Kenneka Jenkins is not missing, but parallels are being drawn between her mysterious freezer death and how the FBI investigates high-profile cases involving missing white women.
Jenkins, a black Chicago teenager, was found “frozen solid” inside a storage freezer in an unused kitchen at the 4-star Crowne Plaza O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois on Sunday, Sept. 10.
The FBI declined to get involved when Jenkins’ mother, Teresa Martin, asked the federal agency to step in and take over the investigation after a series of public missteps by the Rosemont Police.
An online petition pressuring the Rosemont Police to give the case to the FBI has collected over 36,000 signatures as of Friday morning, but the Rosemont police chief has refused to request the federal agency’s assistance.
It is impossible to ignore “the white woman syndrome” that compels the FBI to hastily intervene in high-profile cases involving the deaths of white women.
In one rare exception, the feds investigated the jail death of Sandra Bland in 2015. But, as News One points out, the feds have a habit of ignoring cases involving deaths of black women regardless of the circumstances.
via News One — The “missing White woman syndrome” phenomena was validated by a sociologist and crime expert at Northwestern University who told NPR’s Gene Demby that “White women were much more likely to be the subject of news coverage relative to their proportions among missing persons, and women in general, were significantly more likely than men to be covered.”
When the FBI joins a local police force’s investigation, they offer more resources and have access to better technology and labs than the local police department.
The FBI recently completed its investigation into the case of Rita Maze, a Montana woman who was found shot dead in the trunk of her car in Spokane, Washington on September 6, 2016.
The FBI determined that Maze died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after frantically calling her family and saying she had been abducted from a gas station.
Like Jenkins, Maze died alone under mysterious circumstances. But unlike Jenkins, Maze was white.
Didn’t know there was an actual name.
Nothing has sensationalized as Jon Benet Ramsey or Natalie Holloway
They did take the time to look into Tierra Bryant, a 19-year-old black woman
My hope is her mother keeps pushing until she is satisfied.
Those girls were murdered , baby girl died because of unfortunate circumstances .
SR , aka Auntie , aka, the black British who thinks she is better than AA’s;
Stop trying to make blacks angry , we know you are a wigger .
Love .
Sahara.
…as well as Caylee Anthony.
Was Rita Mazer the one who told her family she was kidnapped by a black man, or dark-skinned native American?
OMG there is nothing to investigate.
https://www.google.com/amp/chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/09/20/body-found-health-club-bathroom-stall/amp/
Sue establishments , nothing to see here.
1. We know White lives matter more than Black lives. Surprise, surprise.
2. I watch Investigation Discovery (however, I knew this before) a lot and noticed that when White women are missing, the families MAKE the media pay attention. They blow up news stations until they act.
3. In the words of Michael Jackson, “They don’t really care about us.”
Why didn’t her family go look for her? She wasn’t at 24 hour fitness?! But her family is still going to get paid!
Each time I’ve been to London, most of the black folks over there are OK but some, when they realized I was American, you could just see a cloud go over their face. Bitter as hell.
True in her case , like I stated days ago , my lady cop ( sprite) told me than if she was white they would have looked for her sooner , she also told me that the 24/48 hour wait to report a missing person is old news , depending on who it is , it can be done pronto .
She also said that baby girl’s death is a total accident , there is nothing to see here but leave it to SM investigators to solve her death smh .
Her mom will never be the same , she lost her heart , she should at least wipe her tears with hundred dollar billls ( if she can ) .
I think black folks ruined it for Kenneka by putting all kinds of scenarios on social media and her being black.
She is an older woman , she lived alone , i don’t talk to my mom every day so.. a day and a half could go unnoticeable .
Absolutely !!!!!
Police are chasing ghetto leads instead of focusing on the real shit , it’s maddening .
By her being older someone should of checked her regularly. IMO
Yeah … AA are viewed as ghetto in general in the black British tiny eyes , but they are the ones living in the real ghetto and milking their Gov .
Any who , a case black people being racist , SR doesn’t help the cause .
Auntie ; I love your evil old butt but what are you doing here ?
I agree with you but you know them white chirren , they put their parent in hospice when they move out ?
