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.
