Kottayam: James Joseph, father of Jesna who disappeared in 2018, said on Saturday that he is withholding details uncovered during his independent investigation into his daughter's disappearance. He explained that he would only share this information with officials whom he deems trustworthy.

James previously criticised the CBI investigation, stating that some key aspects of his daughter's disappearance were overlooked. He indicated that if the CBI closes the case without resolution, then he himself will pursue his own investigation to uncover the truth.

Expressing doubt that Jesna is still alive, James remarked that if she were, she likely would have reached out given the public attention to her case on social media and other platforms.

Regarding claims made by a jailed individual who asserted knowledge about Jesna, James dismissed them, stating that he didn't believe this person would come in handy in revealing details related to his daughter's case.
