Selma Police Chief Rudy Alcaraz said that includes ...cell phones, social media, bank cards, things of that nature.... ...Additionally from the onset of this, the Fuentes family was adamant that this is not normal behavior for Jolissa,... the police chief said. Alcaraz said authorities are treating her case as being criminal in nature. He added: ...To this point, there's nothing overtly that leads us to believe that a criminal act has occurred; however, Miss Fuentes has been gone a long time, and this is not familiar or not normal behavior for Miss Fuentes so we are treating this as a criminal matter.... ...VICTIM OF A CRIME' Jolissa's mom later told The US Sun she believes her daughter is still alive but in danger. ...I definitely think she's a victim of a crime,... Nunez told The U.S. Sun on Monday. ...I strongly believe someone has her.... ...But I don't think she's dead. I don't feel that. Her grandma doesn't feel that,... she added. ...I think she's in trouble and she needs us to find her.... The massive search effort shifted gears after Adventures With Purpose (AWP) confirmed there were no signs of Jolissa in Selma's lakes, which is the last area her phone pinged. AWP, the Oregon-based volunteer diving search team that found missing teen Kiely Rodni and her truck in the water, searched the lakes last Thursday and Friday. However, they didn't find any evidence suggesting that Jolissa was in the water. SEARCH GOES ON ...She's not in the water,... her mom said. ...But now we're searching the area and the mountains between Sanger and Selma.... Jolissa's frantic family is also raising money via raffles and a GoFundMe to plan for a private investigator, Nunez exclusively revealed to The U.S. Sun. Read More on The US Sun
