Last seen on camera. then a twist.

She was a promising young woman, a hard-working student, and suddenly she went missing what happened to Jasmine Siguroa. Jasmine's friends and family feared the worst, and the Denver Police Department seemed to agree as their investigation led them to suspect something terrible had happened to her. Someone close to Jasmine could be responsible for her disappearance. So we were sleeping here and we didn't hear a big boom about this. She just told me I have a confession to make. I haven't been completely honest with you. I've been in abusive relationship with Johnny. It wasn't like Jasmine Siguroa to miss an appointment, especially when that appointment was to meet up with friends. But on Tuesday, March the 9th, 2021, that is exactly what happened. Jasmine's friend called to confirm their arrangements, but got no answer. In fact, she couldn't get through to Jasmine all day. So she went to her home to try to find out if she was okay. Nobody answered the door, and there was no sign of Jasmine anywhere. As it turns out, it wasn't just Jasmine's friend who had noticed her absence. The following day, on March the 10th, Jasmine's husband, Jonathan Nuno-Mihungos called 911 to report his wife missing from their home at the 7500 block of East 28th Avenue. Officers were sent to file a missing person's report. Okay, how did she go out and I saw something about the courthouse here? She didn't tell you? No. Wow. Did she go out of their phone here? Okay. What's your name? My name is Jonathan. Do you have any place that she could be that we could try? No, we haven't heard anything. Have she done this before? She has gone out before, but she usually comes back. Really? But she's gone out and just not told you? She's gone out and told me and just comes back or she doesn't tell me she forgets that she comes home. Oh, really? Okay. And this is since yesterday morning? Yesterday morning. Okay. I saw her yesterday morning and when I came home, she wasn't here anymore. But it's not like her to be gone this long, right? No. What's her name? Jasmine? Has she wanted to hurt herself at all before? In the past? Yeah. Yeah. And I don't mean to be negative, I'm just thinking, have we tried hospitals at all or. I have not tried hospitals. Okay. You work first. Yeah. Jonathan had told the officers he hadn't seen his wife since the morning of the night before he went to work at 9 a.m. Around 10 a.m., Jasmine sent Jonathan a text message telling him she was meeting up with friends that evening. But as we know, she never made it to that meetup. What could have led to Jonathan being the last person to see Jasmine alive? Officers decided to speak to the couple's neighbors to see if they had any information on her whereabouts. Although they didn't know where Jasmine was, they did notice some suspicious activity coming from their apartment. When I knocked on the door, I mentioned that we were here in regards to your neighbor who, excuse me, has been reported as missing. And I was just wondering, if you know anything about it or what's going on or. So, yes, well, not yesterday, they before. So the eighth? The eighth, right? Because our son had a doctor point at 11. So we were sleeping here and we didn't hear any big boom about us. Okay. The appointment was on the 9th, okay, thank you sir, okay. Yeah. It was the 9th, it was 11 o'clock appointment. So he was all sleeping here, we had a big boom in the woke of all of us. Was it 11 a.m. or 11 p.m.? Hey. Okay. And normally we thought it was a dog's running because that's what we normally hear. But this boom was a huge boom. Okay, they have dogs? Yeah. Okay. So after we heard the boom, we heard the dog's barking, so maybe we was like, they're just running, playing with the dog, because then it calmed down. Okay. So then we still laid here for, what, we was like 20 minutes before we heard the car and it started up. And I was like, I hope we don't wake up the baby, because this is a loud car. Okay. The car is it? It's a, um, Cooper? Um, Cooper? And many Cooper, what color? Red. With a white top. Okay. Um, so it, this is normal, it started up, it sat there, because that's what she normally was. She would get in the car, she would sit there, do what she has to do, and she would pull off. So they, that happened yesterday. Okay. And then, um, this evening was a little weird, it's kind of a head to tick, when it was pulling off, it's not the usual noise. So. Okay. We didn't pay it in our mind. We ended up leaving a dress. I want to say, wasn't the white, I mean, the red car gone before my life? Yeah. I found a car. It's a car. We shared a garage. Yeah. We shared a garage with them. Okay. So we can always see or hear her coming in or always cross with her. But then, um, that evening, I realized the white car was in the garage. And I'm like, normally, they would switch. I don't know if it's on their routine, but sometimes you will see the white car in there, and then he'll move for her to come in to park her car. Okay. So then yesterday, when it happened, it was kind of weird because, um, as we was leaving, he was, no, we was coming, he was leaving because this is around. I don't remember the time I get off the word, I'm going to get off my, like, late night. Okay. So late last year, it was late because around 10 something, the white car was still in the garage. When I got home, on the same day as the doctor's appointment, this is all the same day. Okay. So the ninth, about 10, 30 or 10-ish, is my nephew was here, and my sister came to got him around 10, 30-ish. Uh-huh. And that's when we realized