Two-year-old Jozlynn Mari Martinez was last known to be alive at home on Nagold Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the night of February 22, 2010. Her mother, Consuela Martinez, reported hearing Jozlynn in her bedroom between about 11:00 and 11:30 p.m.; the following morning the child was missing, as was Consuela’s live-in boyfriend, Jeffrey Lynn Malmberg. About $2,800 was also taken from Consuela’s purse.

Investigators focused on Malmberg, who was located and arrested after leaving the state. He gave multiple and conflicting accounts, including saying Jozlynn fell down stairs and later admitting he had suffocated her by kneeling on her chest. He told authorities he had placed her body in a trash bag and later disposed of it in a commercial dumpster. Authorities searched a regional waste-to-energy facility but were unable to recover the child’s remains.

A jury convicted Malmberg of second-degree murder in October 2010. Jozlynn’s body has never been found. If anyone knew Jozlynn or has information about her final hours or where her remains might be, please come forward.
