Once an efficient cop in Gotham anticrime unit and hoping for detective, Josie was unlucky enough to find the major's wife in bed with an exotic dancer in a hotel room while searching for murder evidence. The woman, head of the American Family Network and connected as they come, managed to get her demoted and tranferred in four days despite her protests. They asked her not to make a fuss of it. In exchange, she would be back in six months. Thus, she found herself in the Missing persons department.
Josie had become a cop because she liked to help people. When she was nine, her little brother dissappeared forever. Then, she found out she had the strange ability of finding things. As if things wanted to be found by her. She started to be known in the community for her little gift. She often helped people, but sometimes other people was not grateful for that. Like thieves. At some point, Jimmy Brantley vanished and her mother begged Josie to find him. She told her she could not find people, just things, but Mrs Brantley did not believe her. She called Josie a devil and told them that her brother had vanished as a punishment for their behaviour. Since that day, each time someone came to her house to ask her to find something, her father told them she could not do the trick anymore.
Ten years later she applied for the GPCD and she never told anyone about her gift. After being demoted, Josie became involved in a missing child case. Unfortunately, the kid turned out to be the grandson of Annotelli, a big crime boss in the city. When Josie used her gift to find the whereabouts of the kid, they tried to kill her twice and then they murdered her father. She soon discovered that Twofaces had kidnapped him and Batman helped her capture him. However, he told her that he had been paid to keep him and that he had not tried to kill her nor her father. She believed him. The family lawyer, Montassano, had been the one. Since Anthony had dissappeared, he had gained power in the family and he wanted more. Realizing that he had been discovered, he tried to go for a gun, but Josie sensed it and shot first. She killed the man and, after her success, she got promoted to detective third class. However, she is not sure she wants to be a cop anymore.
