“It’s That Mom Determination”: Former Detective Josephine Wentzel Came Out Of Retirement And Helped Capture Her Daughter’s Murderer

Nonetheless, when asked about her drive to close this case, Josephine cited motherhood as her ultimate responsibility.

“It’s not about being a former detective. It’s about being a mom. It’s that mama bear. It’s that mom determination that I gave birth to this child and, so help me God, I’m going to take care of this child until I die,” she said in an interview with Good Morning America.

Now, the Wenztel family and the greater community will be eagerly awaiting Raymond’s trial. In the meantime, Josephine and her husband have been raising Krystal’s two children in their Vancouver, Washington, home.

Following the tragedy back in 2016, Krystal’s sister also created a GoFundMe campaign to help raise money for the children’s long-term care.

“She was a very good mother who loved her kids more than I ever could have imagined. Any help is greatly appreciated,” the campaign reads.
