JoJo Dullard

* Living photo
* Age progressed

**Josephine "JoJo" Dullard** was a young woman who vanished while hitchhiking in 1995. Her age progression depicts her at 34 years old.

In 2020, JoJo’s disappearance was upgraded from a missing person case to a murder inquiry.

## Background

Josephine "JoJo" Dullard was born in Callan, County Kilkenny on January 25, 1974. She began studying beauty therapy in Dublin but dropped out shortly before her disappearance because she was finding it hard to balance college and work.

## Case

### Disappearance

JoJo was last seen on November 9, 1995. That day she had been in Dublin with friends. JoJo had been living in Harold's Cross, County Dublin but on the day of her disappearance, she was planning to move back to her native Callan to live with her sister. She had become distracted while talking with her friends and missed the last bus to Callan. As a result, she decided to hitchhike home.

At 11:37 JoJo called her friend, Mary Cullinan, from a phone booth in Moone, County Kildare. She explained she had missed the bus and said she might try to get to the town of Carlow which was less than 10 miles away because she had a friend there who she might be able to spend the night with. She ended the call just before getting into another vehicle. Shortly thereafter, a woman matching JoJo’s description was seen speaking to the occupants of a dark coloured Toyota Carina only about 50 yards away from the phone booth. The driver of the vehicle has never been identified.

Despite an extensive investigation and widespread publicity surrounding her case, JoJo has never been found.

### Irish vanishing triangle

JoJo's case has been linked to the disappearances of several other young women who vanished in Ireland in the 1990s. These cases, which are sometimes referred to as the Irish vanishing triangle, are considered to be the work of a possible serial killer. Investigators continue to investigate the cases but they are all unsolved and none of the young women’s bodies have ever been found. There are eight women and teenage girls who are usually included in the unofficial listing for the vanishing triangle.

The 1993 disappearance of Annie McCarrick from Enniskerry is the first case in the vanishing triangle. Later the same year Eva Brennan vanished from near her home in Rathgar. In 1994 Imelda Keenan disappeared from Waterford after heading out to go to the post office. The next year JoJo went missing from Moone. In 1996 pregnant Fiona Pender was last seen in Tullamore. In 1996 Ciara Breen, the youngest victim vanished. Two years later Fiona Sinnott vanished after leaving Butler's Pub on Broadway in 1998. Deirdre Jacob was the last to go missing also in 1998.

Jessica O'Grady

**Jessica Jo O'Grady** was an American college student who went missing in May 2006. Her boyfriend was tried and convicted of her murder, yet her body was never found.

## Case

Jessica never returned to her apartment after stating she was "going over to Chris' house." Her friends assumed it was either her friend or her boyfriend, both of which had the name. Chris Edwards, her boyfriend was eventually convicted of killing her that night, as a significant amount of blood was found on a mattress at his house and matched Jessica's DNA. A sword found in his possession also had Jessica's DNA on it.

The motive for her murder was likely relationship-related. Edwards was also in a relationship with another woman, who was pregnant with his child. Jessica had told him that she was also pregnant, which may have led him to choose between the two. Her actual status of pregnancy has never been verified.

Although he maintains his innocence, Chris Edwards is serving a century in prison for Jessica's murder, although her body was never found. She was proved to be deceased, as someone who would have lost the amount of blood that was found at the murder scene could not have survived.

## Characteristics

* Brown hair.
* Hazel eyes.
* Pierced ears.
* Tattoo of a palm tree on her lower back.

Joachim Szieleit

**Joachim Szieleit** is a man who went missing from Kassel, Germany on May 6, 1993.

## Case

Joachim was a used car dealer and lent money with horrendous interest rates. He always carried documents and cash in very large sums in bags.

Since he had no bank account and no official residence, and was not registered with the tax office or the police, Joachim was also called "The Dead Man". He had rented the apartment in which he lived under a false name and paid the rent for a year in advance, so he was unknown to the authorities.

The day before his disappearance, he and a friend bought a car. The friend remembered that in the meantime Joachim received a call from an unknown person who offered him a Mercedes for sale.

