**New Jersey State Forest, NJ –** A year has passed since Danielle Lopez, 38, disappeared after a camping trip to Penn State Forest, leaving her family and authorities searching for answers. Lopez was last seen on April 13, 2024, around 6 p.m. walking near her blue Hyundai Accent on Lost Lane Road, a secluded dirt road within the forest.

Lopez had gone camping with her boyfriend to view a solar eclipse at Brendan T. Byrne State Forest Campground. She spoke with her mother on Friday evening and appeared to be in good spirits. On Saturday, she was seen at a Wawa in Vincentown before heading into Penn State Forest. Witnesses reported seeing her car stuck in the mud on Lost Lane Road, and she reportedly asked a couple for help, but they were unable to assist. Later, a good Samaritan pulled her car from the mud, but Lopez never returned.

Lopez is described as 5 feet, 4 inches tall, weighing 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She typically wears glasses and was last seen wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and light-colored shoes.

A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to her whereabouts. Anyone with information is urged to contact the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit at (609) 882-2000 ext. 2554 or the Community United Effort Center’s 24-hour hotline at (910) 232-1687.
