A YouTube creator who films outdoor adventures accidentally captured footage that may help solve the disappearance of Danielle Lopez, a 37-year-old woman who vanished during a camping trip in New Jersey's Brendan T. Byrne State Forest in April 2024. While reviewing his videos nearly two years later, the creator noticed what appeared to be Lopez's campsite and possibly the missing woman herself.

Lopez was last seen on April 13, 2024, when she left a Wawa convenience store and was spotted walking near Penn State Forest, about 12 miles from her campground. Her boyfriend, who was camping with her, told investigators he last saw her that morning. The case has remained active with New Jersey State Police, who continue to investigate.

The footage shows two occupied campsites, with a figure in pink pants at Lopez's site. Her mother, Sue Quackenbush, recognized her daughter's car and her boyfriend's motorcycle in the video but couldn't confirm if the figure was Lopez. The discovery has prompted the family to offer a $25,000 reward for information leading to her location.
