On Monday morning, while driving home after dropping off her husband at work, a local resident named Billie Jackson noticed a body floating in the water. Initially, she thought it was a mannequin.
“I drove past, and when I looked up the creek, I thought it was a mannequin. I did a U-turn, and I stopped on the bridge, put my flashers on, looked down, and realized it was someone. I parked right here and called 911 immediately,” she told local station ABC 13.
It is believed that Jocelyn snuck out of her house and was talking to her 13-year-old boyfriend on the phone when he heard adult males approaching her.

The victim’s mother, Alexis Nungaray, does not believe her daughter knew her killers.
“She’s not one to be aggressive and be like, ‘Stop talking to me,’” she said. “She is very shy and quiet and keeps to herself. I felt like she maybe didn’t want to be rude, and that’s why she was pacing back and forth and safely get away from the situation. She unfortunately got caught with the wrong people at the wrong time.”