the white car was in the garage and I was like, yeah, okay, they just switched out. So then, I didn't believe him to go get him from work and when we come back, it's when he's like moving the car out. We're coming in. And that was after midnight then? Yeah. So then we were paying no mind. We're in here, you know, he's relaxing, getting baby together and then we hear the hoop were coming in. So I'm thinking, maybe she came home because you'd be here and he backed it in like she normally do. So then I'm like, okay, that's her, you know, nothing of it. As well as Jonathan's usual activity with Jasmine's car, the neighbors also had some interesting information on the couple's turbulent home life. Have you heard any other disturbances of their always arguing a lot? Okay. When we first moved here, you would hear them argue at the time, you know, and he would hear more of the argument because he leaves more than I do. I'm here with the baby. Okay. So he's heard them argue plenty of times and I guess she was like, yeah, I'm leaving on leaving and then I guess she would threaten him to leave. It was entirely possible that Jasmine had walked out on her marriage to Jonathan, especially with his aggressive temper. Jonathan was arrested in 2019 on suspicion of domestic violence and charged with second degree assault after he was accused of trying to choke Jasmine. She dropped the charges and was soon back together with her husband. It seems that things didn't work out from there and the relationship continued to break down. But for Jasmine to walk out and disappear without telling a single friend or family member was behavior without a character for the young woman and it left a lot of people worried, including the Denver Police Department. To solve the mystery and to try to find Jasmine alive, officers would question her closest friends and family in hopes that someone might have vital information on her whereabouts. Those family and friends revealed a marriage in crisis and a relationship on the verge of breaking down completely. Jasmine had confided in one of her friends and described to her just how bad the relationship had been over the years. So when she did confide in you, what did she tell you about what was happening? She just told me, "I have a confession to me. I've been an abusive relationship with Johnny and I've gone to the hospital a few times because of it." And she is trying to leave me and she apparently has tried leaving too, but they always come back together. Okay, but she said she went to the hospital a couple of times. That's what she told me, I honestly didn't, she told me bad about it and all the extent of it. Gotcha. So she didn't say like how she was physically hurt or anything like that? How she was, she just said general response like he would hit me, but no other explanation of it was with fist or anything else. Okay. What was your impression of John, Jonathan, when you were around him? What kind of person was he? Was he quiet? Was he outgoing? Something else? I think that was him with Jasmine, he seemed more outgoing than Jasmine. He would ask me how work was and then he shared with me that he wanted to become a physician that just did at one point. So I honestly thought the relationship was taking a turn in that he was changing and wanted to take his life around, so I just believed in that. I did not expect her. Jasmine and her friend had spoken on March the 6th. The very next day, Jasmine had spoken to her brother, Francisco via text message. Francisco also had information on the relationship that might I prove useful. Is it usual for you guys to communicate with text messages or do you guys call each other on my way? It's pretty normal. Well for me, we had an argument about three months ago, so our communication wasn't the best. She would still text me though. She was going to go out, hey, I'm going to go out to college, bring my friend, and she would let me know. Okay. But she would always text my dad every morning like, hey, how are you doing, how are you guys going to wake up and stuff like that? Francisco wasn't the only member of Jasmine's family that did not approve of her relationship with Jonathan. He claimed Jonathan was abusive, both mentally and physically. Jasmine had fallen out with some members of her family on numerous occasions, mostly because of something her husband had done, but on one occasion, he took things just a little too far. So, you mentioned that you just had a falling out three months ago. Yeah, I was up with that. It was over her husband, because she didn't know if she did worse than her not, because dad had an argument that those three months ago, or he tried pulling her out of the car, and she called for us, and well, she has really bad depression and light, and I was talking with her and she told me, she's like, I don't know what to do, and told her to take the best decision. I can't decide for you. We know that the best decision for you is to leave him, but I can't tell you, you have to take that on yourself. I started getting diabetes, she went to a couple within the last two months, I remember, and this Tuesday was her last one, I actually told her that won't be him, that's what she had on her calendar. She said she was hitting therapy, yes. Okay. All right. Okay. I'm going to come back to the therapy. Okay. But you said that three months ago, her husband tried to pull her out of her car, did she say when this happened? Or when I'm sorry, where this happened? It was about her apartment. Okay. We actually went to fear that poplar cold. Okay. It had an argument, she didn't