1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Just before midnight on Saturday, February nineteenth, two thousand and five,

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: Danielle Mbo and her friend Richard Patron left.

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: A crowded Philadelphia bar.

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: The two thirty somethings planned to walk to Richard's truck

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: and drive home, but they never made it.

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 3: It does not make sense. It's like they literally vanished.

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: The two were never seen again.

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 4: Not just them, but a truck disappeared into the ether

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 4: from one of the most frequented spots in the whole city.

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 4: It was stunning.

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: Nobody hears anything, nobody sees anything. Did they run away?

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: Was it an accident or were they murdered?

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 5: No one had a motive to kill them. No one

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 5: dropped from the sky and said, let me take these

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 5: people on this truck and let them disappear.

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Those same questions frustrated law enforcement.

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 6: A trucking two people just don't disappear.

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: The FBI called it murder for hire.

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: Who killed these two individuals and how did they get

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 3: rid of them where there's no physical evidence.

21
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 6: Both of them weren't the target. One of them was

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 6: the target, the other one was wrong place, wrong time.

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: But which victim was the intended target?

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 5: And why it was definitely murder for hire for Danielle,

25
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 5: not for Richard.

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: You're right, it could be, but it also could be

27
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: something your son did too.

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 5: No one was looking to kill Richard, no one.

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: He's your son, and in your eyes he's innocent, But

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: in my eyes, he's just some guy my sister was with.

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: Fingers were pointed, allegations were made, and lines were drawn

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: that drove the wedge.

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: Between the families.

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 6: At this point, the emotions are very high. You have

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 6: two families, their daughter and son are missing, and people

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 6: are trying to find answers, and there was quite a

37
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 6: bit of animosity between the two families.

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: What happened to Danielle and Richard.

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 5: I think that whatever happened to my dad and Danielle

40
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 5: was planned and orchestrated and thought out.

41
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: I'm Andrerea Gunning.

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: In this series, I dig into my own investigation.

43
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 5: Am I frustrated that after all it's time I can't

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 5: get an answer.

45
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I am to find answers for the families and

46
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: get justice for Richard and Danielle.

47
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: I just want some peace from my sister or soul,

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 3: and I want some peace for my mother.
