Adventures with Purpose Underwater Dive and Recovery, who last week discovered the body of a Delaware County dad missing since 2003, is now looking for Danielle Imbo, 34, and Richard Petrone, 35.
The pair vanished after leaving a bar on Philadelphia's South Street and heading for Petrone's black 2001 Dodge Dakota pickup truck in the late-night hours of Feb. 19, 2005. The two met in high school and began dating when Imbo split from her estranged husband.
A new tip from one of AWP's 2 million YouTube subscribers may give Imbo and Petrone's loved ones closure, the volunteer search and rescue organization hopes.
After searching for the couple along the the north and south sides of the Delaware River, AWP returned to a spot where a witness claims to have noticed a broken gate at the Dwuk Boat Tour launch ramp two days after the couple went missing.
A video posted to the group's Facebook page on Saturday, March 5 captures the search.
They believed the location of the couple's disappearance can be narrowed down to between a Dave and Busters and a Walmart on Christopher Columbus Boulevard. But, after another extensive search, they had no luck identifying any vehicles under the water.
"I feel 99.867 percent that they are not within this area," Jared Leisek said. He added that they will return next year with a new search area that focuses more north of the river. "I'm not saying this is foul play. As far as we know they never crossed into Jersey."
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in the couple's disappearance.
