Fairfax Co. police defend response after killing of Fairfax Co. teen Jholie Moussa | WTOP

Fairfax County police offered a defense Friday against suggestions they did not move quickly enough or spread the word loudly enough after 16-year-old Jholie Moussa disappeared in January.

Police did not put out a public notice that she was missing when her family reported it the Saturday of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend. Police initially considered her a possible runaway, since she had said she was going to Norfolk for a party the night prior.

“I am just emotionally on a roller coaster,” said Jholie Moussa’s aunt Veronica Eyenga. “I’ve gone from being in shock to sad to angry. I just don’t know where to direct all of my energy at right now.”

Divers examined a pond Friday afternoon near Ebrahim’s home. They may have been looking for Moussa’s cellphone.

‘If I can’t have you, no one can’: Family describes what they think led to killing of Jholie Moussa

The family of slain Fairfax County teen Jholie Moussa said Friday she had a restraining order against the ex-boyfriend charged in her killing and they consider the slaying to have been the result of an abusive relationship.
The family’s first comments on a potential motive for the January killing came before Fairfax County prosecutors outlined a pattern of violence they said the 18-year-old perpetrated against Jholie, 16.

Prosecutors, speaking during the man’s first appearance in juvenile court on the murder charge, said he had assaulted Jholie after “lying in wait” on one occasion and choked her to the point of unconsciousness on another in the past year. They called it “a pattern of escalating behavior.”
