More than two decades later, her sister, Bonnie—continues the relentless fight for answers.Danielle was full of life, but behind her smile was a troubling connection to a 24-year-old male named Alfredo Sanchez.

Bonnie's dedication, mainly through social media, has reignited interest in Danielle’s case, proving that love and persistence can keep a story alive.
