Danielle Alana Amos was 19 when she was killed in San Antonio, Texas, on June 12, 2006. Born June 10, 1987, in Missouri, she had been visiting her mother and was on that visit for about 30 days before her death. Firefighters found her charred body on a roadside at Vance Jackson and Whitson after responding to a brush fire; she had been strangled and shot and then set on fire.

Danielle grew up in California, attending Sierra Vista Elementary, Vaca Pena Middle School, and Vacaville High School, and played softball for the Vacaville Bobby Sox and California Tornadoes. Family members describe her as a loving daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, and aunt. At 14 she ran away repeatedly and at one point escaped from a substance abuse treatment center in Oakland, but returned home and reportedly worked to turn her life around.

No arrests or suspects have been named and police say the motive remains unknown. Did anyone in San Antonio at the time see or hear anything near Vance Jackson and Whitson around June 12, 2006?
