Lost Lane

Author: NBC News June 10, 2025 Duration: 34:52
On April 13, 2024, 37-year-old Danielle Lopez vanished in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey while camping with her boyfriend. Her mother, Sue Quackenbush, knew something was wrong when Danielle stopped answering her texts and calls. Sue reported her daughter missing to the New Jersey State Police. Investigators scoured the forest in southern New Jersey and eventually located Danielle’s car on Lost Lane, but found no sign of her. The case remains open and active. Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz speaks with Danielle’s mother, a New Jersey private investigator who is working the case, and Monica Caison and Lisa Valentino from the Cue Center for Missing Persons. Danielle Lopez is 5’4”, and at the time of her disappearance weighed 135 lbs. She has brown hair, and green eyes. Danielle would be 38 years old today. CUE is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads investigators to Danielle. The reward is in effect until July 31, 2025. Anyone with information regarding her disappearance is asked to contact the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit at (609) 882-2000 or contact the CUE Center for Missing Persons 24-hour line at (910) 232-1687.

In Dateline: Missing In America, veteran correspondent Josh Mankiewicz delves into the unsettling and unresolved stories of people who have vanished. This NBC News production turns the microphone toward the families and friends living with an agonizing absence, giving voice to their memories and their relentless search for answers. The cases explored aren't cold files from a vault; they are active puzzles, often brought forward by the podcast's own audience through social media, representing a direct plea for public attention. Each installment is a deep, narrative examination of a single life and the circumstances surrounding their disappearance. You'll hear the nuanced details-the last known moments, the personal habits, the specific clues that investigators are still pursuing. The power of this podcast lies in its collaborative hope: that by sharing these stories widely, a listener might recognize a detail, recall a fragment, and finally provide the missing piece. It’s a sobering but crucial journey into the heart of American true crime, where every piece of information matters and someone, somewhere, might hold the key.
