At the time she lived on a remote Wildwood Road property with her boyfriend, James Lee Jespersen, and a friend, Todd Andrew Swallows, and was experiencing homelessness and substance problems. Her family became concerned after a fire destroyed two trailers and Hagerman’s pickup; no human remains were found at the scene.

About a month after Hagerman vanished, Todd Swallows’ body was found in the Trinity River in Junction City. An autopsy determined blunt force trauma to the head was the cause of death. Jespersen was located and questioned in Alaska and later charged there with being a felon in possession of a firearm, but he was not charged in connection with either Swallows’ murder or Hagerman’s disappearance. No one has been charged in those California cases.

Hagerman, also known as Jo Jo, was a Native American female, 5 feet 6 inches, 172 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes; she had a tattoo on her left breast, a scar on her abdomen, and pierced ears. Her family believes she is deceased and she has been legally declared dead, but the disappearance remains an open investigation with foul play suspected. Does anyone who knew Naomi, the property on Wildwood Road, or movements in Weaverville around March 2001 have information to share?
