Danielle Bell is very outgoing, a cheerleader with lots of friends, and loves spending time with her older sister, Bonnie, taking pictures at the beach. Danielle's home life with her mother, Susan, is not strict and she often doesn't know where her daughter is or who she is hanging with most days. 

Susan's older daughter, Bonnie, says Susan is a known to be struggling in her daily life, which is why plans were made for Danielle to move in with her father, Matt Bell.

Danielle meets Alfredo Sanchez, and begins to change. Friends don't like Sanchez, he scares them, and they don't like the idea he is 24 and Danielle is just 14. Danielle begins to drift from her friends, spending more time with Sanchez and his much older friends.

Danielle tells her mother and a few friends she is pregnant with Sanchez baby and also shares to not repeat because Sanchez says he will kill her if she tells anyone.

On Friday night, September 28, Danielle is at Heritage Park in Cantonment near the Sanchez home, hanging out with Sanchez and some of his friends when they decide to go to a party at the home of Sanchez friend, Robert Bassett.

Danielle gets in a white Lincoln town car with Sanchez younger brother, Alex, and drives to 588 Cedar Tree Lane.

A missing person report is filed on the night of September 30th and investigators immediately begin searching. Danielle is seen getting into a White Lincoln Town Car around 11:30pm. Witnesses report seeing Danielle at the home of Robert Bassett and that sighting is allegely the last time Danielle was seen alive, ever.
