February 9, 2014, saw the disappearance of 23-year-old Danielle Bertolini, after she accepted a ride near Swains Flat, close to Fortuna, California. Her skull was discovered on March 8, 2015, along the Eel River and later confirmed via dental records, classifying her case as suspicious.
Danielle’s disappearance offered the first break in the case of the Humboldt Five, as her remains were found in the same area where Sheila Franks’ femur would later be discovered. A local named James Jones, who was with Sheila shortly before her disappearance, also gave Danielle a ride on that fateful day of February 9, marking him a person of interest in both cases.
As of 2025, Danielle Bertolini's case remains open at the Humboldt County Sheriff's office. No suspects have been arrested, and her childhood friend Kristen Seavey is determined to change that.
