And this is Cold and Missing, where we cover cold cases.

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,240
And missing person cases.

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,720
Hello everyone and welcome back to Cold and Missing.

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,080
I'm Ali.

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,080
And I'm Eli.

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,080
Welcome back everyone.

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,640
Yes, we have Eli back this week.

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,080
Yeah, I'm happy to be here.

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:52,820
I know my absence was mostly just for the change-up and episodes that we had, but I'm very happy

16
00:00:52,820 --> 00:00:57,240
that we were able to do that last week.

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:03,720
Of course, last week we had a special guest, Ruby Hall, which is Alisa Roberson's sister.

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,600
And that's the case that we covered last week.

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,960
So if you haven't listened to last week's episode or you're new here, really encourage

20
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:14,320
you to go back to last week and give it a listen if you haven't yet.

21
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:21,240
We do have an update about one of our previous cases.

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:27,160
It's a case from quite a while back, episode 14, Kevin Graves.

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,480
If you haven't listened to that episode, we encourage you to go back.

24
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,940
It was actually when we were just starting out the podcast.

25
00:01:34,940 --> 00:01:37,320
So we encourage you to go back and take a listen.

26
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:42,920
Yeah, I know we just brought an update episode to you at the end of last year, but we always

27
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,680
like to keep you up to date as things happen.

28
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:52,360
And for Kevin Graves, they have recovered remains that have been positively ID'd as

29
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,360
Kevin.

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,520
So his family has been able to locate him and they are continuing to ask questions around

31
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,120
the circumstances of his death and why it took so long to find him.

32
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:10,520
He was found near the Electric Force Music Festival where he was last seen.

33
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:16,640
So we're going to be continuing to watch this case and see what develops here, but he has

34
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:23,320
been found, which is always important and a wonderful step in the missing person case.

35
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,320
process.

36
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:30,480
But for this week, we're back to our regular format.

37
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,800
So we are bringing you a cold case this week.

38
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,800
That's right.

39
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:41,620
We have a cold case this week and we are on episode 115.

40
00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:44,600
So let's go ahead and get into it.

41
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,400
Today we are talking about the cold case of Joyner Ondimu.

42
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,920
And this takes place in February 2005 in Newark, Delaware.

43
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:57,600
But first a little bit about Joyner.

44
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,360
Joyner was 23 years old in 2005.

45
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:07,840
She had been born and raised in Kissi, Kenya, but she had moved to America in 2001, just

46
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,460
four years prior to this.

47
00:03:10,460 --> 00:03:14,700
She followed her sister and brother-in-law who were already in America and making a life

48
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:16,680
for themselves.

49
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,600
In Delaware, Joyner was well connected to the Kenyan expat community.

50
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,040
She was known for her huge heart and compassion for others.

51
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,160
She had aspirations of becoming a nurse and had enrolled in the nursing program at Delaware

52
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Technical and Community College.

53
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:40,120
While going to school, she also worked part time at Chimes Delaware, Incorporated, a non-for-profit

54
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,300
that worked with the disabled.

55
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,540
She was also an amazing cook.

56
00:03:44,540 --> 00:03:49,320
She could cook any kind of cuisine and everyone would be asking for seconds.

57
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,680
She lived in the English Village Apartments with three other roommates.

58
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,360
Now there were never any published reports giving any details about the roommates, but

59
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,120
I did find an interview a friend of hers gave that said that the roommates were three men

60
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,800
who were all cousins and also from Kenya.

61
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,840
And now a timeline of events.

62
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,440
On Tuesday, February 8, 2005.

63
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,640
A common thread in this case is that there is a lot of unknown information.

64
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,080
And that's also true about Joyner's last day.

65
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,400
It's unclear what the police do and do not know.

66
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,280
And it's unclear how Joyner's day went that February day.

67
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:34,540
What we do know is that at around 2.30 in the afternoon, the police are called to the

68
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:38,600
English Village Apartments on 12 Grand Hall.

69
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,000
When police arrive, Joyner is dead in her bedroom.

70
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,540
There were obvious signs of trauma to her head.

71
00:04:45,540 --> 00:04:49,180
One of her roommates had found her and called the police.

72
00:04:49,180 --> 00:04:53,360
Police begin to process the scene and question Joyner's roommates.

73
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,600
All three appear to have been at the apartment when the murder took place, but they hadn't

74
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,920
heard anything.

75
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:03,480
In Joyner's room, police are processing the scene.

76
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,540
One thing that is mentioned is that while Joyner's purse was missing from her room,

77
00:05:08,540 --> 00:05:13,000
police do not think that robbery was a motive in this crime.

78
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,440
The next day, Wednesday, February 9, words spread quickly through the tightly knit community

79
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,680
about Joyner's murder.