Joachim's last sign of life was on May 6 at around 10 a.m.: he went to his safe deposit box in a bank. Presumably he was there to get the money to buy the Mercedes, which had been offered to him by telephone the day before. What happened afterwards, whether he drove to an appointment, is unclear. Since that time he is considered missing.

## Characteristics

* 1,80 m / 5'11
* Strong.
* Strong belly base.
* Short dark brown hair.
* Upper lip beard.
* Glass wearer.

### Classification

Family abduction

**Jason Osama Shannon** was an infant who was abducted along with his brother, Adam Shannon, from Rosedale, Maryland, by his mother, Nermeen Shannon. They may have traveled to Cairo, Egypt.

## Case

Jason's father had custody of him and Adam because their mother, Nermeen, had alcohol use disorder. There may have been a history of abuse from Nermeen towards her son.

The father reportedly sent them to visit Nermeen in New York and found them gone when he went to pick them up. He did receive a call from Nermeen and Adam after 9/11, and they told him they were no longer in America. Law enforcement was able to verify at some point that the boys were in Egypt and still alive. However, there is no way to bring them back to America because of international laws.

## Jelle Leemans

### Classification

Suspected homicide

**Jelle Leemans** (born February 3, 1986) was a man who disappeared from Rumst, Belgium on November 21, 2013.

## Case

On November 21, 2013, Jelle left his home in Rumst, Belgium at approximately 8:00 A.M. in his white Audi A3 (license plate 1ETQ452) to travel to the Netherlands for business, as he had done so before. After he became unemployed in 2013, he regularly drove to the Netherlands to buy large batches of drugs. That morning, his phone signal was detected when he drove under the A58 via the Burgemeester Schneiderlaan at around 10:00 A.M. Although his phone was subsequently turned off, Jelle's car was flashed at 11:30 A.M. on the Sint-Jobsesteenweg in Brasschaat, Belgium. It is not clear whether Jelle was actually driving the car himself.

That morning, he presumably closed a drug deal worth tens of thousands of euros, but something happened that has cost him his life. This may have occurred at the Dreefje in Nispen, The Netherlands, where he regularly met up with his so-called business partners. However, it is believed Jelle may have switched cars and travelled to Roosendaal, The Netherlands. There, he presumably had an appointment with car dealer John Wassink and his business partner Eduard 'Brutus' F. Police suspect Jelle was robbed and killed for money. Brutus and another suspect were arrested in 2014, but quickly released due to a lack of evidence. F. was arrested again in 2020. While police consider John Wassink to be a suspect, he was killed himself in 2014 by his own father-in-law, Kobus Lorsé. Interestingly, Lorsé claimed Wassink and Brutus killed Jelle and, as a consequence, Brutus murdered Wassink in order to prevent him from talking to the police.

Jelle's car was eventually discovered in Merksem, Belgium. In the car itself, a paper bag with a partially eaten sandwich was found on which the DNA of an unknown woman was detected. The DNA did not belong to Jelle's girlfriend or any other woman in his immediate environment. Witnesses described how an unknown man, wearing a green hooded vest, ran away from the Audi in the direction of the Water Purification Station further down Campiniastraat. He subsequently turned left and walked under the bridge towards the Bredabaan. This man is of a particular interest to investigators.

## Characteristics

Jonnie White

* Living photo
* Age progressed

**Jonnie Renee White** was a teenager who disappeared from Alaska in 1998. Her photo is shown age-progressed to 37 years.

## Background

Jonnie lived with her mother in Kodiak, Alaska, although she wanted to move in with her boyfriend, who was away on a fishing trip at the time of her disappearance. Jonnie had dropped out of high school but was trying to get a job. She did not drink alcohol but did occasionally smoke marijuana.

## Case

Jonnie was last seen while on a camping trip at the Pasagshak Bay State Recreation Site with Sharon Dawson Raikoglo and Raikoglo’s boyfriend, Roland Scott Tennison. She had been hired to babysit Raikoglo’s four-year-old daughter while the couple attended a music festival and was also going to be a designated driver if necessary.

According to Tennison, he and Jonnie had gone to a beach near Kodiak Cattle Ranch around midnight on July 19 to collect firewood, but his pickup truck got stuck in the sand. They decided to sleep in the truck until daylight and they both fell asleep around 4:00 a.m. When Tennison woke up around 10:00 a.m., Jonnie was gone. He assumed she had walked back to the campsite.

