't a planned event at all it's possible that they were just the victim of like random strangers violence like a serial killer or you know some other weird bizarre thing no one would rob then they both didn't have a lot of money I mean Richard worked at a bakery so there's not tons of money in the bakery business and the other weird thing is that Philadelphia in the area that they were in had tons of police tons of stoplights tons of cameras CCTV so it'd be very hard and honestly it's just a stupid place to try to abduct someone especially two people Richard was a big dude so it's kind of hard to like abduct him so leaves police with like nothing and you know we go to Joe her ex-husband could he have done it Joe has a really strong alibi he was at some event like really far away from this area with police officers there who were able to account for him being there so we know that he was not anywhere near the two of them at night but does that mean that he innocent they were about to go through a really contentious divorce there could have been possible jealousy issues about Richard but the only thing we're gonna get married or anything like he knew Joan knew that they weren't like together so to make such a hasty move and just like kill them both what would be really odd that's possible that he paid someone that this was a murder-for-hire plot one thing that's really interesting about this case is that the FBI got involved now that does not always happen the FBI is offering a reward of up to fifteen thousand dollars for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in the disappearance of this couple Danielle EMBO and Richard Patrol case agent Vito Roselli says Richard told friends they would drive home in his black Dodge Dakota pickup truck all we know is that it was parked somewhere in the vicinity of where the bar was because he made a comment about he got lucky with this party by the pair who knew each other since high school started dating a few months after Danielle split from her estranged husband they both had become single parents Danielle was raising her son in her home in Mount Laurel New Jersey where she worked for a mortgage company Danielle's brother John Oh Debray we just missed her we really barely missed him terribly she was a great mother Richard had a daughter and lived above the family bakery in Ardmore Pennsylvania where he worked Richard's mother Marge says life hasn't been the same without her only son those two should still be here today seeing their children grow up the FBI and it's law enforcement partners need your help to solve this case all the investigators including myself have put their heart and soul into this case and we need to get some closure on this and hopefully if you have any information call your local FBI office and the FBI released a statement that they believe this is a murder-for-hire plot that they have reason to believe that but they never gave any more details than that Joe also took a lie-detector test and the results were inconclusive so they have not ruled him out as a suspect but he's definitely not considered a suspect either however there had been time in the past where Jo had threatened Richard over the phone and this is a quote directly from Jo he said if you haven't ruled me out then you're not good at your job you're just not good at your job I am NOT a mastermind I have a conscience I wouldn't be able to live with myself this long after such a heinous thing or look at my son in the eye so even though it's easy to blame the ex-husband in a situation it's definitely not responsible to instantly blame him but the FBI really does believe that this was a professional killing that if someone who is a hitman for a living because it was so clean I mean there's just no mistakes made like normally in most crimes there's a mistake and that's how you end up solving it but there's nothing no drop of evidence no drop of blood even absolutely nothing to go off of Oh a whole other side of this and this is hard because there's really not very much proof of this but Richard did have a clown tattoo and there's a lot of people that suggest maybe he had gang involvement or you know like insane clown posse or some type of mob involvement since he is Italian and I'm not sure about this I don't know about his past I mean it's possible he owed someone money and they you know killed him because of it finally got revenge but like why would he kill Danielle know what's really sad about this case and what just bothers me so much for most of the time during this case and I'm pretty sure to this day the families don't speak they don't work together on this and they fight because Danielle's family thinks that this was Richards fault that Richard had some type of issue in his past or mob involvement or something like that that led to both of them dying and Richards family feels like it's Danielle's fault it's her ex-husband it's her baggage that their son got dragged into and it makes me really sad to know that these families are fighting when they could be working together to to find their loved ones or supporting each other because no one can quite understand their pain as much as the other family does it's not only that but if you know if Richard and Danielle were able to see that it would probably make them really sad that their families were fighting you know there's no information about it now but I'm not sure if they put their differences aside I really hope that they have but unfortunately that's pretty much all the information that I have on this case the only really solid possible leads that there is there is talk of other other possibilities like a game or like a biker gang I know that they're specifically a biker being that people believe may have been involved but there's really no solid proof or anything so it's over right now this case is completely unsolved I'd love to know your guys opinions on this so definitely tweet me and tell me or leave a comment below because I think this is just such a bizarre case like there's something that just stuck with me from the moment I saw this case that it is bizarre that there's two people involved in it and still no answers like that's double the personal life that's double the you know connections that's just there's so much more information when there's two people and yet nothing has been found nothing has been solved and nothing's been put together there's not even a really good theory I think the FBI are still working on this case as far as I know but I feel so sorry for these two and their children who have had to grow up without a father and a mother it's just heartbreaking so my thoughts truly go out to this family and you know let's all hope that one day this could be solved but that's it for me today guys if you would like to buy a shirt for thorne that would be awesome remember that 100% of the money from those shirts goes to thorne I don't take a single dime of it it all gets donated and I'm hoping we can do you know raise double well we have so far I mean who knows I hope you're having a des and I will talk to you next time [Music] d [Music] [Applause] to
