Months went by and a 14-year-old's disappearance got little media attention.  23 years later, one woman is ensuring this story isn't forgotten.

High School freshman Danielle Bell went to a party on the evening of September 28th, 2001 in Cantonment, Florida.  It was the last time the 14-year-old was ever seen.

Her loved ones describe her as “a stranger to nobody”.  When she didn’t return home that fall evening, her heartbroken family clung to hope. They waited for the day Danielle would walk back through the front door. 

Still searching more than 23 years later, Danielle’s sister Bonnie sits down with me to share her story.

We’re calling on YOU for help.

If you have any information, please contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit:
(850) 436-9580

Or contact Crime Stoppers:
(850) 433-STOP
