''Charlotte thinks fondly of the childhood she spent alongside Joi in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, just outside of Tulsa. She talked about the blissful, slow-paced lifestyle they led as young girls — running around the farmland behind their properties, playing with horses, and singing in church. “[Joi’s family] had a ditch in their backyard, and they had a swing on a rope — and we would swing over that ditch,” she said. “It was a blast.”
Charlotte remembers Joi as a “gentle spirit,” and told Dateline about the simple things she loved. “She was artistic; she would draw all the time. She taught me how to draw a horse,” she said. “That’s the kind of thing we did.”
''According to the OSBI, on April 19, 1987, Joi’s body was found at the bottom of Bragg Mountain in Muskogee County, Oklahoma — about a 30-minute drive from her apartment complex in Tulsa. “
In 2019, Charlotte created the ‘Justice for Joi’ Facebook page to advocate for her friend in the hope that it will help her murder get solved. “She deserves justice,” she said. “Somebody needs to answer for the voice that has been silenced.”
