Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Crime Weekly News. I'm Derek Lovassar. And I'm Stephanie Harlow.

And we're here with another episode and it's going to be a crazy one. One of my biggest fears.

We'll get into it in a second. But before we do, we have an important message that we want to pass

along to you from our editor, who is also a friend of ours, Shannon. One of her friend's sisters

has been missing. She just sent me over a text and asked me to share it with you guys. So

Shannon, throw that photo up on the screen here and I'll read this off. Michelle Jacelle Lopez.

She's five, three, 140 pounds brown eyes, brown hair, 15 years old. She was last seen at downtown

magnets high school on Thursday, October 12, 2023, at around 3 p.m. She's highly introverted.

It's very out of character for her not to return home or make contact with her family members.

If you have any information or have seen her, please call or text the numbers that we're going

to have on the screen right here. But I'll read them if you're listening on audio. It's 3, 2, 3,

2, 0, 7, 5, 9, 8, 9, or 3, 2, 3, 3, 1, 6, 4, 3, 8, 4. We talk about these cases a lot.

The family knows this individual. If they're saying this is out of the ordinary for her,

we have to believe them. If you know something, say something, even if you think it's just trivial

information, pass it along to law enforcement. Let's find her immediately. We hope that she is okay.

Yeah, and I just looked it up actually. Downtown magnets high school is in Los Angeles.

So she went missing from the Los Angeles area. So specifically, those of you who are in that area

or around keeping an extra close eye out for her. Absolutely. We're thinking of them.

Hopefully you can find her soon. If we get an update, we'll definitely let you guys know. Okay.

So diving into this week's episode, this is some news that just came out a couple days ago. I did

see it briefly. And then when you brought it up again, I was like, yep, I saw that when I try,

I wish I hadn't. Yeah. So for anyone who hadn't heard, 44-year-old Joseph David Emerson
