New Jersey woman goes missing, latest tragedy for mother who lost two sons: 'Unimaginable'
A distraught mother of three, who lost her only two sons in tragic circumstances, is making a desperate appeal to the public to help find her only daughter – who has been missing for over six weeks.
Sue Quackenbush, 63, says her 37-year-old daughter Danielle Lopez vanished on April 13 under suspicious circumstances after she was last seen at a Wawa location located at 4 Route 72 in Vincentown, New Jersey, at around 9:10 a.m.
Her mysterious disappearance is the latest tragedy to befall Quackenbush, who has already been trying to cope with the death of her elder son, Eric Quackenbush, who died from suicide on Christmas Day 2015, while her younger son Michael, a Marine, died in a Florida vehicular crash 10 months later. Michael had just returned from Afghanistan when he died.
“Danielle is the most sweet, loving, caring, kind, family-oriented person you could ever want to meet. Loves her family so much and her friends,” Quackenbush told Fox News Digital.

Quackenbush, who lives in West Chester, Pennsylvania, said that Danielle Lopez was taking care of her grandfather until 2020 when he died of COVID-19. Her father, Quackenbush’s ex-husband, passed away about a month later from a heart attack.
Lopez’s disappearance leaves Quackenbush on the brink of losing all three of her children, and she posted an emotional appeal for help on Facebook earlier this week speaking of the latest “unimaginable” heartbreak to strike her family.
Danielle’s 2008 blue Hyundai Accent was found “disabled” about 13 miles away on Lost Lane Road in Penn State Forest, Woodland Township, according to The New Jersey State Police, who posted an appeal for her whereabouts on Wednesday.

Quackenbush told Fox News Digital that Lopez’s car had been found on the same day of her disappearance, but she is at a loss as to what happened to her. The mother said the police haven’t told her much but didn’t give her much hope of finding her safely.
“The reason I used my daughter in the past tense in my statement is because police have reason to believe that harm has come of her,” she said, adding that police hadn’t provided her with any more details.
Quackenbush believes that someone was with Lopez when she was last spotted on CCTV footage leaving the Wawa, although she says her daughter didn’t act as if she was in immediate danger.
“She’s smiling walking out of that store. She looks put together, has her purse. She’s functioning.”
Quackenbush said she has been desperately searching for her daughter, posting “missing person” signs in the local neighborhoods. “I went out to where her car was found, I’ve been to the campground, I’ve been looking for about six weeks now.”

Despite the bleak news, Quackenbush is leaning on her faith to get her through her latest ordeal.
“God is working in this and I am blessed to have been their mother for all this time. Some mothers don’t hold on to their children they have that long, and there are some mothers that harm their children. So I’m going to say I was blessed,” she said. “I just need a miracle and everyone’s prayers and wishes.”
Anyone with information about Lopez is asked to contact the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit at (609) 882-2000 ext. 2554 or email missingpinformation@njsp.gov. Anonymous tips are welcome, police say.
Quackenbush added that a Facebook group called The Pine Barrens is also assisting in the search and people can reach them should they want to volunteer.

Bruins Believe They ‘Didn’t Do Enough’ In Loss To Flyers | NESN
The Boston Bruins suffered a 3-1 road loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.
Boston entered the game in points in eight-straight games, as the Bruins are competing for a playoff spot. However, Boston’s offense struggled on Saturday, as the Bruins scored just once on Dan Vladar, and head coach Marco Sturm felt like the team didn’t do enough to create more scoring chances.
“(Vladar) played really good, he kind of made those saves he needed to,” Sturm said as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage on Saturday. “We just didn’t do enough of a good job being around him or being front of him.”
Although Sturm didn’t like Boston’s play, Vladar still made some key stops when the game was close.
Bruins forward Morgan Geekie had multiple chances and was frustrated that he couldn’t score on any of them.
“Just one of those nights,” Geekie said. “Their goalie played well. Couldn’t quite put it in the spot I wanted to a couple times and Dan made a couple great plays.”
Boston’s lone goal came from Charlie McAvoy, while Jeremy Swayman made 14 saves on 16 shots, as Philadelphia added an empty-netter to secure the win.
With the loss, the Bruins fell to 33-21-5 and are holding onto the final Wild Card spot. Boston will return to the ice at home on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Vegas allowed two power-play goals on Pittsburgh’s four chances after giving up one on 12 opportunities the previous four games.
“I think we just had poor execution all game long,” Golden Knights forward Reilly Smith said. “Obviously, our penalty kill has been pretty good for us and that wasn’t good enough tonight.”
Rickard Rakell pushed it to 4-0 on another power play at 15:06, stopping a shot from Karlsson with his left skate and wrapping a shot around Hill.
Brazeau scored on a wrist shot from above the right circle at 14:59 of the third period for the 5-0 final.
“Second period, they took it to us,” McNabb said. “We were out of it, basically.”
NOTES: With goals from Kindel, Chinakhov and Brazeau, the Penguins have 73 goals by players in their first season with the team. It’s the most in the NHL this season and 13 more than the next closest (the Anaheim Ducks, 59). … The Golden Knights have been outscored 9-1 in the first and second periods of their first three games out of the break for the Olympics. … Karlsson has 908 points (204 goals, 704 assists), tied with Scott Stevens (908 points; 196 goals, 712 assists) for the 13th-most by a defenseman in League history. … Vegas forward Mitch Marner had a point streak end at six games (seven points; four goals, three assists).
