One Detail That Has Not Been Explained #truecrimestories #truecrimeshorts #crimejunkies #podcast | Forensic Files

There is this whole weird thing with CPR. At first, Brandon's story was that he pulled JoJo from the chest, performed
CPR, and called 911. But Joseph finds out that when Brandon called 911 at 4:58 p.m., the dispatcher
had to tell him to put JoJo on the floor and begin compressions. But when she is
spoken to, she says from what she could tell like over the phone or whatever, it
didn't seem like he was actually doing it. And when EMS arrived by 5:11, they documented that he is not doing CPR
compressions. First responders find JoJo not breathing, without a pulse, while Brandon is just screaming, "God, no."
and crying, rocking, hitting the wall. Could just be panic though. Sure. But how about this?
As far as we know, nowhere in Brandon's story does he offer up an explanation [music]
for why JoJo is wet. And I'm not just talking just like sweaty [music] from being stuck inside a
constricted space for a long time. Wet from his nose all the way down to his hips. And police also document a wet
towel in the bathroom. And the bed is wet.

His stepfather claimed he performed CPR—but 911 had to instruct him to begin, and responders reported no compressions when they arrived.

And then there’s another unanswered question: Why was Jo-Jo wet—from his face down to his hips?

Investigators also noted a wet bed and a wet towel at the scene.

Jo-Jo’s death remains ruled undetermined. No one has been charged.