remember what she told her, what it was about, but she wanted to get out of the car because she didn't feel safe getting out of the car and going to the apartment with him. Okay. And she called us and called the police, and the police did arrive to talk with them and they made a leave there. Okay. So the Denver police were called? Yes. And you said that this was back with that, we've been beginning of the December, that's I'm right. Or are we really from December or October? Okay. About four months. Okay. And do you know how that ultimately resolved itself? She ended up leaving for herself for around two months, and then she got sick and he wanted to take care of her at these days, you know, and then, well, that's how it went on. Okay. And when she left him back in September, October, whenever this was, where did she stay? At her apartment. He left with his parents. Okay. So he left. He left. She stayed at her home over a decade. Okay. It was clear that Francisco didn't like Jonathan, but it is unlikely he would suspect him of being involved in his wife's disappearance. That was, until he paid a visit to their home and noticed something out of the ordinary. After you talked to Jonathan, you went over, got his permission, got his key, went back to the, uh, to their adverse of her 20s, did you see anything out of the ordinary there? No. Everything's going to fine. So, like, we're doing that art, art, art, stuff, a little, uh, also didn't find any issues. We're just kind of weird. Okay. Do you know how many curse issues she typically has? Let me see. Like, around three to four pairs. So all of her shoes are gone? Yeah. Anything else out of the ordinary? No. Her car will be curved. We'll work. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So, and, I mean, isn't me any Cooper, she knew how to park it, anywhere, and especially in her garage, she would always stay perfectly straight, and it's almost tilted with the point to the toward the left and look back into, like, the other neighbors' garage. Okay. And I understand you tongue to the neighbors? Yes. Okay. And that wasn't all that aroused Francisco's suspicion. As surveillance footage of the couple's ring camera appeared to have been tampered with, only a couple of people had access to it. Do you have access to your, uh, uh, sisters' ring account? Yeah. I can get on their way here on your phone. Okay. There's one thing that's weird on Tuesday, just the camera was off from, I mean, of the day. So far, the investigation had produced more questions than answers, so to try and make sense of it all, Jonathan was brought in to help police with their inquiries. Let's go back to Tuesday, man. So, uh, why don't you just take me through your old Tuesday pretty much from the time that you woke up Tuesday morning till, uh, the time you called 911, I assume, and, uh, I had an officer come out. So, Tuesday? And just so we're clear, uh, we're talking about, uh, this last Tuesday, which would have been March 9th. Yes. Okay. Right. So, on Tuesday, we woke up at 6. 630. Are you guys on the same thing? No. Okay. So you wake up at 630. I woke up at 630 and she got, uh, I walked the dog quickly, came back to the shower, um, went to use, actually went to use the restroom, was being a guy, and so I was on the sprowing on, and she ran, she opened the door, was like, I ain't in the shower yet, I'm like, no, I'm sorry. Like, so you're like, running late in the window, and so we got in the shower, we took the shower together, we were talking about, you know, hey, don't forget, on Friday, we needed a fire, or a fine tickets, and we took the hotels, and we were going out to Utah for her graduation. Oh, okay. Um, for her message, I was like, yeah, I remember, then, you know, I'm going to send you whatever, whatever, we're going to, you're going to be okay, you're going to stay like $1 or $2, again, I'm like, yeah, I'm okay with that, you know, we're going to your graduation. Um, I got out, fed the dog, she was getting ready, you know, she brought on her PJs again, it was a blue short, it's in the gray, gray shirt, I think it was her, but she don't win. She had me, gray shirt, she had her face on, so they're the same PJs that she doesn't. She's working on her washlights to be comfy. Sure. So she sat down and started looking. Jonathan made no mention of an argument or a fallout between the couple that morning, despite the neighbors hearing a loud disturbance. In fact, it appeared the couple were getting along well together, at least according to Jonathan. Um, yeah, she texted me, I was on my way, I'm on my way to work, around like nine, like 10 o'clock, I got a text from her saying, hey, I'm going to go out with some friends, and I told her, okay, you got a text from my wife, around 10 o'clock, okay, that was on, and that's when I was on Evans, next to University of Denver, so I got a text from her, hey, I'm going to go out with a friend tonight, I told her, okay, be careful. In the past, what I've asked her, who are you going with, when, where are you going, what time are you going to be back, who you are in a fight about it, she said, tell me, you're not my dad, you know, do you be asking any of this kind of questions, like, you don't own me, that sort of thing, so I'm saying that to ask this question, I just told her, okay, be careful. Jonathan's story remained consistent throughout, he claimed his marriage to Jasmine was happy and healthy, and that they had made plans to start a family in the future, but according to everyone else, that was not the case. He also described his every move during March