The Mysterious Death of Kenneka Jenkins

In the early morning hours of September 10th, 2017, the body of 19-year-old Kenneka Jenkins was found inside a hotel’s walk-in freezer. Kenneka had been attending a party the night before in the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Rosemont. 

Several hours later, at around 4am on September 9th, her mother, Tereasa Martin, received a call from Kenneka’s friends stating that they couldn’t find her. They explained that she had gone missing when they left her in the hotel plaza to go back up to their room for something they’d forgotten, when they returned, Kenneka was gone. 

In the recently released CCTV footage, she is first seen walking through the hotel with her friends at around 1am after the party. She appears to be steady, and is walking normally. However, when Kenneka is next sighted exiting an elevator sometime after 3am, she is alone and visibly impaired. She staggers out of the elevator, briefly leaning on the wall for support before heading down the hallway.

The cameras next catch Kenneka in hallways at around 3:30am, also alone. She struggles to head in one direction, and nearly falls over several times, but catches herself. The last clip of Kenneka alive shows her stumbling through the hotel kitchen, which appears to be empty.

She walks out of view of the cameras at 3:32am, the last time she was seen before her body was discovered.

Many people question how Kenneka opened and closed the heavy freezer door by herself, and how she went from seemingly fine to what appears to be heavily intoxicated during the time she was left by her friends, and when she is seen exiting the elevator by herself. Many believe foul play was involved.
