Missing woman’s car found along with body

Tuesday, June 6, 2000 | 11:36 a.m.

The car of a woman reported missing last week was found in a North Las Vegas parking lot Monday night with a body in the back seat.

Employees of a Vons grocery store at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Craig Road called North Las Vegas Police after noticing a strong odor coming from a black Pontiac Firebird about 7 p.m.

Metro Police were called to the scene when a body was seen in the back seat of the car belonging to Danielle Piccolo, who was reported missing May 31 and last seen alive the afternoon of May 30, police said.

Clark County Coroner officials said this morning the body in the car has not been positively identified and an autopsy is scheduled to be performed today.

Piccolo was last seen leaving her job at an Arby's restaurant on North Rancho Drive. The body in the car was clothed in an Arby's restaurant employee uniform, said Lt. Wayne Petersen of Metro's homicide unit.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call Metro's homicide unit at 229-3521 or Secret Witness at 385-5555.
