00:00Welcome to your personalized deep dive. Today we're going to be meticulously examining the disappearance and tragic death of Jasmine Sigaroa.
00:10Yeah, we've got quite a collection of sources here. Police reports, testimony from neighbors, family accounts as well.
00:15And our goal really is to pull out those crucial details, build a clear timeline of what happened in this, well, really unsettling case for you.
00:24Exactly. Our mission is pretty straightforward. Give you a compelling understanding of the events. We'll sift through all this information, you know, highlighting what truly matter.
00:35Right. So you can grasp the core of the story without getting sort of bogged down in maybe unnecessary details.
00:40Precisely.
00:41So for the best experience, as we walk through this together, maybe pop on some headphones or just turn up the volume a bit. It's just us digging into this right now.
00:47Okay.
00:48Okay.
00:48So we were sleeping here and we ended up hearing a big boom above us.
00:52It was over her husband because she didn't know if to divorce him or not because they had an argument that those three months ago where he tried pulling her out of the car.
01:02She just told me, I have a confession to make. I haven't been completely honest with you. I've been in an abusive relationship with Johnny.
01:11Let's get into it. The timeline, it starts with Jasmine Sigaroa's unexplained absence. That was Tuesday, March 9th, 2021.
01:20Right. And the first sort of red flag was that she missed an appointment with friends.
01:25An appointment with friends.
01:26Yeah. And this wasn't just, you know, a missed call or something. It was a scheduled meeting she just didn't show up for.
01:31And people who knew her felt that was unusual.
01:33Very unusual. They said it was really out of character for her. So right away, that suggests something wasn't right.
01:38Okay. Then the very next day, that's Wednesday, March 10th, her husband, Jonathan Nuno Mahongos, he reports her missing from their home.
01:48Yes. From their place on the 7500 block of East 28th Avenue.
01:52Okay. So let's focus on what Jonathan first told the 911 operator. What was his initial story?
01:57Well, he said he last seen Jasmine on Tuesday morning before he left for work.
02:02Okay. And he also mentioned she texted him around 10 a.m. that same Tuesday.
02:07A text. What did it say?
02:09It said she was planning to go out with friends that evening. But, and this is kind of key, she didn't give any specifics.
02:14No specifics, like who or where.
02:16Exactly. No names, no location, just going out with friends.
02:21Did he mention anything else? Something about her car, maybe?
02:24Yes, exactly. He noted her car, the red Mini Cooper, was still at their home.
02:29Still there. So what did he make of that?
02:31Well, his assumption was, okay, a friend must have picked her up for this evening outing.
02:36Uh-huh. Wouldn't you usually know which friend? Or maybe ask? Especially if the car's still there.
02:42You'd think so, right. It seems a bit unusual not to have those details, or at least not to have asked about them.
02:48His assumption, without her apparently mentioning any pickup plans, it just feels a little off.
02:53Yeah, it really does. It doesn't quite track with how people normally talk about plans, does it?
02:57No, not really.
02:58Okay. So let's bring in some other perspectives then, see if Jonathan's account holds up.
03:02What did the neighbors see or hear around this time?
03:07Right. The neighbor testimonies. This is where things start to get, well, conflicting, and frankly, pretty unsettling.
03:14Oh.
03:14One neighbor, they were home with their young son that Tuesday morning.
03:19They remembered it specifically because the son had a doctor's appointment at 11 a.m.
03:24Okay. So they have a clear time marker.
03:26Exactly. And they recall hearing a big boom coming from the Siguroa's apartment.
03:31A big boom. That sounds significant.
03:34It does. They said they initially kind of dismissed it, but the intensity of the sound, it stuck with them.
03:39It wasn't just a door slam or something normal.
03:42Wow. Okay. A big boom. Did they hear anything else right after that?
03:46Well, about 20 minutes after this boom, so maybe around 11.20 or so, the same neighbor heard Jasmine's car start up.
03:54Her red Mini Cooper. The loud one.
03:57That's the one. Very recognizable. But here's where it gets really interesting.
