The search is on for Mob Wives alum Natalie DiDonato after a loved one reported her missing to the police. According to the latest reports, her family last spoke to her a week ago, and the circumstances of that conversation have them concerned about her safety. This is an evolving story, but here’s what we know right now.
What to know about Natalie DiDonato’s disappearance
The details of the missing-person report were first revealed by TMZ. The outlet said that Natalie’s loved ones have contacted authorities after missing two separate flights home to Florida.
Natalie’s mother, Denise Fuoco, said that Natalie had been visiting Philadelphia but was a no-show for her scheduled flight home. She explained that they spoke via FaceTime seven days ago, but Natalie’s behavior seemed unusual. She recalled how her daughter “rushed off the phone,” after looking nervous and distressed.
Denise tried to call her back, but couldn’t get ahold of her. She said Natalie had two phones, and she couldn’t reach her on either device. This went on for days, prompting her to contact the police in Philadelphia.
Then, the case took another turn on Monday, January 20. Denise got in touch with a friend of Natalie’s named Ben. He said that he heard from the Mob Wives alum four days prior via WhatsApp. During that conversation, Natalie said she was in Las Vegas and needed money for a flight to Florida.
Allegedly, Ben purchased a ticket for Natalie, but she never made it to the flight. That means he may have been the last person to speak to her, which prompted him to file a missing-person report in Las Vegas.
Fans of Mob Wives will remember Natalie from her recurring role on Season 5 of the franchise. The ladies called her “the other Natalie” as she went head-to-head with Natalie Guercio.
In Natalie’s last social media post from December 12, she was celebrating her birthday and seemed in good spirits. She wrote that she was “feelin'” herself and excited about her 40s. However, Natalie’s mom told TMZ that she seemed “distant” for the past month.