the 9th, but little did he know the investigating officer had more information that he was letting on. He was like, I'm going to go out with a friend, I'm going to go out with a friend, I'm going to go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. I'm going to go out, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. I just went through my phone, I got the phone, like, every month, I just leave messages. coworker because said hey there's someone hey you want me to tell you there's a cop there another guy standing right next to your car. Oh we'll talk about the truck or something. Coorkers because one of our coworkers is leaving so we're gonna find a party and then my dad saying something about me being being the account of their sales code thing. That's it. I don't know. And then the only messages I have I'm gonna have to meet you like Facebook messages from her. Hey emailed her today. That's it. You want to see that? Okay that was sent today. 7-3 or 2-3. That would be I would be able to work today for a provider. The interview would only get worse for Jonathan as the investigator presented testimony from his neighbors that would tear apart his story. Peace by peace. Now I do she let you broke your apartment? Yes okay take care of practice. Okay. I guess one of your neighbors said she's a real particular about being in the lines in square ways. Let's talk about the garage because my understanding is that there's three days in there. Everybody one two and three. Do you have their own a sign spot? You've got your own a sign spot. All right my wife has her sign spot. So a sign spot. Okay well I'm sorry when I say welcome to you guys. Where do you park your on the street? Okay. Is it always in the street? Or there's like somewhere in park it in like the back because there's parking lots in the back? It doesn't see a very fair. She's staying at home and her car is sheltered but she got a particular car out of the street when you're coming to go. Okay. All right well teach her own. So how long has her car been parked in that spot? Oh okay she doesn't ride at it at all. She drives that but she thinks what do you mean? Well it's it's part of her at the house right now. We know that. Did she less worker? Did you less worker? I had less worker. You less worker. When did you less worker? But the investigator had testimony to suggest Jonathan was it being as honest as he made out? Because we talked to the neighbors and they said that when they came out I was kind of curious because her car sort of sticks out and it was parking that's normal spot and then later they came back and they said that the garage light was out and your car was parked in her spot. Her car was parked out on the street and this would have been linked Tuesday evening. Yeah. Now. Didn't you park that? No. Okay. My car was out on the parking lot. The whole time? Yeah. Okay because they said that they came back even later that evening. Her car was parked back at the garage and your car was back on the street. In fact they said they saw you out by your trunk. No. No? Okay. I'm getting a few signals here because you just nodded your head yes and then you said no. No. I did not. Okay. All right. So you're saying that it was somebody else that was in your trunk after I had known I was never inside the garage. Okay. I thought any time I was in the garage was four or five months ago when she left four. We had to call her to strings. Okay. And that was it. Okay. And your car was parked on the street then? Yes. Pretty much from the time you got home until the next morning when you went to work? Yes. And you went to work at what time this morning? I went to work this morning at 7.45. That's 7.45? Yes. Okay. Because my boss wanted me to go in or within the provider who was first patient. I gave a lot. And that was more important than your wife being gone on my long tip. It was it's my and laws have already made flyers. They're doing a search thing that I couldn't go to. I don't know what else to do but remain calm and just wait. What else can I do? You can start but don't be the truth. I have to do the truth. I don't think it works. I understand relationships are hard. People lose their temper. They go on. It's difficult. If you love this woman, if you really love this woman, you do just about anything to find her. Right? Yes. Okay. So start telling me the truth. I am telling you the truth. Okay. Well, tell me when you went. Wednesday morning. Wednesday morning. Wednesday morning. I didn't go anywhere. I went to work. I called. I called the police officers. They came. I left to work at 7.50. Okay. I went to work at 8.25. You didn't leave home shortly after midnight? No. Okay. Jonathan stood his ground and was adamant that the neighbor's testimony wasn't true. He claimed that he was home on the evening of the ninth and stayed there until he went to work the next day. But Jonathan had no idea that the Denver Police Department had already analyzed his cell phone data and it told a different story all together. And you've already told me that no one else uses your phone and your phone was with him. Okay. You know how cell phones work? Yes. Okay. Tell me maybe in your own works. They are with the satellites. No. The satellites are like phone lines. Cell towers. Yeah. So you realize that even if your phone is in receiving calls, it's constantly searching for a tower. And it's constantly searching. When it hits that tower, it gets information and that sort of makes a trail. Okay. So we've got your phone leading your address shortly after midnight. I won't extend warning. You're