When Tennison and Jonnie failed to return from collecting firewood, Raikoglo notified the police. Tennison arrived at the campsite around noon that day, but Jonnie was never seen again. Authorities did not find any blood or semen in Tennison’s truck. There was no firewood either, but there were fire marks in the sand.

In July 2000, a state coroner's jury determined that Jonnie died the night she vanished of unknown causes. Jonnie’s mother filed a wrongful death suit against Tennison and Raikoglo in February 2001. She alleged that Tennison hurt Jonnie while they were driving at the beach. She also claimed that Raikoglo had apologized to her after Jonnie’s disappearance and said she didn’t mean for it to happen.

Both Tennison and Raikoglo were found liable for Jonnie’s presumed death and were ordered to pay $1.5 million each. However, neither has faced criminal charges.

John Ashe

**John Berkley Ashe** was an Australian Army soldier who went missing in action during the Korean War on 28 May 1953. As of 2022, he is one of 43 Australians who remain unaccounted for during the Korean War.

## Case

John Ashe was born on 29 November 1929 in Richmond, Victoria, Australia. Later in life, he joined the Australian Army from Edithvale, Victoria. He became a (Lance) Corporal of the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR). His service number was 3/3706.

On 17 March 1953, the 2RAR arrived at South Korea through the MV *New Australia*. Four days later, they joined the Commonwealth Division, replacing the 1RAR at Camp Casey near Tongduchon, South Korea. Also relieving a French battalion, the 2RAR took up a position along the Jamestown Line in the area of the Imjin and Samichon Rivers, and began patrolling in the 'no-man's land' area around the Imjin and Samichon Rivers. Tasks while patrolling included making small advances, defending its position, capturing prisoners, collecting intelligence, and maintaining minefields and trenches.

On 28 May 1953, John was declared missing in action. Although the circumstances of his disappearance are unclear, he most likely disappeared while involved in a small skirmish with enemy forces while on patrol.

John Berkley Ashe was not among any of the 30 Australian POWs returned to custody, and he is presumed to have been killed in action. He is memorialized in Panel 1 of the Australian War Memorial at Treloar Crescent Campbell, Australia and in Wall No. 1 of the United National Memorial Cemetery at Busan, South Korea.

**Jonathan Bruce Jackson** was a man who disappeared in Guam under suspicious circumstances in 1987.

## Case

Jonathan Jackson, a used-car salesman, left his Agana Heights home at 8:00PM on June 9, 1987 to go out with coworkers and have drinks with them. When he did not return the next morning, his wife, who was pregnant with their daughter at the time, reported him missing to the police.

His maroon Mazda hatchback was found at the Guam Airport with blood inside of it. A check of recent airline tickets purchased at the airport showed that a ticket to Chuuk, an island in Micronesia 633 miles southeast of Guam, was purchased under his name for a June 14 flight.

John Heijboer

**Jacob Abraham Pieter "John" Heijboer** (July 10, 1962) was a man who disappeared from Oosterhout, The Netherlands on August 23, 2005.

## Case

John left the house in a rented car without his mobile phone or his wallet, which he always carried with him. In addition, he left his bank cards, passport and identity card at home. On August 29, his brother officially reported John as missing.

John has been mentioned as a key witness related to a large Belgian drug case, in which he himself was also a suspect, leading some to believe his disappearance was crime related. He is said to have informed police against two large drug traffickers from West Brabant and Antwerp. Indeed, John had reported to the police in June of 2010 that he was afraid of being murdered. Moreover, several people have indicated that the man appeared "hunted" and even wore a bulletproof vest.

In recent years, John's case has often been linked to the disappearance of Herman Ploegstra, who disappeared from Breskens, The Netherlands in 2010. Both men have several things in common. Besides being from the same region, they were involved in an extramarital affair with the same woman from Terneuzen. Moreover, they were both regularly spotted in the company of a well-known, now convicted criminal, Evert de C. John had actually been working as a security guard for this notorious man, but was rumored to have transported drugs on Evert's orders, as well. According to some sources, John may have stolen drugs, leading to great tension between the two men. However, Evert claims he has no involvement in either disappearance.
