Danielle Bell is Still Missing, Escambia County Clerk Comptroller Slandered

When I started Graffiti Bridge State of Affairs at the beginning of 2026, I did not realize how much it I would learn about locals in the last year.

Rather than go back and detail some of the enlightening and disturbing messages I have recorded, I will focus on the present and report what the Pensacola Citizen has to say the week of October 4.

We begin with Danielle Bell, who has been missing for 25 years. The beautiful, blue mural shows just how much she is missed by those who commissioned the artwork.

Wherever Danielle is today, she lives on, no matter what, in the hearts of those who love and miss her since she went missing as a teenager, and this week, in the hearts of locals driving underneath the 17th Street bridge.

The next shot is disheartening, to say the least.

The banner at the top tells locals that Escambia County Clerk/Comptroller Pam Childers is a “#%&*,” in their opinion. The county is currently suing Childers, which suggests the message may have something to do with that story.

The next shot gives Dr. Seuss a shout-out with the Cat in the Hat to the far right, among a rabbit and a really cool-looking eye. Hello Kitty covers the other side of the bridge, showing local artists appreciate spraying colorful characters and really cool pupils.

Till next week when Pepper Wimer comes back with her take on the local bridge, drive safe, especially when driving under the bridge and looking at the art.
