PENSACOLA, FL (WKRG) — The Escambia County Sheriff has revealed an app that might have contributed to the disappearance and death of 12-year-old Naomi Jones.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Sheriff Morgan said the app “Marco Polo” was used by Jones to communicate with individuals that might be connected to her death by asphyxiation. The exchanges on Jones’ accounts were said to be sexual in nature.
Naomi Jones, 12, was found dead in a creek after being missing for five days. She used “Marco Polo,” according to local authorities.
Morgan cautioned all parents to be wary of apps like Marco Polo, which teens can use to communicate with strangers.