telling me, "Nobody else has your phone." I said, "I don't need my apartment." How do we explain this technology? But I do not need my apartment. I am not lying to you. I want my wife to come home. I don't know what else to do. Start by telling you the truth. Your story is not making any sense. And nobody, no reasonable person, is going to look at the same and say, "This makes sense." Like I said, if you guys had a hauling out and something happened, now is the time to get it out because people make mistakes. And this investigation isn't going to go away. And we're doing a lot more than just checking your house and your car and our car. And I'm not going to go into details as far as what we're doing. But now is really your opportunity. If you made a mistake, I don't have a mistake. I didn't do anything. I did not. And if I'm not under arrest or anything I want to leave, it's like I always go and do something to find my way. Now you're interested in finding your way? I've always been interested in finding my way. You didn't even go into bed room. I don't usually go into the bedroom. I don't need to go into the bedroom. You don't normally sleep in the bedroom? No. Have you been sleeping on the couch? No, I have not. Okay. Do you guys normally sleep in the same bed? Okay. But take a night. I was worried that I didn't want to sleep in the bedroom. I want to sleep in the bedroom. Wait for her in the living room. Again, that makes sense. Well, you know what I'm saying. But I do believe you when you say that you went to bed at around 1 o'clock. That much is true because that's one time we have you coming back shortly before 1 o'clock. Cell phone data placed Jonathan at East 26th Avenue and Powatin Road between 12 a.m. and 1 a.m. That area was a fairly quiet road and was the perfect place to go for anyone who might want to try to hide something. The Denver Police Department knew this and suspected that's where they would find the answers they were looking for. I think you guys have been fighting a lot and I think things were not going well and I think at some point a line was crossed somebody might have been hurt. It might have gotten worse and I think now you are doing everything in your power to try and hide that. Now. Your story is not ending up at all. Listen, I don't think you're a bad guy. I'm like I said, if you made a mistake. I didn't make a mistake. Now is the time to go. It's not okay. Fine, I did leave my house at midnight. Okay. What happened? I just drove. I drove and I just drove. That's it. That's all I did. I drove. I couldn't see. I was worrying about her. I drove. You know, the problem that I have with that story now is that's I asked you three separate times earlier in our interview about to leave in the house, and you didn't. If I can't believe you now, or then, how can I believe you now? - Because I drove, okay. Where did you drove? - I just got on to I-70 and I just drove. - Do you go east or west? - I went east. - Okay, how far did you go? - Tower road, central road. - Just stop. - No. - Didn't stop at all? - No. - Nine and once? - Yes, on the Smith Road. - Okay, see, there we go again, as far as the whole untruthfulness. No, no, yes. You don't know what I know, okay? And so you're guessing around. See, the easy thing about the truth is there's only one version of it. - Jonathan claimed he went as far as tower road, but the officer knew that was a lie. In reality, he had been much further out of town, but getting Jonathan to admit the truth wouldn't be easy. And it might take more than a stern interrogation from the investigator to make him crack. - Have we done? If you're done, do you want to talk to me anymore? - No, I don't believe that you want to find your way. - Without a confession, the Denver Police Department would need as much evidence as possible to prove Jonathan was involved in his wife's disappearance. They began the search of the area where Jonathan had stopped his car in the early morning hours of the 10th. The search began on Thursday, March 11th, but had to be abandoned due to poor light. But that wasn't enough to stop the search teams. On Friday, March 12th, they made the tragic discovery. - Right now, breaking news at 6 Denver Police, believe they have found the remains of this missing woman. 24-year-old Jasmine Siguroa was last seen on Monday, near Denver Central Park neighborhood. The remains were found in Adams County. Jasmine's body was located at East 26th Avenue and Powhaton Road, exactly where Jonathan had stopped his car and exactly where his cell phone data had placed him. It was determined that she had been the victim of strangulation and Jonathan was charged with first-degree murder, assault, tampering with a body and abuse of a corpse. Jonathan would never openly admit to killing his wife and maintain his innocence throughout the investigation and eventual trial in 2024. But with the evidence mounting against him, the verdict was almost certain. - Guilty, that's the verdict for a man in Denver, charged with murdering his wife three years ago. A jury found Jonathan knew No Mi Hongo's Guilty of first-degree murder this week. Back in 2021, his wife, Jasmine Siguroa, was found dead in a rural area miles from her home. No No Mi Hongo's now faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. His sentencing will be on Friday. - Jonathan was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, meaning he would never see freedom again. There is nothing that will ever bring Jasmine back, but hopefully Jonathan's lengthy prison sentence will bring some comfort to her loved ones.
