There and Gone: South Street digs into the case of Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone. Danielle and Richard left a bar in Philadelphia and were never seen again. Nearly two decades later, they have yet to be found. Unlike most cases, there is not a single piece of physical evidence. But the FBI knows there was foul play. In There and Gone: South Street, the podcast team begins their own investigation of Danielle and Richard’s disappearance with unprecedented access and cooperation from the FBI. Listeners will hear from the family of the missing, close friends who were the last to see Danielle and Richard, as well as others haunted by this case nearly two decades later. This podcast seeks to find answers to this decades-long cold case with the hope of bringing justice to Danielle and Richard’s families

Lava for Good’s critically acclaimed Wrongful Conviction podcast, co-hosted by celebrated criminal justice reform advocate and founding board member of the Innocence Project Jason Flom, and Pulitzer prize-winning podcast host and producer Maggie Freleng, returns with gripping new episodes that delve into harrowing stories highlighting pervasive issues in the criminal justice system. Flom and Freleng speak with individuals who were wrongfully convicted of crimes they did not commit. Some have been fully exonerated and reunited with family and friends while others continue to languish in prison. Their cases underscore shocking systemic failures and outright biases within the legal system. Episodes will alternate between the two hosts every Monday and Thursday beginning January 8, 2024.
