Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone Jr.: Missing Since February 5th, 2005

Philadelphia, February 19, 2005. Snow fell gently on the historic streets, softening the city’s chaos under a delicate white blanket. South Street resisted the hush of winter, alive with music spilling from dimly lit bars, bursts of laughter, and the hum of late-night traffic. Inside Abilene’s, Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone Jr. appeared to be just another couple enjoying a night out. They were seen laughing, leaning close to one another, their rekindled connection in progress. As the clock approached midnight, they stepped outside into the biting cold, leaving behind friends and any trace of themselves. Their footsteps vanished along with them, lost in the fresh snow that covered Philadelphia by morning.

Jason Jolkowski: Missing Since June 13th, 2001

Before you jump to any conclusions, let’s look at Jason as a person. By all accounts, he was a reserved, soft-spoken individual who struggled a bit with a mild learning disability that primarily affected his speech and language. But let me tell you, that never held him back. He graduated from high school, enrolled in college, held down steady work, and even nurtured ambitions of entering a radio broadcasting program. This was not someone living on the fringes; Jason had a stable home life, no known enemies, and a brand-new career prospect on the horizon. He was about to start a job at SITEL (through a relative) and had even considered seminary school. This young man was going places—until that fateful day in June.