04:01Go on.
04:01The neighbor specifically noted the car didn't just drive off. It, quote, sat there idling for a while.
04:08Idling.
04:08Yeah. And then when it did pull off, it was hesitant. Really hesitant. The neighbor was quite clear this was not like Jasmine's usual way of driving off, which is apparently smooth and prompt.
04:18So a loud bang, then maybe 20 minutes later, her car starts, idles for a bit, then pulls away hesitantly.
04:24Exactly. That whole sequence, it definitely raises questions about what might have been happening inside that apartment around 11 a.m. Tuesday.
04:32It really paints a strange picture. And the neighbor's observations, they didn't stop there, did they? It went into the evening.
04:38That's right. Later that Tuesday evening, around 10 p.m., this neighbor saw Jonathan's white car parked in their shared garage.
04:47And that was unusual.
04:49They found it unusual, yeah, based on, you know, the typical patterns of who parked where and when.
04:53And then even later, after midnight, the neighbor came home from picking up their spouse as they were pulling into the garage.
05:00Yes.
05:00They saw Jonathan actually moving his white car out of the garage right as they were pulling in.
05:06Moving his car out after midnight.
05:08Yeah. So that's pretty noteworthy late night activity, especially when you compare it to what he initially told the police about, you know, just having a normal evening.
05:16It definitely suggests something was going on that he wasn't immediately sharing.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Okay. So discrepancies are already piling up. Now let's bring in Jasmine's brother, Francisco. What did he notice?
05:28Francisco's observations add another layer, particularly about that red Mini Cooper again.
05:34The parking.
05:34Exactly. He noticed it was parked, tilted in the garage. The front was pointing left. The back was towards the other neighbor's garage space.
05:42And why is that significant, just tilted parking?
05:46Well, it might seem small, but Francisco stressed that Jasmine was incredibly meticulous about her parking, like obsessive about it being perfectly straight.
05:54Oh.
05:54So for him, this tainted parking immediately suggested someone else had parked the car, someone who maybe wasn't as careful or perhaps parked it in a hurry.
06:03Right. So, okay, let's just recap quickly. We've got a boom, a hesitant car departure, Jonathan moving his car late at night, and now this weird parking job.
06:12None of that lines up neatly with Jonathan's story of a normal Tuesday.
06:16Not at all.
06:16And the sources also mentioned their marriage wasn't exactly stable.
06:19Yeah, that's putting it mildly. The investigation, talking to friends and family, it uncovered that their marriage was deeply troubled. People described it as being like on the verge of collapse.
06:29Really?
06:30Tragically, yes. Jasmine had actually confided in a friend that she was in an abusive relationship with Jonathan.
06:36Oh, no.
06:36And that she'd even been to the hospital a few times because of it.
06:40Wow. That's serious.
06:42Very. She had also talked about trying to leave him before and him trying to leave, too, but somehow they always ended up back together. It sounds like a really volatile and potentially dangerous dynamic.
06:54And Francisco, her brother, he had more specifics on this, too, didn't he?
06:57He did. He recalled a really disturbing argument maybe about three months before she disappeared. He said Jonathan actually tried pulling her out of the car.
07:07Pulling her out of the car physically?
07:09That's what he said. And apparently it got bad enough that the police were called.
07:12Police were involved previously. Okay.
07:14And Francisco also revealed something else crucial about a specific Tuesday, March 9th.
07:20What was that?
07:21Jasmine had a therapy appointment scheduled for 1 p.m. that day.
07:25She had an appointment scheduled for 1 p.m. on the day she disappeared.
07:29Yes. Which really makes you think, doesn't it? It shows she was actively seeking help. She had concrete plans for that afternoon.
07:35It definitely doesn't fit with this idea of her just spontaneously deciding to go out with some unnamed friends later that evening without telling Jonathan any details.
07:45Exactly. It casts even more doubt on his version of events.
07:49What else did Francisco notice? He went to the apartment after she was reported missing, right?
