Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP102031) and 8 other sources
Danielle Rosalie Rico, a 39-year-old woman from Valle Vista, California, was last seen on August 21, 2022. On the day of her disappearance, she reportedly visited her mother's house asking for gas while accompanied by a man unknown to her family. Danielle mentioned she would return soon but never did. Her disappearance is being treated as suspicious, and her family fears foul play might be involved. There were reports that, weeks after she went missing, her car was sold and some of her possessions were given away, raising further concern.

Danielle has a history of drug use and was in need of medication at the time of her disappearance. She is described as 5'2", weighing around 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Danielle has distinct tattoos, including a fairy sitting on a mushroom on her back, and her children's footprints on her shoulders. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate her case, and they are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Despite efforts, her whereabouts remain unknown, and the family continues to seek answers and support.
