Josie Knox was an 11-year-old street kid and member of the Phalanx street family. She was originally from Arizona, but was sexually abused by her mother's various boyfriends and was eventually disowned by her mother after revealing the abuse. Josie later made her way to New York City and was soon taken in by the Phalanx Street Family. Two years later, Josie was murdered by Phalanx patriarch Cole Roderick after being interviewed by the police in the murder of Shelby Crawford. (SVU: "Streetwise")
