RIP Jennifer. We expected it to be her, now we need an arrest.

Mesquite Police explain why case involving human remains of a missing DISD teacher's aid is ‘difficult'

On Monday the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that human remains found near I-20 in Mesquite on Oct. 12 belonged to Jennifer Mendez Olascoaga, 24, who had been missing for weeks.

***********
"On September 27. She was last seen. She was located Oct. 12. So we do have a span of time, so we're getting a delayed start on this and that does make it a little more difficult," explained Ricketts (Lt. Rickketts, Mesquite PD) who said time is critical in these types of cases.

He said they are now in charge of the investigation since the remains were found in their jurisdiction. Ricketts said Seagoville Police, which handled the initial missing case, has handed over the case to Mesquite Police.

“We do have evidence from the scene, we have her vehicle that in our possession, so we have evidence to look at and go over. We have family members to talk to the other agencies about what they've collected, but obviously, we'd love to talk to anyone else that may have information in this case," said Ricketts.

LE used DNA to identify the remains. Good to know it is Mesquite PD that is handling the case. I was a bit unclear as to which jurisdiction this would fall under.

I wish we had some updates on this case. No doubt the family would like some as well.

Okay, I guess the mystery cause of death is either not yet clear or releasing it will harm the investigation.

I am glad that an arrest was made. Balch Springs looks to be close to Mesquite.

Any guesses as to whether or not JO knew this individual?

Great news and kudos to LE and the family for keeping a tight lid on the ongoing investigation until they had him in custody.

Thanks for posting this.
Thank goodness he was too stupid to turn off the phones when he took her to the woods, shot her, hid her in the woods and then went home to his apartment. They don't know the motive for him to take this young woman from her family, maybe it will come out later. Again, kudos to the family for the awful task of not talking about the case while LE tracked down the p*s.
Rest in peace Jennifer and condolences to her family and friends.

Did JO drive her car after she met up with her killer at the Wastewater treatment plant? Was he an employee there?

I tried to find court records for SBM but only found a motor vehicle accident that occurred in 2020. He was ordered to pay the plaintiff, who shares his last name, $60,000.
