The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) POSTMORTEM WARNING

This young woman was a possible Mexican national between the ages of 16 and 25. On the morning of November 26th 2022, a panga style boat carrying multiple persons was witnessed off the Imperial Beach shore in the Pacific Ocean. The boat overturned and a resident saw this and alerted 911. Lifeguards responded to assist and additional agencies were brought in to the scene.

The deceased, one of the passengers on the boat, was pulled ashore and assessed by paramedics where she was pronounced dead without medical intervention due to lack of a heartbeat. She was Hispanic, late teens or early twenties, 5’4” (162 cm), 137 pounds (62 kg), and had black hair and brown eyes.

The possible name of Yos**n? Ventura Munoz is listed. Don’t know why there’s asterisks on the name but I think it’s Yoselin or Yoselyn, I did find a Facebook profile for a girl named Jocelyn who has the same last names as the deceased and even the same nose shape.

I'm not convinced the girl in the facebook page is our Jane Doe. Her philtrum is a lot longer. Additionally, Jane Doe has a widows peak, and the girl in the facebook photos does not.

So we’re thinking this is a coincidence?

This is a pretty common name. The woman in the facebook page is not Jane Doe, IMO.

3 people drowned, they say.

Julia Estebana Chan Canul, a resident of Mexico, was pronounced dead on the shoreline near the 1300 block of Cortez Avenue on Saturday, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Witnesses reported seeing the small boat in the ocean with about 10 people aboard before it tipped over and capsized about 6 a.m., officials said.

"Our" Jane Doe: A second passenger, believed to be a Mexican national in her mid-teens to mid-20s, also died. She remains unidentified, according to the county agency.

Captain and Co-Captain Sentenced for Maritime Smuggling Effort That Left Three Dead

SAN DIEGO – The captain and co-captain of a boat that capsized off Imperial Beach during a 2022 smuggling incident, resulting in the deaths of three people, were sentenced in federal court today to 54 and 50 months in prison, respectively.

Jorge Armando Preciado-Vasquez, the captain, and Alexis Martinez-Preciado, the co-captain and navigator, attempted to smuggle seven adults and an unaccompanied minor from Mexico into the United States over Thanksgiving weekend in 2022.

The victims were a 39-year-old woman and 47-year-old man, both from Mexico; and a still unidentified young woman, believed to be from Guatemala.

According to plea agreements and the government’s sentencing documents, the defendants navigated the open-hull craft from Mexico on the open ocean through the night until they approached Imperial Beach early in the morning on November 26. As they approached the shore, at approximately 6 a.m., the defendants directed all eight people on board to take off their life vests, a common practice so passengers are quicker and more inconspicuous making their way to the shore.

Soon after removing the life jackets, however, the panga boat overturned as shown in the images below. The three victims drowned despite the best efforts of surfers, witnesses and Imperial Beach lifeguards to rescue them.

I can't find the name of the drowned 47 yrs old man. Was Jane Doe the unaccompanied minor, they are talking about?

This was found with her. I'm almost sure the powerbank is white and there is a discoloration in the picture. There isn't a powder-blue Gerlax one for sale as far as I know. https://www.namus.gov/api/CaseSets/NamUs/UnidentifiedPersons/Cases/103238/Images/96654/Original

I assume the unaccompanied minor was one of the survivors, since we're not sure of Jane Doe's age. There were about 10 people on the boat, so accounting for the two perpetrators and the three deceased, there were five surviving victims.
