True Crime in the 50

Minnesota: The Mysterious Death of Chris Jenkins


Listen Later

On November 1st, 2002, Steve and Jan Jenkins were at their home in Burlington, Wisconsin, waiting for their daughter, Sara, to visit, when they got a call from Ben Kroon, their son, Chris' roommate at the University of Minnesota. Ben was calling to tell Chris' parents that Chris had attended a Halloween party at a bar the night before, and no one had seen or heard from him since.
Chris Jenkins, 21, was kicked out of the Lone Tree Bar at around 1 am for reasons no one was really sure. He was not that intoxicated, but he left the bar and headed in the direction of his apartment. Almost four months later, in February of 2003, a woman was taking her daily walk over the bridges of the Mississippi River. She looked down and saw something strange floating in the river below. It was Chris Jenkins, and he had been dead for months. So what had happened? Did he have a horrible accident, or was he met with foul play. And, if so, why?