07:54He did. And he noticed something he found really strange.
07:57What?
07:57All of Jasmine's shoes were gone. Like three or four pairs. Just missing from the apartment.
08:03All her shoes. That is weird.
08:05Right. He knew her and he felt that wasn't typical. It suggested she hadn't just, you know, stepped out briefly. Why would she leave without any shoes?
08:13Yeah. Good point. Okay. And then there's the ring camera footage, or I guess the lack of footage. This seems really important.
08:20Absolutely crucial. Francisco managed to get access to the footage from Jasmine's ring doorbell camera.
08:27And he found a huge gap, a significant gap in the recording.
08:32When was the gap?
08:33The camera was apparently turned off from around 11 p.m. on Tuesday night.
08:36Tuesday night.
08:37At about 7 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
08:39Right around the time the neighbor saw him moving his car. And before he reported her missing.
08:44Precisely. And importantly, the information was that only Jonathan had access to the ring account to turn it off or on.
08:52So only he could have turned it off during that exact window.
08:55That was the understanding. The timing is just incredibly suspicious.
08:59It begs the question, what happened during those eight hours when the camera was conveniently offline?
09:05It really does make you wonder what someone might not want recorded.
09:09Okay. Let's circle back to Jonathan's statements to the police then.
09:13He claimed the marriage was happy and healthy.
09:16Right. Which we now know directly contradicts what friends and family, and even Jasmine herself, had said.
09:21What else did he tell investigators about that Tuesday morning?
09:24Did he stick to the normal morning story?
09:26Pretty much. He described it as completely normal.
09:29Said they were even making plans for her graduation trip to Utah.
09:32Okay. And the text message about going out with friends?
09:34He maintained she sent it around 10 a.m., and his reason for just replying okay was, he claimed,
09:40to avoid an argument based on their, you know, past relationship issues.
09:44Hmm. How did he explain the boom that the neighbor heard so clearly?
09:49Ugh. The boom. He attributed that to their dog.
09:52The dog?
09:53Yeah. Said the dog was playing with what he called an unbreakable bone and must have banged it really hard.
09:59An unbreakable dog bone caused a big boom. That sounds a bit thin.
10:04It does seem like a stretch, doesn't it?
10:06He also sort of downplayed his relationship with the neighbors, saying he didn't know them well,
10:11and mentioned he'd filed complaints about the downstairs neighbor's smoking weed.
10:14Trying to discredit them, maybe?
10:16Perhaps. It could be seen as an attempt to deflect or paint them in a negative light.
10:21What about the text messages Jasmine supposedly sent him? Did he show them to the police?
10:25Well, that's another point. When they asked about texts from Jasmine on Tuesday, he initially said he didn't have any.
10:31Didn't have them. Why not?
10:33His explanation was that he routinely deleted all his messages every month.
10:36So conveniently, that specific text was gone.
10:39That sounds very convenient indeed. Monthly deletion of all texts.
10:44It raised eyebrows, yes.
10:46He also strongly denied ever parking Jasmine's car, except maybe, possibly, for a quick moment to practice reversing it once.
10:53Denied parking her car, even though her brother noticed it parked strangely.
10:57Correct. And he insisted his own white car was parked out on the street the entire time.
11:03Which directly contradicts the neighbor who saw it in the garage late Tuesday night and saw him moving it after midnight.
11:10Another direct contradiction. His story just wasn't lining up with the physical observations.
11:15Okay, now this is where technology comes in. The cell phone data.
11:18This must have been a major turning point for investigators.
11:21Absolutely pivotal. Investigators got his cell phone records, and the data showed his phone leaving their address shortly after midnight on Wednesday morning.
11:30Leaving the apartment, just like the neighbor suggested.
11:33Exactly. The data showed the phone heading eastbound on I-70.
11:37And what did Jonathan say when confronted with this? Did he deny it?
11:41Vehemently. Despite this concrete digital evidence showing his phone moving away from home in the middle of the night, he absolutely denied leaving the apartment at that time.
