About Josephine

THE CALL FOR JUSTICE

My beautiful daughter Krystal Jaye Mitchell was murdered in San Diego, California on June 10th, 2016. The murderer fled to Central America. Since then I had to come out of retirement to pursue the murderer while raising Krystal's small children. I will not stop searching until he is caught.

Former Detective / Assisting in the Search

"The victim’s mother, Josephine Funes Wentzel, is a former police detective who has been instrumental in helping authorities search for McLeod. Wentzel has generated leads for law enforcement and helped spread word about the international manhunt on social media." "He messed with the wrong mother!" -Summer Stephan, San Diego DA

Thinking Outside the Box

Josephine decided she needed to write a book to expose the monster that killed her daughter. She strived to get her daughter's case on the US Marshal's Top15 Most Wanted. She printed his wanted poster on the inside and backcover of the book in hopes that her readers would recognize and turn him in. She also wanted to send a message to the murderer that people are reading about him and will be looking for him.

"Moving and powerful example of one mother's tenacity in pursuing her daughter's killer. This book is an example of love as the driving force behind Josephine Wentzel's dedication to finding justice for her daughter. She takes you along her journey sharing her pain, tenacity, and skills of detective work. This book offers hope and encouragement for others who have lost a child." -Karen's Books, Amazon
