California Crime: The Disappearance of Jonathan & Audrey Samantha Cortese | KTLA

On the pilot episode of this season’s California Crime mini-series, we look at the timeline for when Audrey Moran and Jonathan Reynoso were last seen. It’s important to understand the layout of the Coachella Valley to realize why so many people had questions about their reported whereabouts. Why would Audrey send that photo? And why would Jonathan order pizza when he was so far from home?

On episode two of California Crime, all eyes turn to one person in the Coachella Valley. While we see thousands of comments on local news pages, when one claims to know the whereabouts of missing people, you pay attention. We talk with KESQ’s awarded-winning anchor and journalist John White about what he found out when he went into the neighborhood where this person lives, and what he uncovered about Jonathan’s past that has people wondering if he was in financial trouble.

On episode three of California Crime, we talk to the world renowned K9 team with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. The RSO K9 unit was called to the freeway where Audrey’s car was found empty in 2017. This team of K9s and their handlers have been crucial in finding missing people or criminals on the run all over the state, even training teams from around the country to do the same. After you listen, you can see why many are confident in the capabilities of these canines.
