A New Jersey woman has been missing for nearly a year after taking a weekend camping trip. Danielle Lopez’s family should have celebrated her 38th birthday during that time. She was last seen walking near her blue two-door Hyundai Accent on a secluded dirt road deep in Penn State Forest around 6 p.m. on April 13, 2024. Danielle went camping at the Brendan T. Byrne State Forest Campground with her boyfriend to watch an eclipse. On Friday night, she spoke with her mother from the campground and seemed in good spirits. On Saturday morning, she was seen grabbing coffee at a Wawa in nearby Vincentown. That afternoon, Danielle was spotted driving down Lost Lane Road in Penn State Forest. Minutes later, she was seen walking. She asked a couple for help because her car was stuck in the mud, but they declined. After dark, a good Samaritan towed her car out, but she never returned to the vehicle and has not been seen since. Danielle is 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighs 135 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. She usually wears glasses and was last seen wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and light-colored shoes. A limited-time $5,000 reward is available. Anyone with information on Danielle Lopez is asked to call 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.

After two weeks in office, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the release of documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Justice Department issued a statement alongside "Phase 1," clarifying that the declassified files largely contained previously leaked documents that had never been formally released by the U.S. government. While many expected Epstein’s client list to reveal explosive details, most of the roughly 200-page release consisted of previously circulated information, including Epstein’s contact list and flight logs from his private jet. Amid public disappointment, Bondi sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, claiming a source at the New York FBI Field Office informed her that thousands of pages of Epstein-related documents remained in the agency’s possession. She demanded the remaining files be delivered to her office by 8:00 a.m. the next day and ordered Patel to investigate why her directives had not been followed. Bondi has since stated that her office received a "truckload of evidence," which she says includes the remaining Epstein documents the FBI had withheld. She claims Director Patel is investigating the reason for the delay while other agents work to redact the remaining files. Bondi promised, “If something’s redacted, you will know the line and you will know why it’s redacted.” Many anticipate new indictments based on the documents’ contents.

A circuit judge ordered Donna Adelson to remain in jail until her trial this summer. Judge Stephen Everett denied her bond request in a three-page ruling. Her attorneys argued that the 76-year-old felt unsafe in jail, citing alleged assaults, threats, and extortion. Adelson is charged with murdering her son-in-law, Florida State University law professor Dan Markel. Police found him shot in his garage on July 18, 2014. Her son, Charlie Adelson, along with his ex-girlfriend Katherine Magbanua and hitmen Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera, have been convicted in the case. Markel was married to Adelson’s daughter, Wendi Jill Adelson, who has not been accused of involvement or prior knowledge of the plot. Miami International Airport police arrested Adelson in November 2023 as she and her husband, Harvey, prepared to board one-way flights to Vietnam via Dubai—two countries without extradition treaties with the U.S. In the bond ruling, Everett found prosecutors had presented enough evidence to keep her in jail. He acknowledged that courts have discretion in detaining defendants but said her case did not warrant release. He cited her arrest as a key factor in the decision.
