Part 1: A Missing Hiker in My Campground Video (Danielle Lopez, Pine Barrens)

In April 2024, 37‑year‑old Danielle Lopez went camping at Brendan Byrne State Forest in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and never came home. Almost two years later, I realized she appears for a few seconds in a campground bike tour video I filmed just days before she disappeared. I’ve spoken with Danielle’s mother, Sue Quakenbush, and I’m sharing this video with her blessing. I’ve also provided the original 4K footage from that day to the New Jersey State Police. This video is not an investigation, and I’m not here to speculate or point fingers. My only goal is to keep Danielle’s case in the public eye and encourage anyone who was in this area in April 2024 to take another look at their own photos and videos. In Part 1, we talk about: How the original campground bike tour was filmed How I later discovered Danielle and another person in the footage The steps I took to confirm it with her family and share it with law enforcement If you camped, hiked, biked, or drove the forest roads around Brendan Byrne State Forest or the surrounding Pine Barrens between April 7, 2024 and April 13, 2024, please check your phone, camera, and dash cam archives. A small detail in the background of your clip—a car, a campsite, a person near a trail or road—could matter more than you realize. If you find anything that could be relevant to Danielle’s disappearance, please contact: New Jersey State Police 609-882-2000 ext 2554 Part 2 will take a more in‑depth look at the key locations connected to Danielle’s known movements, including the campground, the Wawa stop, and the remote road where her car was found. Please keep Danielle and her family in your thoughts, keep her face in your mind, and consider sharing this video to help spread the word.
