Case[]

Jovanna was last seen at her home under the care of her mother's boyfriend, Ronald Garrett. She was supposed to be staying with her great-grandmother, Mary Moales, who lived in the same housing project as Jovanna. According to Garrett, a young boy knocked on the door and said that Moales had sent him to pick up Jovanna. Garrett recognized the boy as living in the neighborhood, and allowed Jovanna to go with him. She has never been seen again.

Moales denied sending a boy to pick Jovanna up that day, and it is unknown if the child that Garrett described even existed. Garrett was sentenced to a year in prison for risk of injury to a minor for allegedly giving Jovanna to the boy, and he has never changed his story.