I believe everything you wrote. I believe the kitchen/freezer should’ve never been accessible by the public. That’s where I hold the hotel at fault. I’m still not clear about this young lady’s story. I think her friends should not have left her in the hotel lobby by herself. Somethings very fishy to me.
I saw the runaway bride doc last night and was shocked by all the resources used to find one woman. One woman who lied to authorities and only got restitution. The only thing I could think about was how many Black women to missing every year without media attention.
I’m going to talk to my Black friend, who is married to a White British guy from London. She visited England and loved it. I’m going to ask her what her experience was with the Black British. I didn’t know they had issues with Black Americans, but then again, many foreign Blacks think their ish don’t stink, so I’m not surprised.
Oh her shitty ” friends ” are being charged , this is Illinois, they will be gone but baby girl is dead , mom is in the denial phase , she will get some money hopefully , but toxicology won’t look good , so…
Yes, I saw that too! I get so sick of the “missing/dead White women” stories. They always seem to have sympathy and make excuses for White women when they do dumb stuff. It’s been talked about for years about how the media couldn’t care less about missing Black women. They also don’t give attention to men either.
Sigh. SMH. It’s was all so senseless. Yeah, I don’t know if Mom will ever get over it. I feel so sad for her.
To be fair , it’s many many black girls but also , based on me watching the ID Chanel all the time , a lot of white girls also , especially from the Midwest , they call it a cold case as soon as the second lead fails .
Very unfortunate .
Yes they will get paid, they didn’t find it odd that the restroom was constantly “in use”?
Her being black and from Chicago is why she’s not being taken seriously. The social media investigating maybe the only real investigation. They care.
My friend met her husband on a flight to London , he was the pilot. He absolutely worships the ground she walks in .
I was talking in general , British men is the way to go , look at Miss berry lol
She is talking about the article above that I posted .
I was born in Houston but grew up in London until last year when I moved back to the US. I’m not AA, I’m Afro-Caribbean but I can say that from a ‘black British’ view I guess since I’m a dual citizen and grew up around other black British kids, is that the view we have of African Americans is that they’re just ghetto and overly aggressive. The culture and behavior is just too much which is why I guess some black brit’s feel they’re better than them. The brits will say at least they know where they come from because most black British people in the U.K. are second generation immigrants, their parents came straight from Africa or the Caribbean or wherever and they were just born there so they have stronger cultural values whereas they would argue and African American can’t say the same. It’s a thing of there being a culture/behavior clash
And what’s the conclusion from SM ?
Thank you ! That proves what I stated .
I have no clue. But sm has a way of drawing attention to matters that would normally not get any attention by the others.
Me too , I will commit suicide if my daughter is dead and I don’t know why .
They didn’t let popo do their job , instead on focusing on real stuff , they spent time and money on Facebook .
I hear ya, and I’d feel like doing the same thing. I couldn’t imagine!
I don’t know about all the “conspiracy theories” on this case… but I do NOT believe that this girl walked into a freezer, and allowed herself to freeze to death.
Well a toddler was involved and Casey her lying on everyone to include Disney…
Ok, I’m about sick and tired of the mother. Wait until the toxicology report is in.
I have slept in a bath tub before because I was dead wasted and it felt cool , I was alone , I woke up in the morning ashamed of myself but these things do happen .
Unless CIA, FBI and NSA have proof, no matter whom you know. No one can say 100 percent what happened to this young lady.
Even if they release 48 hours long tapes , people made their minds up ( altered ) , I wish you knew how much they want to solve her case , they want to be heroes but they can NOT , nothing there .
I find that photo shopped picture so disrespectful. Smh
Have the autopsy been released? How do you know she wasn’t murdered?
Drunk and laced weed .
Thank you for your insight, Shanese. The thing that gets me is that everyone wants to talk sideways about American Blacks and look their noses down on us, but they don’t hesitate to copy our style.
They do have stronger cultural values. They have country, culture, language and customs that Black Americans don’t have. I have a friend whose mother is Cape Verdian and father, British. She can go to New England and interact with Cape Verdians because their neighborhoods have not been gentrified. They have parades and restaurants, and since she speaks Portuguese, they communicate. She’s currently living in Canada near her British side of the family. I will say that American Blacks have innovations of our own that people all over the world use and imitate, including them, so they need to get off their little arrogant soapboxes.
but fbi would get involved in a white man missing jersey
Girl, I think my friend would agree with you! ??? She said British men have something that American men lack. She said if something ever happened in her relationship, she’d never date an American man.
