Jovanna Crawford has been missing from Bridgeport, Connecticut since 1981. Below is the Charley Project description of the case:
Jovanna's mother's then-boyfriend, Ronald Garrett, was watching Jovanna in her family's residence in the P. T. Barnum Housing Project in the 80 block of Taylor Drive in Bridgeport, Connecticut on June 5, 1981. Jovanna's mother told him to bring Jovanna to her maternal great-grandmother, Mary Moales, who also lived in the housing project.
Garrett later stated that an unidentified boy arrived at the home at 10:20 a.m. and told Garrett that Moales had sent him to retrieve the child. Garrett described the boy as about 10 or 11 years old, African-American, with small braids in his hair. He stated he thought he recognized the boy as a neighborhood child and permitted him to take Jovanna. She has never been seen again.
Garrett was arrested for felony risk of injury to a minor on June 9, four days after Jovanna's disappearance, for giving her to the boy. He was convicted and sentenced to one year in prison. Jovanna's grandparents and great-grandparents occasionally baby-sat her, but Moales never sent any person to pick her up that day in 1981. There is no evidence that the boy Garrett described even existed. Garrett has never changed his story and maintains he had nothing to do with the young girl's disappearance.
Foul play is suspected in Jovanna's disappearance. She lived with her mother and brother in 1981. Her case remains unsolved.
Thought? Garrett's story doesn't make any sense to me. How did the boy know his maternal great-grandmother was looking for him? Why are there no reports of anyone else inside a housing project in the daytime seeing this young boy who supposedly took Jovanna? Unfortunately, just a lot of circumstantial evidence here with nothing much leading towards what happened to Jovanna.
