Summary

The search for missing 16-year old Josephine Jimenez lasted 10 days. When her body was discovered in an orchard - suspicion quickly fell on a local boy she hung out with the day she vanished. But a call from NCIS investigating a sextortion scheme by one of their own marines flipped the case on its head.  Dig in with Margot, as she tells you this tragic story that involved various anonymous text messages that will be reminiscent of Netflix’s #1 show “Unknown Number - The High School Catfish.”   —— Want more episodes?

Welcome back True Crime Army. I am so sorry that I didn't post a new episode last week. I took a week off after CrimeCon Denver because, hello, I had no voice, especially after such a huge conference.

0:11.8

Shout out to all my new listeners who are here after discovering the show at CrimeCon and a special note to those listeners who, no kidding, found me years ago at CrimeCon, whether it was

0:21.4

Vegas or Orlando, and they made it a note to stop by my table just to say hi. I do want to take

0:28.9

a minute also to say thank you to a woman that I met there. Her name is Josephine Wensel,

0:35.2

and I met her in person after having spoken to her a few years back on Facebook.

0:41.8

You might recall that Josephine Wensel is Crystal Mitchell's mother.

0:46.7

I covered Crystal's case a few years ago when her alleged murderer, Raymond McLeod, was still a fugitive.

He was ultimately captured in 2022, and his trial is set to take place this year, 2025,

Josephine was such a kind person, and meeting her just filled my heart with pure joy.

1:21.8

It's a case that I covered out of Iceland, and that is on my Patreon.

1:26.2

And he also performed the autopsy on Pat Tillman. And I did a two-part

1:30.2

episode on Pat Tillman. To say that I met some pretty amazing people in Denver is a complete

1:36.5

understatement because everybody was amazing. All that to say, thank you to everyone who listens and

1:42.8

watches this show on a weekly basis.

1:45.3

Sometimes I wonder, no kidding, wonder if I should keep going on and meeting you is always a

1:51.2

confirmation that these cases need to be told.

1:55.5

All right.

1:56.1

Let's get into today's case.

1:58.2

Today's case is about a 16-year-old by the name of Josephine Jimenez, and this
