By the next morning, she was gone.
Investigators later learned Danielle believed she was pregnant with a 24-year-old man’s baby. She was scheduled to see a doctor the following week to confirm the pregnancy, but she never made it.
More than 23 years later, Danielle has never been found. Police believe she was murdered, but no one has ever been charged, and those closest to the case say the people who know what happened are still out there.
14-year-old Danielle Bell was last seen at around 2:00 a.m. on September 29, 2001, at Robert Bassett’s home at 588 Cedar Tree Lane in Cantonment, Florida. At the time, she believed she was pregnant with 24-year-old Alfredo Sanchez’s baby.
Alfredo’s brother, Alex, told investigators he dropped Danielle off at Bassett’s home and never saw her again. That was the last time anyone reported seeing Danielle.
If you have any information about Danielle’s disappearance, please contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at 850-436-9620.
