We were able to get our hands on a news article published in Miami Herald newspaper on June 24, 1986. This article talks about the kidnapping incident involving New Jersey Housewives‘ Danielle Staub.
Her mugshot can be seen here.
Below is the full article with the part about Danielle highlighted. Special thanks to our reader Marie for sending this to us.
“A man held for $25,000 ransom in June was arrested Thursday on federal narcotics charges involving one of his alleged abductors, the FBI said.
Carmen Christopher Centolella, 27, of Hobe Sound, surrendered without incident Jupiter based on a two-count indictment returned Aug. 28 by a federal grand jury in Miami.
One of Centolella’s alleged captors, Daniel Claudio Aguilar, 23, of 3132 NW 74th St., was also charged in the same indictment. Aguilar is being held in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Southwest Dade while he awaits trial on an extortion charge stemming from Centolella’s alleged abduction.
Aguilar and Centolella were charged with conspiracy to possess and possession with intent to distribute cocaine.
“The indictment alleges he was involved with Aguilar prior to the kidnapping,” said FBI spokesman Paul Miller.
Centolella was rescued by a SWAT team on June 23 after authorities said he was abducted two days earlier in an apparent dispute over a debt he owed Aguilar and two others holding him.
The two other people allegedly involved in the ransom attempt were Rogers Jones Jr., 22, of 2325 NW 59th St. and Beverly Ann Merrill, 23, 2629 S. Bayshore Dr.
All three were charged with extortion for making interstate ransom calls to Centolella’s father in Utica, N.Y. Thomas Centolella, retired manager of a Utica shoe store, reported the crime.
It was not clear at the time if the transaction was narcotics-related, but the FBI found explosives, 10 kilos of cocaine and scales in the kitchen at 8265 SW 45th St., where Centolella had been held. The house was rented by Aguilar.
Centolella was questioned and released following the June incident.”

I like her more than ever. This woman is gangsta.lmao. She should be more afraid of the others.lol. They still active in the life.IDK.lol. Someone owns a construction company too. Danielle chill girl. This happened so long ago. I dont care. I will say she needs therapy for her clinginess(lol)and her lack of self esteem. I think she is not the same person at all. This woman’s gangsta was taken from her. She is just trying to live her life. Right Beverly?lol. I love this entertainment stuff. Thanks Marie.
So not that I’m defending this crazy woman, but was she ever convicted of anything? Everyone keeps referring to her arrest, but does that mean anything, 25 years later, if she wasn’t convicted?
Anyone else find it odd that this story has been found? I mean, think about it: if you just searched for “Danielle Staub” you’d never find it.
Obviously this took some real sleuthing. Who has those kind of resources?
My hunch is the producers turned this up and tipped off the Manzos to boost the ratings. Well played.
This whole thing seems strange: they are all strange. First of all where do they get all of their money and cash? Come on! i wouldn’t be surprised if they were all mobster related. If they are, then shame on Bravo! I sick of supporting rich Housewives anyway. I am not supporting any more reality TV…those people already have money. Everyday folk, such as myself, deserve more money.
Danielle is what she is…doesn’t act like she’s perfect for the cameras and then completely different in private. Dina is the fake. She’s been seperated for over a year! Same story as the countess..the rich old guy found another squeeze, cheated and now wants to end things.