I think people hate Casey as much as they do O.J.
Me too! Just happy I didn’t Whitney Houston (drowned)
You do realize that these negative stereotypes of black people are based on the actions of a small few, systematic discrimination, and social conditioning. People all over the world have been taught to hate Black and to lump us all in one box. For black people of other nations to also adopt that same mentality that has other cultures looking down on blacks, specifically African Americans does absolutely nothing to uplift black people as a whole. This is why we say BLM
You’re so right. They are White supremacists. I never thought of it that way, but I should’ve. People of all nations have been brainwashed to think Black people (including these ignorant foreigners) are beneath them.
Amen! Stop the stereotyping and uplift each other instead… I know far more successful and morally upright black people than I know ghetto acting ones. I know of plenty solid black families that are not dysfunctional…because I personally see examples daily I know that there are others who see the same. The ratchets are a very small minority of black people…I’m tired of being put in a box
The mental stability in this room…,
Aw what you wrote is sad but I beg to defer .
Black for me is passion and beauty , I don’t view AA like that , Wissam doesn’t view blacks like that either .
I’m going to hide before I’m called a bitch and the fav word honey ; Edomite lmao .
Kisses
I think the extreme stuff happens in the Midwest because law enforcement doesn’t have the resources to investigate. Although TV shows aren’t real, I remember on Howard Rollins show where he was trying to educate the other officers about using a basic computer. This was the late 80’s and computers were everywhere. There may be some backwoods cities where only one officer knows about forensics.
Me too! My sister and I were talking about the caricatures they show about us are NOTHING like the way we are. Yes, I said that the other day about seeing good strong Black families, intact, than not, and those men are not cheaters either! I’m tired too, and I’ve been saying that for years! Not only do others put us in a box, we many of us do it ourselves. Many of us are self-loathing/hating. Malcolm X said (paraphrasing), “Who taught you to see yourself like this?” There are some of us you can’t convince are good, law-abiding, strong, family-oriented people because they believe the lies they see in the media and aren’t exposed to the other side.
I really don’t agree , maybe because I didn’t grow up in a white nation .
Black women mesmirise me , so much Beauty and class .
Don’t believe the hype , look at Wissam . He could have married anybody ( he’s not the only one ) he opted for a beautiful black girl .
Think about it .
Chiiiiiile! Don’t get me started.
Exactly !!!! I’m not going to act like mother Theresa now .
Right ? Wtf? My shit stinks and stinks bad
Doesnt matter she will say someone forced her to drink more or smoke or pop pills bcuz her child wouldnt do such a thing ? I think the mom just wants this to turn into a huge movement..trayvon martin, eric garner etc… but im sorry & dont bash me but i think she was jus drunk & lost her way..i believe she has been drunk like this b4 bcuz on her own live chats her & her friend says they wanna get drunk to the point they dont rem… ppl believe someone did it to her due to the 1st lies about seeing her & hearing her thru sum shades…her friends should have nvr left her…they are protesting every day for her justice & going hard too…if only they went this hard for her when she was alive..also this is chicago, if they wanted to cover up anything they woulda picked any dude & pinned him & called it a day
It’s good that you don’t view black people in a negative light or make negative blanket statements about AA people. Not everyone falls for the bait but too many do and that’s why it’s so hard for people of color to get ahead now. Some people can still embrace their blackness and not run from it or feel the need to separate themselves as one of the “upper echelon black people”.
How do we know that , they didn’t let popo do their job? How do we know the popo was going to do anything until there was pressure from sm? They have been using sm to solve crimes for the past few years now and facebook is free so no money was spent. So there is no real excuse. Facts are facts and little black girls don’t make the news without a full court press.
Gurl i done sum crazy things young & drunk…when u get drunk at times u get to a “i dont care” stage…invinceable
This blog is not here to uplift or show blacks in a good light. I found that out a long time ago. There are plenty of other pictures of this woman but that one up top seems to be the one Sandra loves.