11:50Wow. Denying hard evidence like that is bold. Did he eventually crack? Did he offer any explanation?
11:58Well, only after they kept pressing him. After repeated questioning. He finally admitted, okay, yes, he did leave the apartment around midnight.
12:06He admitted it? What was his reason?
12:08His story started changing. First, he claimed he just drove a short distance to Tower Road.
12:13Okay. But then he changed it again and said, no, actually, he stopped on Smith Road instead.
12:18Why the change? Why the drive at all?
12:21His explanation for the sudden midnight drive was that he couldn't sleep. Said he was worried about Jasmine.
12:26Worried about Jasmine. So he went for a drive east on I-70 and initially lied about it.
12:32Exactly. These inconsistencies, the shifting story about where he went and why, it just further damages his credibility. It raises huge doubts about what he was really doing that night.
12:43So with this cell phone data pointing east on I-70, the search for Jasmine must have gained a new focus area.
12:48It did. Based on that data showing where his phone had been, the search efforts began on Thursday, March 11th, focusing on that general area along I-70.
12:57And tragically, that search, it didn't take long, did it?
13:00No, unfortunately not. On Friday, March 12th, searchers discovered Jasmine Siguroa's remains.
13:06Where were they found?
13:07At East 26th Avenue and Powhatan Road.
13:10And how does that location connect?
13:12It's within the same area where Jonathan's cell phone data had placed him during those early hours of Wednesday morning.
13:17The location matched the phone data.
13:20Oh my God. And the cause of death.
13:23It was determined to be strangulation.
13:24So the location matches, his phone pings, the death is violent.
13:28What happened legally? Did he maintain his innocence?
13:32He did. Despite all this mounting evidence, the inconsistencies, the neighbor's accounts, the phone data, the location of the body, Jonathan maintained his innocence throughout.
13:42But what was the verdict?
13:43He was found guilty.
13:45In 2024, he was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
13:50Life without parole.
13:51So when you put all these pieces together, all this information from the sources, what are the key takeaways that really stand out?
13:58Well, there are several, really.
14:00First, you have the clear pattern of inconsistencies in Jonathan's timeline right from the very beginning.
14:05Right. His story kept changing.
14:07Exactly.
14:07Then you have the neighbor's observations, the boom, the strange car behavior, seeing him moving the car late at night, all contradicting his initial account.
14:17Things he couldn't really explain away.
14:18Then there's the background context, the confirmed history of a troubled, even abusive relationship.
14:24That can't be ignored.
14:25No.
14:26The ring camera gap is huge.
14:28That suspiciously timed outage when only he could control it.
14:32Very suspicious.
14:33And his evolving contradictory explanations for that late night drive, especially when faced with his own cell phone data, it just completely undermines anything he said.
14:42Yeah, the lies really piled up.
14:43And then the most damning piece, perhaps the tragic discovery of Jasmine's remains in the exact area where his cell phone placed him just hours after she was likely killed.
14:53It paints a very clear, very grim picture.
14:56Wow.
14:57This deep dive into the sources around Jasmine Siguroa's disappearance and death.
15:02Yeah.
15:02It really does reveal a disturbing sequence of events.
15:04It's far more complex, far more tragic than just a missing person report initially suggested.
15:10Absolutely.
15:10And as you process all this information, what stands out most to you?
15:15Maybe think about the weight of those inconsistencies in his stories.
15:19Yeah.
15:19And how seemingly small details, like the way the car was parked or that ring camera being off, how significant they become in the larger picture.
15:27Exactly.
15:28Those details really matter when you look at everything together.
15:31The hope, of course, as the outcome suggests, is that the conviction and sentence provide at least some measure of solace, some sense of justice for Jasmine's loved ones after going through something so devastating.
15:43We can only hope so.
15:44Thank you for joining us as we've navigated through this complex and really tragic set of information together.
15:50We definitely encourage you to reflect on the details we've discussed.
15:53Perhaps consider what further questions or thoughts arise for you from this incredibly sad story.