80
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,240
Friends and family gather at Joyner's sister and brother-in-law's apartment to celebrate

81
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,840
her life.

82
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:31,720
In between toasts to Joyner, a choir sings spirituals to honor her.

83
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,480
Quickly, members of the community decide to gather funds to help send her body back to

84
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,480
Kenya.

85
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,960
Joyner's murder has the community on edge.

86
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,440
One of her friends, Chris Wemulawa, says, quote, when something like that happens to

87
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,400
a community, questions about security come into play.

88
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:57,000
We're asking Kenyans to be strong and let the law take its course, end quote.

89
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,720
The next day, Thursday, February 10, two days after the murder, Joyner's autopsy is concluded.

90
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,300
Police confirmed that she did die of head trauma, but there are no additional details

91
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:11,000
released about her death.

92
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,160
Police are keeping the details very close to the vest in this case.

93
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:22,200
On Saturday, February 19, 11 days after her murder, Joyner's funeral is held.

94
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,620
More than 500 people attend to pay their respects.

95
00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:31,440
After the services, her body is prepared and sent back to Kenya.

96
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,120
Police do say that despite the international attention the case was starting to get, the

97
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,280
news of Joyner's murder had made it back to Kenya and was being covered in the media

98
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:41,280
there.

99
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:45,800
The police have not received a lot of tips in her case.

100
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,480
Police do say that they have interviewed a person of interest at this point, but declined

101
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,180
to name them since they're not officially a suspect in the case.

102
00:06:55,180 --> 00:07:00,760
On Wednesday, February 23, just two weeks after her murder, Joyner's body arrives back

103
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,560
in Kenya.

104
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:09,180
In July of 2005, so it's been five months since her murder, police say that they are

105
00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:14,720
pursuing a suspect who is from Kenya and was a known person to Joyner.

106
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,800
The person has since moved back to Kenya and police are working with Kenyan officials to

107
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,360
locate the person.

108
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,760
Again, police declined to name the person in July of 2005.

109
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:33,960
However, that was the last official update that I could find on Joyner's case.

110
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:40,480
So if you know anything about the murder of Joyner Ondimu in February of 2005, please

111
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:46,160
contact the New Castle County Police Cold Case Squad directly.

112
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:54,520
Detective Josh Smith can be reached at 302-395-8126 or Detective Theresa Williams can be reached

113
00:07:54,520 --> 00:08:00,880
at 302-395-8216.

114
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,400
So that is the cold case of Joyner Ondimu.

115
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:15,780
You know, when I listen to you kind of describe the narrative of who the person is, you know,

116
00:08:15,780 --> 00:08:25,920
when we do our episodes, my mind almost always forgets that it's that I'm listening listening

117
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:37,880
to a cold case or a missing person case because I so easily can imagine who these people are.

118
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:45,580
Even before I've seen their faces, you know, I make the graphics but it's usually after

119
00:08:45,580 --> 00:08:58,000
you have told the story of who these people are and listening to who Joyner was, my heart

120
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:07,880
just has such an echo of sadness in it that this person isn't here and left so violently,

121
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,240
was taken so violently.

122
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:20,880
Her ending is an exact opposite of what her life was and that's so heartbreaking to me.

123
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,120
You know, for all of our cases, especially the ones that I don't know, which are often

124
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:35,680
a lot, like I just wish that they are in my stratosphere more and I'm so glad that Joyner

125
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:46,400
is here now, is here with our listeners and hopefully people who engage with true crime

126
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:53,800
do what they do and we can hopefully drum up more information about her.

127
00:09:53,800 --> 00:10:00,200
It's just such a lovely, lovely human being, what she sounded like.

128
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:08,120
Yeah, this was a case where learning about Joyner and who she was, that was like the

129
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:13,960
wealth of information that I could find was just testimony to what an incredible person

130
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:21,640
she was to her community, but also just like in general to like everyone around her.

131
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:27,200
She was so welcoming, so warm, so thoughtful, so compassionate.

132
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:33,440
Like you hit the nail on the head, like what a tremendous loss of a person.

133
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:39,640
And you know, coming across her case, you know, it's very obvious from the timeline

134
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,940
that there's a lot of details that are missing.

135
00:10:41,940 --> 00:10:47,680
There's a lot we don't know about this case, but it felt so important to bring her case

136
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:49,360
to cold and missing.

137
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:56,200
More people deserve to know who she is, but you know, her case deserves momentum and support

138
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,480
behind it as well.

139
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:06,480
I think knowing the fact that she wanted to be a nurse and from the sounds of it maybe

140
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,080
felt called to be one.

141
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:14,040
I don't know, honey, this one, that's just so unfair.

