JoJo Boswell, a 19-year-old Native American woman, was last seen on July 11, 2005, in Owatonna, Minnesota. She had just been released from the Steele County Jail between 2:30 and 3:00 p.m. and was last spotted walking near Mills Fleet Farm off Interstate 35. Witnesses reported seeing her talking with an unidentified individual, after which the two walked away together. JoJo has not been seen or heard from since.
JoJo had been in jail for theft, though the details surrounding her arrest remain sparse. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a black skirt and had distinguishing features such as a mole on the left side of her face, light freckles, and scars on her right cheek and arm. Prior to vanishing, JoJo frequented areas in Minneapolis, specifically 31st Avenue and 4th Avenue.
Her family believes that race may have played a role in the lack of media attention surrounding her disappearance, pointing to the broader issue of underreporting and inadequate investigations into missing and murdered Indigenous women. Her case remains unsolved, and the Minneapolis Police Department continues to investigate. If anyone has information, they are urged to contact the authorities.Last Seen: Jul 11, 2005
