What is going on True Crime fans? I'm your host Teez. And I'm your host Daphne. And you're listening to Going West.

We have a third individual in the studio with us today. That's right, we do. It is our new rescue bulldog, Dwy.

The little doobair. He is so cute. We think he is around two or a little bit under two. So he's still such a puppy and has such puppy behavior.

But we just got him over the weekend. And he is so cute. He's just licking his paws right now. I wish you guys could see him.

Yeah, so if you hear any like, sort of snorts or noise, it's definitely the doodrop.

It is. So, but thank you guys so much for tuning in today. For today's story, we have received countless requests to cover this case.

Over the past month or so, because it's happening right now and foul play is absolutely suspected. So thank you everybody who recommended it.

And thank you everybody for listening and don't forget to share. And since we're not sure what happened to Jelissa, we will be speaking about her in the present tense.

Alright guys, this is episode 237 of Going West. So let's get into it.

In August of 2022, a 22 year old woman headed out for a late night snack with the promise that she would be back. But she never returned.

Since then, her family, police, various organizations and locals have been scouring the area looking for evidence.

And with cell phone pings and surveillance footage, they're hoping to find answers as soon as possible.

This is the story of Jelissa Fuentes.

Jelissa Nicole Fuentes was born on February 8, 2000 to parents Norma Nunez and Joey Fuentes in Selma, California.

And before her came a sister Irene, and after her came three younger brothers. So she is the second oldest of five kids.

Selma is a small city in Fresno County hosting about 25,000 people, but with almost one million people in the county.

It's located about three hours southeast of San Francisco, almost smack dab in the middle of California.

Her dad, Joey, says that Jelissa absolutely loves country living and being outdoors. And something that she really enjoys doing, especially in recent years, has been going to different lakes or to the beach, which is a few hours away.

And just like bask in the beauty around her and clear her head, she loves doing that. But she is also described as a huge family person, like someone who loves any excuse to get together with her loved ones.

So it's no surprise that she's very social and everyone seems to just absolutely love her. And I saw some posts on Facebook from her friends while I was digging into this case.

And so many people are sharing silly videos and photos of her and she just seems hilarious. And everyone seems to be missing that right now.

Her sister Irene posted this to Facebook on August 18th, 2022 quote, Jelissa is the person I love the most in the whole wide world. My baby sister, funny as person in the world with a big heart, makes me laugh constantly.
