An investigation continues into the vanishing of a New Jersey couple last seen leaving a Philadelphia bar in 2005, authorities said.
Twelve years ago, 35-year-old Richard Petrone, Jr. and 34-year-old Danielle Imbo (née Ottobre) went missing in the late evening hours on Feb. 19 shortly after exiting a restaurant on South Street.
Today, a $50,000 reward is available for information about their whereabouts or those responsible for their disappearance, the FBI, the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office, and the Philadelphia Police Department announced.