142
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,280
Like I don't know.

143
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:24,840
An angel on earth, that was the first thing I wrote down when I was learning about her.

144
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:33,200
And while I don't know her, I feel like that is a pretty true statement of her character.

145
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:40,280
Yeah, I think that that was the testimony of everyone that knew her.

146
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:47,880
And you know, it's reflected in the people who over 500 people showed up to her funeral.

147
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,360
So she had a huge impact to those around her.

148
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:57,760
And I think you're right, like angel on earth is a great description.

149
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:07,500
Now I know that when there is lack of details, that there's lots of room for speculation.

150
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:16,060
So while I ask my questions, I'm going to work really hard to be mindful of that.

151
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:22,160
But the first question I have is how did the roommates not hear anything?

152
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:28,040
I just don't understand that.

153
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,720
That's a great question.

154
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:36,200
It does appear that all three of her roommates were home during the time of the murder.

155
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:43,320
We're not exactly sure what time she is supposed to have died.

156
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,080
And then when she was found, how much time elapsed that has not been made clear by the

157
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,080
police.

158
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:55,000
But one thing that her friends did say in the interview was that she had spent the night

159
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,240
there with Joyner before.

160
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,040
And she said that you could hear everything in that apartment.

161
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,720
If you were in one room, you could hear people talking in the next room.

162
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:10,780
So it does seem very suspicious that nothing was heard, especially if this was during the

163
00:13:10,780 --> 00:13:17,360
middle of the day when all three roommates were home.

164
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,000
It brings up a lot of questions.

165
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,520
I'm going to be honest.

166
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:30,680
I don't particularly like going back over graphic details, and specifically in cold

167
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:34,880
cases.

168
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:46,440
I'm a person and I feel uncomfortable talking about it, but in this case, the head wounds

169
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:57,680
that she experienced, my mind drew the conclusion that she was beaten to death on her head.

170
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:01,760
And I wanted to know if you maybe thought similarly.

171
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:09,440
Because I know we are still missing details on if anything else happened to her physically,

172
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:16,360
but I know we know that the blows to the head were the cause of her death.

173
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:23,680
But I just wanted to talk to you a little bit about the specifics of that.

174
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:32,200
Yeah, in the reporting on this case, initially, they'll say that Joyner died from blunt force

175
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,080
trauma to the head.

176
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:41,960
But then the newspaper actually prints a correction in the following days that says she died from

177
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,340
trauma to the head.

178
00:14:44,340 --> 00:14:49,960
So they walk back that blunt force trauma statement, or it's at least corrected.

179
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,400
Maybe it was never said.

180
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:59,880
But I thought that was a very specific distinction to make.

181
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:08,000
And to get that detail out there in such a specific way, I thought that that was significant

182
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,320
to what happened to Joyner.

183
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:20,040
Yeah, there is a noticeable difference in the implications behind those two statements.

184
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,040
So it's interesting.

185
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,320
I'm glad that you caught the difference.

186
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:34,920
But I think that walking back on it is, again, very, I feel like we keep saying this a lot

187
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,760
about this case, but just very interesting.

188
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,880
There's a lot of information in the non-existent information.

189
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:53,760
Yeah, it does appear that overall what happened to Joyner was likely very violent.

190
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,760
And to me, there's some elimination.

191
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,500
So to me, it doesn't seem like she was shot.

192
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:05,280
There's no gunfire involved.

193
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,280
There's no stabbing.

194
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,520
So it seems like it was a very physical and violent death.

195
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:20,000
Yeah, and again, if you are someone who engages with learning about true crime quite a bit,

196
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:28,420
you know that that usually means aggression and that quite possibly the person, that the

197
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:30,940
two know each other.

198
00:16:30,940 --> 00:16:41,720
That sign of violence is usually personal, which made me wonder about her dating life

199
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:52,200
and romantic life and if there were any prospects in her life and if there was a possibility

200
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,600
that someone from that part of her life was involved there.

201
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:56,600
I don't know.

202
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:02,340
But again, so many questions with very little answers and I just wanted to know thoughts

203
00:17:02,340 --> 00:17:04,080
and opinions on that.

204
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:09,460
In the reporting, there was no mention if there were signs of forced entry or not.

205
00:17:09,460 --> 00:17:15,800
And because they didn't mention that, I did tend to think that maybe this was somebody

206
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,080
that was known to her.

207
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:26,280
And again, for the reasons that you said, just the level of violence that appears to

208
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:35,480
have been used in her murder, it does seem very aggressive, very angry and like it could

209
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:41,200
have been the murderer could have been known to her for sure.

210
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,860
But then again, one of the best sources of information we have in this was coming from

211
00:17:45,860 --> 00:17:47,680
her community.