Very accurate, hundreds of white women and some black women go missing especially is Ohio , cold cases of course but it saddens me .
Unless that black man was really handsome, had a 4.0 GPA, was a star athlete in college, has a Master’s or greater, volunteered to help the elderly or disabled people in their area, and belonged to a megachurch with strong political ties.
Are you referring to Janet’s estranged husband … the one who called her bitches every day??
Oh, I have thought about it. Let me be clear: I’m not saying everyone feels a certain way about Black people, but many (more than I’d like to admit) do. White supremacy is a thing all over the world. Are their individuals who see sisters as beautiful or classy? Sure, but many see, ignorantly enough, see us as ghetto, baby mamas, welfare queen, criticize us about our hair, and the list goes on and on.
According to Janet, Wissam didn’t value her; thus, they are separated.
Oh no!
Exactly! From seeing her in the shades, from hearing her..they ppl acting like they were at the party smh
A made up one
whats wrong with it?
MJ invincible , even he is rip
All of this!! Keep doing your part to break down those stereotypes sis. The more we talk about it the bigger possibility of people changing their way of thinking.
I can tell you a story that changed my life forever if you start lmbo
…and even then ?
And that’s ok , I respect every opinion .
Do tell!
& they saw all these images of ppl in the kitchen but police didnt see it tho its allll over social media but still no action? Usually celebrities c this & jump on it..:not one celebrity spoke on this
LMAO so true
Of course I know that. I wasn’t saying I agree with it, I was just being honest by explaining the mindset most black British folks have when it comes to African Americans since I have lived it and I observed both cultures because I spent time growing up in London and I’ve also been back in the states for over a year now and I’m in my early 20s so I’m talking from a youth perspective also. I was being honest when I say African people and Caribbean people do not view African Americans as one of them because they’re seen as too abrasive, ghetto, loud and lack culture. African and Caribbean people are closer to each other, and African Americans are just blacks in their own world. That’s the mentality black brits and people in Africa and the Caribbean have of African Americans for the most part. It’s how most of us trained to think, you’ll find when we’re around African Americans we’re extremely reserved. Again, due to how we’re conditioned
And that’s ok , we have something called stupid criminals and that’s why popo use those leads .
In this case , after they exhausted all their powers , there a nothing to see people , like I said before , I’ve made worse shit than baby girl, she didn’t get lucky that’s all.
Yes i believe that as well..they can be liable for not making things more secure or safe…a kid could have done what she did…kids are curious..but i dont believe in any foul play…except for them “friends” leaving her…thats y her friends are now protesting…they feel guilty & need someone to blame
Black women/girls have never been a priority in America.No one has ever held Black women down.
Or married/dating other
She got over $20,000 in go fund me, hotel is paying for funeral svcs( maybe lawsuit too) & she is also selling shirts to honor her daughter
Popo hadnt done their job. Rhey just lied. Thats not really a job
Exactly!
That’s the same reason people are afraid to even be muslims , people are conditioned to think Islam is terror and the worst thing that could even happen to a woman .
Stereotypes are NOT ok !
Did you see how large that kitchen was. Ive never been in an industrial kitchen like that but i jave NEVER seen a kitchen thay big. It sounded like that kitchen had like 5 kitchens within itself.
Omg yess!!! They would rather accept a horrific crime instead of the truth!! What if she would have drove him that drunk & crashed who would be the blame?
Bcuz u can see her go rite to where the freezer is & nvr come out…its a dead end..no where else to go
you are more right than you know. a large portion blacks in america have adopted a hip hop whore thug culture.and its dangerous with neighborhoods ghetto fried..and even in the suburbs you hear about black kids doing hood crimes
True .
Miss Janet had 5 freaking years , he didn’t become a monster the last 9 months of that period , she has issues. He’s a cool dude , of the rumors were true , she wouldn’t even be here holding her kid , I say that because I know the laws over there .
So why do u come to her page? U must like something
I hope you don’t believe that , the Jackson family is a big deal over there , MJ spent a great deal
Of his life over there , most of the young Jackson fam converted to Islam , it’s a shame they are using people .
