Chicago Teen’s Death Sparks Outrage: Kenneka Jenkins Was Found Dead In A Hotel Freezer, While Friends Claim They Don’t Know What Happened
Posted by David Adams on September 14th, 2017
When 19=year-old Kenneka Jenkins got permission to borrow her mothers car to celebrate her girl friend’s birthday, it was suppose to be a night of fun filled partying as the youth settled in at a Chicago area hotel. A volume of video clips shared from party goers cellphones, depict an atmosphere of loud music, drinking, and marijuana usage. It’s a typical teen party, but many question why the party was being held at a hotel? Additionally, Kenneka and many of the females seen at the event were dressed wearing half shirts with an excessive amount of cleavage being displayed. Still the scene is reminiscent of a typical modern teen party.
But something happened that hasn’t fully been brought out into the open. Some how young Kenneka became separated from her best friend at the party, was allegedly declared missing (that’s what they told the teen’s mother at least), and was later subsequently found dead inside a large walk in freezer at the hotel where the party was being held. The limited facts about this tragic case have been confusing and contradicting to say the least. This has caused a backlash from the public towards Kenneka’s so called best friend Monifa, whose birthday party was being held.
Also, a Facebook live video which has gone viral:
Is a very disturbing video, because sound analyse have produced edited excerpts from the footage that seem to suggest that young Kenneka may have been raped, and that the other three females captured in the video were present during the suspected sexual assault. In the edited audio evidence produced by independent sound technicians, one of the young women at the party appears to have said “they are stupid for raping her.” In another portion of the clip, technicians highlight a part of the sound that offers apparent moaning, a female voice in what sounds like a subtle utterance pleading for help. Precisely at that moment someone turns up the music, seeming to drown out the sounds in the background.
You decide for yourself if there is any credibility to the alleged rape scenario by listening to the edited and enhanced audio done on the video from the hotel room that I have obtained from the “Lions Ground” podcast:
In addition to the rape allegation, another plausible version of what may have happened is starting to gain traction on social media. Sources close to this case are saying that Kenneka’s friend Monifa may have received $200 dollars for a birthday sex romp with some of the males attending the party, and that Kenneka was supposedly have been offered up for sex with one of the guys. Apparently, Kenneka wasn’t a willing participant in the sex part of the partying. The video depicts Monifa telling Kenneka that she needs to relax and have a good time, with Kenneka responding “I am having a good time.” However, too often young people fall prey to violence and other negative situations due to peer pressure, and simply making bad decisions under the influence of alcohol and or drugs.
If this young women was in fact raped while others were present, they are all subject to potential criminal charges, in what would be perhaps an extremely disturbing case resulting in the death of their supposed friend. While the million dollar question remains as how did this teen end up dead in a freezer, when she was supposed to be celebrating her best friend’s birthday?
Moreover, Its highly suspect that this teen who was described by people who were there as being completely inebriated to the point that she could barely walk, some how became separated from her friends. This where the outrage comes from, because females say that as a culture, when they go out they have each others back to avoid these kind of situations. The fact that Kenneka remained missing, and her friend Monifa was at home on Facebook doesn’t settle well with most following this horrible story.
The onslaught of fighting, name calling, and finger pointing that has exacerbated within social media doesn’t serve this teen’s case any good what so ever. Those who were there should promptly speak with police officials to aid in determining what happened to this young women. I am troubled by the limited mindset of partying at a hotel by attractive young women. Even int the most rural towns across this country, when women show up at hotel parties dressed in provocative attire, while they may have no intention to indulge in sex, it often sends a strong message to males who interpret it as an invitation for sex.
Its a disturbing story that needs an intense public exposure to get to the bottom of what happened on that night that led to Kenneka Jenkins’ tragic ending…