212
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:55,740
And no one in the community was mentioning, you know, boyfriends, romantic relationships.

213
00:17:55,740 --> 00:17:59,800
That wasn't mentioned by anybody and they had talked to several people.

214
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:06,680
So whether it was something people just weren't mentioning or if there just wasn't anybody

215
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,440
very specifically that she was dating or, you know, had been known to date.

216
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:18,400
Yeah, I think the fact that she was, you know, very heavily involved in such a tight knit

217
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:27,080
community, there's the possibility that someone from within that community came over to drop

218
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,480
something off and, you know, she let that person in.

219
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:36,320
It could be something as easy as that and doesn't have to be as deep as romantic involvement.

220
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:43,880
But again, you know, there's a lot of room to speculate in the unknown.

221
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:52,560
But I do want to touch base on the possible suspect of interest or person of interest

222
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,320
who is now back in Kenya.

223
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,920
I know it doesn't become an international case, but because there are two different

224
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:09,360
countries looking for the same person of interest, that it very much complicates things.

225
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:15,560
And it makes sense to me that cards would be held close to the chest, i.e. all of the

226
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:25,480
information about the case because the case has now become so large because of the distance.

227
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:32,640
Yeah, the person that they were pursuing, you know, in July of 2005, kind of that last

228
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,040
update, they did say that this person was known to join her.

229
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,440
So we don't know how closely, if they were just acquaintances or if they knew each other

230
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,440
very well.

231
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,520
But Joyner did know this person.

232
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:50,360
And you know, they were in America and they have since gone back to Kenya.

233
00:19:50,360 --> 00:20:00,400
And yeah, the complications of a person of interest or suspect going abroad, or in this

234
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:07,520
case, like going back to their home country really complicates things.

235
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:13,840
Basically at this point, once they do locate them, they have to kind of get extradition

236
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,200
papers, which is its own thing to get that person back in the United States.

237
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:25,960
So it's a very complicated and potential political thing.

238
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:33,000
But this is a case that I think, you know, there could still be answers and police could

239
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,920
still solve this and bring justice for Joyner.

240
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:38,920
Absolutely.

241
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,640
I mean, it was only 20 years ago.

242
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,520
I can remember things from 20 years ago.

243
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:51,480
So I think it's absolutely solvable.

244
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:59,760
I think a lot of our listeners here will be grateful to know Joyner's name and case.

245
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:08,840
And hopefully just talking about her creates some echoes and more people start talking

246
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:14,040
about her and what a lovely person she was and how much justice she deserves.

247
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:19,760
Yeah, I really hope that, you know, by bringing Joyner's case here, other people start to

248
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,960
talk about her case, bring it up.

249
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:27,480
And you know, just other people talking and sharing the case does put pressure on the

250
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,720
police to get these cases solved.

251
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:36,040
If the community wants answers, they'll keep looking at a case.

252
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:42,060
So I think this is a case that's easy for police to put on the back burner, especially

253
00:21:42,060 --> 00:21:46,560
if maybe their main person of interest isn't in America.

254
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:54,360
But I think we can put, you know, pressure on the police to give answers, give an update

255
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:58,900
to stay committed to Joyner and justice for her.

256
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:05,840
So again, if you know anything about the murder of Joyner Ondimu in February of 2005, please

257
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:10,420
call the New Castle County Police Cold Case Squad directly.

258
00:22:10,420 --> 00:22:26,420
You can reach Detective Josh Smith at 302-395-8126 or Detective Teresa Williams at 302-395-8216.

259
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:32,160
We will have on our Instagram at Cold and Missing a picture of Joyner that I was able

260
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:40,320
to find so that way you can see her and sometimes putting a face to the name and the

261
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,120
case just makes it all that more personal.

262
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:48,640
So please, if you haven't, go follow us at Cold and Missing on Instagram.

263
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:54,640
You'll stay up to date with not only this case, but cases happening all around the country.

264
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,080
So keep up with us there.

265
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,080
We'll also always update about the podcast should we need to move anything around in

266
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,160
the week.

267
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:07,480
If you have some time today, if you could rate and review us, we've seen so many wonderful

268
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:13,360
reviews come in, whatever podcast player you're listening on, if you could give us a rating

269
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:20,840
of five stars, a thumbs up, following it, whatever that algorithm machine is in your

270
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,520
particular podcast player, if you could rate review us there, it means so much.

271
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,520
If you're an Apple podcast, leaving us a written review really helps the algorithm suggest

272
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,280
us to new people, which ultimately gets this case out there to more people.

273
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,560
And if you or someone you love is hard of hearing, we have transcripts on our website,

277
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:50,520

278
