It was a spur-of-the-moment date in Philadelphia. They hadn’t seen each other in weeks and even them meeting up on the evening of Saturday, February 19th, 2005 was coincidental. But the two of them (and the vehicle they were in) vanished that night without any clues pointing investigators toward one theory or another. So why do officals now believe that the disappearance of that pair-- Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone, Jr-- was the result of a murder-for-hire plot? And might YOU or someone you know be the one who can finally connect the final dot so the two families can put their loved one to rest.

The day was going to be a dream come true. It was Jjune 4th, 2010, and 7-year-old Kyron Horman was thrilled that the day of the science fair had finally arrived.

The day filled with promise turned to one that was every parent’s nightmare when Kyron didn’t get off the bus that afternoon. When his parents found out that he had been marked absent from school all day, they knew something was horribly wrong.

Seventeen-year-old Muriel Baldridge had the whole world ahead of her. She and friends had made the most of the June evening, going to a softball game, a movie, and then to the local carnival. They walked together up to the West Prestonsburg Bridge in Prestonsburg, Kentucky. Immediately on the other side of the bridge was Muriel’s home. She said she would be fine walking the rest of the distance on her own, saying goodbye to her friends, who walked back toward town and the carnival. But, in that short distance, someone took Muriel’s life-- and there was no shortage of potential perpetrators.
