Mom whose 2 sons died is now looking for her missing daughter

A Pennsylvania mother is speaking out about her family's latest challenge: After the deaths of her two sons in recent years, her daughter is now missing.

In a statement on social media, New Jersey State Police said Danielle Lopez, 37, was last seen on April 13 at a Wawa store in Vincentown, New Jersey.

Police added that Lopez's blue two-door 2008 Hyundai Accent was found “disabled” in Woodland Township.

“She is known to frequent the Brendan T. Byrne State Forest, Pemberton Township and Willingboro Township,” state police said.

Lopez is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall and 135 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.

Sue Quackenbush, Lopez's mother, appealed for information about her daughter's whereabouts in a Facebook post on May 22.

“I ask for prayers from the community as we once again navigate through an incredibly painful situation,” Quackenbush wrote. “The police are still looking for Danielle to bring her home for me. Please pray for the first responders in their search and if you can help them, do so under their direction.

“Danielle was sweet, creative and loving,” Quackenbush added. “She was a wonderful girl and a vibrant light in my life. I ask that you respect my need to grieve this difficult loss. »

Lopez is believed to be Quackenbush's last surviving child.

According to Fox News, who spoke with Quackenbush, his older son, Eric, committed suicide in 2015 and his younger son, Michael, a Marine who returned from Afghanistan, was killed in an accident the following year in Florida. .

Quackenbush, who did not immediately respond to a message from PEOPLE, told Fox News that his daughter's vehicle was found the day she disappeared, but Quackenbush had no idea what happened to Lopez.

She also said she thought Lopez was with someone when she was seen in footage leaving the Wawa.

“I went to where his car was found, I went to the campground, I've been looking for about six weeks now,” Quackenbush said.

In her Facebook post, she urged others to come forward if they have any information about her daughter.

“Please pray for the first responders in their search and if you can help them, do so under their direction,” she wrote.

“If you have any information, please contact the New Jersey State Police – Missing Persons Unit at (609) 882-2000 or [email protected].”

“I appreciate everyone working tirelessly to find my daughter,” she wrote.