This is no surprise, we are hundreds of years removed from slavery, which is not very long. Black people were not included in the Consitution, so we have take care of our kids. As a parent you have to really make sure you know, what is going on in their lives. This world is not a pretty place, especially for black people. May she Rest In Peace, and the family find out what happened.
I ve known people like that , that’s on them , I thank my parents for giving me a passport and money and set me free . You can NOT be ignorant when you travel and see the world .
I appreciate you .
Thank you for explaining that , I get it now.
You are young and wise and think out of the box .
Unfortunately , many won’t .
Being a Berber and African , I find that it’s easier to talk to an AA that to a white person , ill explain .
Blacks love stories about the motherland , the culture and all that comes with it , they also are respectful.
Sprites acts fake interested and always end up stabbing you in the groin , my bff is white but her mother hates me because I’m not Swedish or polish .
Moral of my story, I’ll trust a black homeless man before a white doctor .
Sorry , driving and typing and thoughts all over the place.
Yes, please do tell!
Ok , we shall see .
Someone has to start first .
Good for her ! I hope she doesn’t give it to her church .
Yes, I sure did see it. It was huge, and that’s why I don’t understand how it couldn’t have been off limits. No one, except staff, should have access. SMH.
Yes, they should be liable for that. Her “friends” should feel guilty. That was just wrong.
Republican and hates black people .
Worst thing you can do as a woman is limit yourself .
Moooore! OJ is fine , that bitch is not !
It was released but not to me , trust and believe if the coroner found out she was murdered , the FBI would have been involved .
We , here in Chicago and the whole state want to know
Dead ??
I’ll never forget going to a hospital where my brother-in-law was a patient and getting into an elevator with either Africans or Haitians, and they were talking in their language and I can tell they were talking about me. When I got off the elevator, they started laughing. They were very aloof. Another time, I was in the grocery story and there were several African women standing in front of the meat area, and I said, in a nice voice, “Excuse me,” and one of those heffas rolled her eyes and huffed like I was asking her to give me her first born.
Wow! I love to get insight from those in the mix. Very interesting.
I wish the FBI would put a taskforce together to investigate the disappearance of black women from the DMV area. And possibly creating a unit in every state. FBI has field offices in every state and the number of black women disappearing is growing. It’s like they drop of the face of the earth. And no one puts any effort into looking for them to find out if there is any foul play like human trafficking.
Hmmm. ?
NEVER, Casey is still white.
Well since you have inside scoop, let us know when they release everything to the public and why wouldn’t the FBI did not get involved.
This is a shame. We pay the samee taxes as others but are treated differently..
Oh honey ! I’ll take the freezer scenario over a horrific crash .
I explained why the FBI won’t get involved , no murder no investigation .
But can’t convince people !
My apologies, I can’t read every single post.
They still looking for Natalee Holloway….just sayin’. Hell they still looking for Amelia Earhart…
I agree. Here in Atlanta and I know, personally, a total of three women who have vanished without a single trace. They left their kids and are gone. No trail. The longest has been missing for nearly 20 years. She was a friend of my moms who adored her kids.
I believe it but sadly it doesn’t surprise me.
1865, so only 152 years which is very short when we think about it. These folks don’t give a damn about us
I feel this case will never be solved. Too many people on social media/you tube speculating has hindered this case. It’s a damn shame no one seems to know what happened to this teenager. All of the wandering around and stumbling and no one went to help her!!!
Everything can’t be made into a race issue. This is not a missing person’s case. The article should talk about how many times the FBI have investigated someone’s death at the request of a grief stricken distraught parent who refused to accept the conclusions of local law enforcement. If there is nothing to indicate that law enforcement – which is under federal jurisdiction – is obstructing the investigation or hiding something, the FBI don’t get involved. They only get involved in missing person’s cases if it is suspected that they cross state lines.
People need to let this girl rest in peace, and the internet theorists need to let this GOOOO!
It’s ok , we , at the end of the day want the mother to have closure (impossible when you child dies ) .
I’m not here trying to contradict people for fun , I’m preparing us for the truth .
Heart still aching .
Black lives don’t matter to other black people so why would one assume that the FBI or any other LE agency would give a damn.
