Then while investigators are at it, they also try to recreate the scene.

They use a mannequin similar in size to Jojo.

And this thing barely fits inside the chest at all because the chest wasn't empty.

When Brandon says he went in there, there were toys inside of it.

Specifically, there was this large Batman doll that took up a significant amount of space.

So with all of this new info, the medical examiner actually goes back to amend the report.

In non-medical jargon, it now says that JoJo died from lack of oxygen, but they just can't say how.

Undetermined.

Still undetermined.

But there is one more addition to this report that makes Joseph stop cold in his tracks and just have this like almost like I freaking knew it moment.

Right.

Like this aha moment.

And here, but I'm actually just going to have you read it because you'll know exactly what he was feeling.

Now, it's not a ruling, just a concern for homicidal drowning.

But it's concern enough for investigators to reassess everything.

To go back to the drawing board and to try and figure out if JoJo didn't die from being trapped in a toy chest...

Then what really killed him?

Joseph couldn't be side by side with investigators as they work to find the answers.

They had to keep him at an arm's length to protect their investigation.

So he would have to wait until 2023 to hear any other possible theory about what could have happened to his son.
