It’s unlikely Danielle and Rich disappeared willingly. Each of them was a dedicated parent to a child from a past relationship, and investigators say that a decision to abandon their children would go against everything in their DNA. This week, as we mark the 20-year anniversary of the couple’s disappearance, the FBI is urging anyone with information to come forward so we can close this missing persons case and—just as importantly—bring closure to the victims’ families. Who was Danielle Imbo? At the time of her disappearance, Danielle Imbo was a 34-year-old mortgage processor who called Mount Laurel, New Jersey, home.

Photo by Daniella Heminghaus for the New Jersey Monitor) By: Sophie Nieto-Munoz New Jersey Monitor New Jersey is one of the only states that legalized marijuana but doesn’t allow people to grow their own cannabis at home, and most of the candidates hoping to become our next governor want to change that.

On the Republican side, two candidates said they’d support home grow for medical marijuana users only, while two others support it for recreational users, too. Former radio talk show host Bill Spadea, a Republican, said any adult should be able to grow cannabis at home,... Read more →

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is informing the public about recent nationwide incidents targeting Tesla electric vehicles (EVs), dealerships, storage lots, and charging stations. Since January 2025, at least nine states have reported incidents involving Tesla EVs. These incidents have included arson, gunfire, and vandalism, featuring graffiti expressing grievances against individuals perceived by the perpetrators to be racists, fascists, or political opponents. These criminal acts appear to have been committed by lone offenders, and all known incidents occurred at night.
