MISSING PERSON CASE - CONNECTICUT
EAST HARTFORD - NEW BRITAIN
MISSING SINCE: MARCH 29, 2004
DETAILS OF THE CASE
Joyvaline disappeared from East Hartford, Connecticut on October 10, 2003, but was not reported missing until March 29, 2004. Suspicion arose when she did not show up for her birthday party. She was last spotted in her hometown of East Hartford, where she lived with her mother. She was last seen with a male whom she had an active restraining order against.
In 2007, the remains of 3 unidentified females were located in the woods behind a New Britain shopping center. One of the three remains was identified as Joyvaline though they were partial remains. NamUs still has her case open due to the fact they were partial remains though we believe she is deceased with her full remains yet to be discovered.
A serial killer named William Devin Howell - known as the "Sick Ripper" - has been captured and charged for the murder of eight women including Joyvaline. He has used a van to kidnap several of his victims. Howell may have more victims. Just like Joyvaline, his victims were women who had a history of substance abuse issues, prostitution, and minor problems with the law.
