So “Josie” could be entered as evidence?

Hypothetically.

Costello v. United States

Brief Fact Summary. After being indicted upon the hearsay testimony of three IRS agents, Petitioner sought to have his trial and conviction overturned because the agents had no personal knowledge of the truth of the information upon which they testified.

Synopsis of Rule of Law. Hearsay evidence is admissible to obtain an indictment when its acceptable counterpart is to be presented at trial.

So yeah, unless Missouri has some rule requiring grand jury evidence to comport with trial evidence rules.
