I find it hard to follow things without a timeline, so I made this one based on the posts in this thread. If there is an error, let me know:
Between 2019 and early 2024, Danielle Lopez repeatedly told her mother, police, and others that Scott Dunn (boyfriend) had punched her, injured her, and scared her. Police responded to incidents in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. She required stitches for facial injuries. There were multiple 911 calls. Family members observed bruising.
February-March of 2024, while staying at his parents’ home in Willingboro, two separate incidents led to police responses and ended with both Danielle and Scott being told to leave.
April 7, 2024: Danielle and Scott, after being told to leave his parents’ home in Willingboro following a domestic incident that required a police response. They were essentially displaced into the woods and went to Campsite 77 in Brendan T. Byrne State Forest. Danielle called her mother from a phone belonging to someone named Joe Jenkins.
April 12, 2024: Danielle spoke with her mother that evening. She could hear Scott’s voice in the background. That same day, the neighboring camper posted a picture of Danielle in front of a campfire on Facebook with the caption “My girlfriend.”
April 13, 2024, Danielle was captured on surveillance footage at a Wawa in Vincentown. There was a second person (unidentified) who left the store at the same time.
Later that afternoon, around 4 pm, a couple driving with a dash-mounted GoPro camera recorded her on Lost Lane Road, but her car was not stuck at that time. Danielle flagged them down and asked for directions to Lake Oswego. Danielle then drove off in her blue 2013 Hyundai Accent.
At approximately 5:50 pm, a second GoPro recording in a vehicle (the same couple she encountered around 4 PM) shows Danielle walking alone along the same stretch of Lost Lane Road. Danielle told them her car was stuck in a puddle, and she had been walking for about 20 minutes. She asked them for assistance, but they offered none and drove away.
Around 6:20 pm, a tow driver sees her car stuck in a puddle. Her keys were still in the ignition, but Danielle was not with the vehicle. He posted a photo and details in the Facebook group “New Jersey stuck in the mud and snow and need a pull out.”
8:30 pm. Her car is pulled out of the mud by the same tow driver. He left the hazards on so the owner could find it, and posted the location on the same Facebook Group.
(the following is only in the PI's timeline) That same night, Scott showed up at the home of a woman who knew both him and Danielle. He arrived alone, wearing muddy boots, and asked for help with Danielle. This witness has requested anonymity due to concerns for her safety. Her account confirms Scott needed assistance involving Danielle on the very night she vanished, long before he ever acknowledged her missing publicly.
Noted on GoPro but not dated: a large black trash bag filled with belongings is clearly visible in front of the vehicle.
April 22 and 23: (the following is not in her mother Sue's timeline) Scott texted Danielles mother and claimed Danielle had “left the campground,” and said he did not know where she went, and redirected attention to a man he called Craig, described as a homeless camper who had been staying near them. He also referenced the State Park Police being present at the campground prior to her disappearance.
April 24, 2024: Danielle’s mother formally reported her missing to the New Jersey State Police. That same day, James “Scott” Dunn arrived at the New Jersey State Police barracks. While he was there, troopers discovered a motorcycle hidden in the woods near the barracks with an altered or fictitious vehicle identification number. He was arrested on that offense and remains incarcerated on unrelated criminal charges.
That same evening, Danielle's mother texted with Scott Dunn. Here are some key parts of that conversation according to Sue: Scott first told me, “She left the campground Wednesday I think. When I got there she and the car were gone.” When Sue asked what day he last saw or spoke with Danielle, he said “Tuesday” and then clarified “16,” meaning April 16. Sue indicated that this directly conflicts with the evidence that Danielle was last seen alive by the GoPro couple on Saturday, April 13, walking away from her stuck car. In the days that followed, Scott’s explanations changed several times in his messages.
May 1, 2024: Law enforcement and the Forest Fire Service drained a water hole near Lost Lane Road as part of a search related to a missing person whose car was found nearby. That missing person was Danielle. No large trash bag was found. It was never located or accounted for.
