Episode 11: The Infuriating Death of Kenneka Jenkins


Listen Later

In this episode, I go over the well-known case of Kenneka Jenkins. Kenneka was a 19-year-old woman living in Illinois; after getting a new job, she wanted to go out to celebrate with her friends. Unfortunately, while the night started like any other night on the town, it ended with her passing away in a manner that didn't make much sense to anyone.  

While the cause of her death could be determined with reasonable certainty, there still lingers dozens of questions. Why was Kenneka in the situation she was in? Why wasn't more help offered to the mother of a missing young woman? Why was Kenneka left alone, seemingly extremely intoxicated, by her friends? And most haunting, how did Kenneka end up in that deep freezer?
