This memorial tribute is dedicated to the memory of the beautiful Kenneka Martin Jenkins, who was found tragically found dead in a freezer at the rosemont hotel & I really felt bad about how this girl lost her life & she doesn't deserve to lost her life in a horrible way.
A teenager was found dead after attending a party at a hotel in Chicago. According to the Chicago Tribune, Kenneka Jenkins left her home around 11 p.m. on Sept. 9 to attend a party at the Crowne Plaza near Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
After partying with friends for a few hours, Jenkins reportedly went missing. Shortly after 4 a.m., Jenkins’ friends called her mother, Teresa Martin, to let her know that they did not know where she was. When Martin arrived, hotel management would not allow her to see the surveillance video from the hotel until she got an official missing person report from police. When Martin was able to obtain the necessary documents, police reviewed footage and claimed that Jenkins was not spotted on the footage.
Martin left the hotel and returned with several friends and family members who knocked on hotel doors and asked guests if they had seen the missing teenage girl. Those actions led to hotel management calling police on Martin. When police arrived, one officer listened to Martin’s story and decided to look at the video again.
After viewing the video for the second time, police said they spotted Jenkins staggering while walking near the front desk of the hotel. Hours after viewing the video, Jenkins was eventually found dead in a freezer.
Jenkins’ mother was puzzled by the discovery. The freezer was located in an area that is usually blocked off from hotel guests because construction is occurring in the area. Also, Jenkins’ friends have given several conflicting stories of when she initially went missing from the party. And Martin believes that the freezer door would have been too heavy for Jenkins to open if she was inebriated.
Police initially said that it doesn’t appear that foul play was involved in Jenkins’ death. However, an investigation of her death will continue in the upcoming days.
Update:
The cause of death in my opinion is asphyxiation. Alcohol and topiramate were in her blood stream. The manner of death was she was sexually assualted & murdered. The autopsy which included an examination all of Ms. Jenkins organs on Sept 19, found the following: Mucosal erosions in the stomach known as wischnevsky's lesions, which are indicative the brain was edematous, or swollen which is not idicative of hypothermia, The brain was edematous, or swollen which is not indicative of a specific cause of death, an abrasion on her right ankle & a purple contusion on her right leg, There was no other evidence or internal trauma. Comprehensive toxicology test were ordered to test for hundreds of drugs of abuse, medications & and other other chemical compounds. In addition toxicology testing sought to find if date rape drugs such as Rohypnol ketamine & gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) were in Ms. Jenkins' system. None were found. The toxicology testing found alcholo, caffeine, and the epilepsy/ migraine medication topiramate in Ms. Jenkins system.
She was struggle to fight her killer due to her hair being messy & her lips was busted, her breast was bitten, & the purple contusion & blood on her ankle, she was sadly believed to be strangle to death but at the end she was a warrior, We must have to stand with her to help fight the battle for her & gets the right justice that she deserved.
She was bright, attractive, & had a beautiful smile & dimples, her killer would be brought to justice. She will be love & missed so dearly by her real friends who love her the most better than her fake friends & her family too. Kenneka may you rest in paradise with the lord now.
