Danielle attended Tate High School where she was a member of the
Aggies cheerleading squad. The popular teen enjoyed dancing and drawing.
She was seen at a party on Cedar Tree Lane in Cantonment. Witnesses
told authorities that she left the party that night shortly after a man
that was in his mid-twenties at the time. Escambia County deputies
later questioned that man and searched his home, but he was never
charged in connection with the case.
During the summer of 2007, Alfredo Gomez Sanchez, Jr. was charged
with providing law enforcement with false information about his
whereabouts at the time Bell disappeared. He was not implicated in her
disappearance.
Anyone with information about Bell is asked to call FDLE’s Missing
and Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse at 1-888-FL MISSING or
the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at 436-9630.
Each year, approximately 50,000 incidents of missing children are
reported to Florida law enforcement agencies. While many children are
located within hours or days, some children are recovered months or
even years after being reported missing.
“We count on the public to be vigilant at all times,” said Special
Agent Supervisor Lee Condon of FDLE’s Missing Endangered Persons
Information Clearinghouse. “If something doesn’t seem right in a
child’s situation, it’s probably not. We count on tips from citizens to
provide those small pieces of information which may not seem
significant at the time, but could ultimately make the difference in
saving a child’s life whether the child is 5 or 17. A missing child is
always a child in danger no matter what their age.”
The FDLE encourages the public to sign up to receive free Missing
Child Alerts and Amber Alerts via personal computer, cell phone or text
message by visiting www.missingchildrenalert.com.
