Police Push For More Leads In Case Of Couple's Mysterious Disappearance
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A couple vanished 11 years ago, and police are pushing for more leads.
Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone were seen on Feburary 19th, 2005 at a bar on 4th and South Streets, driving in Petrone's black 2001 Dodge Dakota pickup truck.
FBI Special Agent in Charge, William Sweeney is part of the investigating team trying to find the pair and are in need of the public's help.
"Something that may not be important to somebody, may be important to us. And maybe something somebody remembers from back then, now could help us build that picture of what occurred that night," Williams said.
Police believe there is foul-play involved, and the two didn't leave on their own.
On the 10th anniversary of the pair's death, police made a national effort, erecting billboards up and down the east coast, hoping to bring in new leads.
"We did receive some promising leads, which we continue to follow up on-- so the investigation is active and we hope that the push this year generates additional leads," he said.
Agent Sweeney says it doesn't matter how much time passes, they will never give up looking for Imbo and Petrone.
"There's a sense of closure that both the families need and for justice of the victims. We don't quit and the case remains very active and we will keep pushing."
There is a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
Anyone with information that may assist investigators is urged to call the Philadelphia Citizens Crime Commission tip line at 215-546-TIPS (215-546-8477). Calls may remain anonymous.
