Found Deceased CA - Jolissa Fuentes, 22, Selma, 7 Aug 2022

[kccorona]

Only to clarify, when they write "Her family says she was out with friends until around 3:00 a.m. and then stopped by home." Home is with the grandmother and nowhere else?
Stoping home and stoping by grandmother's home, same place?

Yes- article says she lives with her grandmother, and then says she stopped by home. So home is where she lives with her grandmother.

Another article includes a quote from her mother saying that when Jolissa is going to be getting home late from work, she lets her grandmother know. (Including this because to me if she didn't live with her grandmother, it would be odd that she would call her to tell her she'd be home late.)

"It's not like her to take off and be gone. She's very social. She doesn't miss work. We're going on day number four of her missing work," Fuentes' mother, Norma Nunez said, adding that when her daughter expects to come home late from her job at a packing house, she typically lets her grandmother know.

In my opinion, the grandmother and Jolissa living together also lends more sense to the fact that she stopped by the house to get a bag and money- not that she was getting the bag and money FROM her grandmother, but rather she stopped by her own home to pick up her own bag and money. Not sure if that makes sense now after typing it out... but it does in my head.

The latest I can find on Adventures with Purpose joining the search. It still doesn't mention if they are in the area yet or when they will begin. While LE mentions both Avocado and Pine Flat lakes this article indicates they may be targeting Pine Flat specifically.

Arrrgh, out late, car and Jolissa missing, last ping near Avocado Lake. Very worrying.

Do we know why she is still up at 5:36, after leaving friends around 3:00?

Why going out at 4:00 after getting bag and money at home?
Does she usually go home after partying and stay there?
Is she often all by herself in the middle of the night, going places?
Any words from friends?

She works in a packaging warehouse according the the article posted above. She may do shift work, afternoons or nights.

Her poor parents, I got a lump in my thought when her Dad's voice cracked

In the video - when Jolissa comes out of the store and opens her car door. Is she unsteady? There's something unusual about the way she gets back in the car.

Yeah I was thinking that too. Even opening the door her actions are exaggerated which makes her look intoxicated. Jmo

The way she parked her car made me wonder as well (she looks on/close to the line on the passenger side and she stopped well short of the parking curb at the front). But I am a bit of a parking perfectionist. The video of her driving away would be a better indicator.

Going back to the GH video posted by @samsmom on #41, he makes an interesting observation of the AMPM video. From 8:18 to 9:00 in the video, we see Jolissa look to her left at the guy who had just left the store ahead of her. She is apparently parked to the right of the exit. It might be nothing, but it does make one wonder if something else was involved.

Thank you both for sharing this. It gave me a better idea of where the locations are. Like the guy in the video mentions, I'd also like to see the footage of Jolissa's car leaving and where any other cars drive off afterwards

Chilling words of missing woman, 22, before she vanished revealed by family

A MISSING woman told her brother that she was going to the store and she’ll “be right back” before she apparently vanished, her frantic mom revealed. Jolissa Fuentes’ mom, N…

www.the-sun.com

In this article when the mom is questioning why Jolissa called via Face Time, her sister has said in comments on FB that them talking via Face Time wasn't rare.

 

[ThriftySolitude]

There seems to be conflicting reports. I originally read that she spoke with her grandmother last when she stopped by the house for a bag and money. Now her brother is saying he saw her and she talked to him? Does he live with the grandmother too or did Jolissa go to his home? "Be right back" doesn't fit with her family "speculating" that she went to a certain area to "find peace of mind". I am very confused.

I'm not sure about the "be right back" but her sister has said Jolissa called their brother because he wasn't home to see if he wanted to hang out but "she told him she's gonna go buy a wrap and smoke herself "

 

[airyberry]

I'm really starting to wonder about the information they're withholding about where she was last seen between turning left on Nebraska and then heading toward Sanger and beyond. Family stated she didn't like freeways so the CHP traffic cams probably didn't capture her, and from what I can tell there are no red light/traffic/plate cams in either of those areas. So, either someone caught her on their personal CCTV or she potentially stopped at another business with cameras. What's open at 4/5 AM must be limited right, did she go to Walmart for food/snacks, stop at MR5 Market for something? Would the police withhold information that important if it jeopardized the case? Unless she went through Fresno for whatever reason, I feel it's a little odd if she didn't stop somewhere else.

Yes, in the news video they show her at the counter in the mini-mart, and say she was buying a 'cigar.' That made me think she was using it to roll up some weed to smoke. I wonder if she had a friend or acquaintance who lived nearby, in that direction, that she was going to go smoke with?

 

[Tealgrove]

There was another case of a missing woman about a year ago who left a family dinner, stopped at a gas station, bought a cigar and then headed to BF’s house. She was found deceased from an overdose.

She would need WiFi for FaceTime or FB Messenger.
I’d question not that she used an Internet needed app versus a basic phone call - but the times of the calls. Only time I get 4-5am calls - it’s an emergency. Perhaps that was a normal time for Jolissa to call her sister.

The asking grandmother for cash at 3am is odd. She woke her grandmother instead of her parents? Did Jolissa not have a debit card?

So many questions.

Just want to say - I do not have WiFi and I’m able to use both messenger and FaceTime. I just use my cell connection, no WiFi needed.

Adventures With Purpose — an Oregon-based volunteer dive team who helped find Kiely Rodni's car and remains in the Prosser Reservoir in California on Aug. 21 — will now lend their expertise to two other missing person cases in the state: Annette Adams and Jolissa Fuentes.

The team was alerted of the missing women while searching for Rodni.

"When a vehicle is missing, that's a very alarming thing," Bishop says. "And in my experience, there is a likelihood that the vehicle could be underwater, the same way the vehicle could still be out on a trail somewhere."

Jolissa Fuentes, 22, vanished from a gas station in Selma, Calif., during the early morning hours of Aug. 7, after reportedly getting into a disagreement with a friend at a party.

I am not sure that she actually woke up her grandmother to ask for cash. Since it was the home she shared with her grandmother, I've been under the impression from MSM articles that she stopped by the house to pick up cash and a bag. I don't know that it's even been reported that her grandmother was awake or even saw her when she stopped by between 3-4am. I could definitely be mistaken, though, just not remembering reading that anywhere.

I think it was the way the articles were written?

“She had attended a party at a friend's house the night before, and stopped at her grandmother's place to pick up a bag and some money before driving to the AM/PM.”

It didn’t say she went home or went to her parents house. I interpreted the article as she went to her grandmother’s house to pick up a bag and cash at 3am. I guess I made the wrong assumption that she got the cash from her grandmother based on how articles were written. JMO

No your analysis is not wrong. She must have asked or somebody saw her grab cash and a bag. how else would someone know that is what purpose she came for. Many inconsistencies here. Definitely a skunk in the pile here.

 

[JnRyan]

Everything I read has Adventures with Purpose 'on their way'. They must have received some information already on the areas they plan to search because this article states they plan to search for 3 days and then they move on to San Luis Obispo.
