Madera County Body Confirmed to be That of Missing Teen

(KMJ) – An autopsy conducted on a body found last week in a rural part of Madera County confirms it is that of a teen reported missing earlier this month.

16-year old Josephine Jimenez was last seen near Gateway and Yosemite in the city of Madera back on October 15th.    And Madera County Sheriff’s Deputies says her body was recovered on October 22nd.

But, the circumstances of her disappearance have yet to be released.  And Sheriff’s investigators have yet to comment if her death was the result of foul play.