Kenneka was missing for over 24 hours until her body was found. If you want to get technical, Rita Maze wasn’t a missing person’s case either. But the FBI investigated her death.
The FBI doesn’t investigate dead drunk girls who lock themselves in freezers and local police departments aren’t subordinate to the FBI.
Rita Maze’s case had a different set of circumstances. She was reportedly abducted and she was found shot to death in the trunk of her car. The FBI investigates carjackings, kidnappings, and violent robberies. All of which, could have been contributing factors in Maze’s case.
Maybe we should create a federal agency that holds ineffective parents accountable when their children act irresponsibly and contribute to their own deaths.
They investigated Rita Maze because it was a suspected interstate kidnapping because her credit cards were used in Idaho. They did not ask the FBI to investigate Kenneka Jenkins when they thought she was missing, but after she was found because the mother doesn’t want to accept that no foul play is involved with her daughter’s death.
This has nothing to do with the FBI’s alleged apathy toward supposed crimes committed against black citizens. This is a matter of legal jurisdiction and the lack of certain criterion that warrants the FBI’s involvement.
No disrespect but I just wanted to say that I looked at various pics of her. And there are a large majority of them that I think don’t need to be circulated. I know your addressing the way the pic above is put together. If she used one of those pics that I said don’t need to be circulated I might hv asked questioned the choice of pic. But this format is done quite often. I can give you about 50. I would like to know why and what you find disrespectful.
I appreciate your honesty about the viewpoints and hope you spread the word to your friends and family to neglect those thoughts and break that cycle of being conditioned to think negatively of African Americans. Our black skin will always connect us regardless of the country we live in
Those were her own reports for the split….it happens everyday so I didn’t doubt for a minute that it happened. IJS they are splitting soon after being married so there had to be some form of dysfunction present. I admire Janet for knowing she is worthy of a better type of love. So many women put up with mental and emotional abuse. She spoke on it and I respect her for doing so. No woman should ever have to be in a relationship with a mate who makes them feel less than or unworthy (no matter the race, culture, or religion)
Idk about them converting to Muslim all I know is that the original family were raised as Jehovah’s Witnesses (Prince was also a JW)
I fell asleep standing up and then next thing I know I’m falling hit the floor and could hv hit my head and died. I hv done that 3 times. I was so tired I use to work the night shift and just nodded off and BAM!! My mom running saying “What was that? Are you o. k.? Did you just fall? Still groggy I’m like I’m o. k. I just dropped something.. lol Just recently I had insomnia so I took ambien. I got up went downstairs got 2 cupcakes got back in the bed next morning cupcakes we’re everywhere in my hair and I still had one in my hand. My dog woke me up because he was licking on my hand I jumped up like WTH?? Whenever I take ambien there I always wake up and do something like eating gummy bears and again gummy bears everywhere. So under the influence under certain drugs I think psychosis is possible. My post is already past the allotted minimum.. lol but Ive had psychosis from lack of sleep 3 days straight and it was scary I went home for a visit and if they weren’t there it could hv ended bad. I got dressed did my hair and told them I was going to pick up my aunt. I did more but trust me the mind is complex and it is possible. Think about how people act on PCP.
??Lol Amelia Earhart…I know you at least 35!
I remember that they had all day coverage and then they find her ass. She didn’t even get in serious trouble did she? The girl on YouTube everyone said was being held against her will and forced to make videos and was secretly asking for help.
Wow,something is definitely odd about that.
Many Black people don’t want to believe this, but there had been numerous Black serial killers.They get away with it because no one care about Blacks, especially when the victims are Black women/girls.
This is true. However, why is this, is the million dollar question? It boils down to social economic issues in my opinion. If you take a pack of wolves, put them in an unknown habitat without resources, eventually they will turn on each other, and that is what has happen to our communities, and lets not forget the house ninjas, who would sell their mother up the river, for a slice of the white bread. SMH!
is there an illinois bureau of investigation? perhaps they can review the facts and evidence.
no evidence of murder, no evidence of rape, no evidence she was removed from the premises against her will, no evidence that any of her rights were violated, and an inconclusive autopsy. the family is going to have to hire a private investigator to uncover additional evidence and pursue any leads they are concerned about.
I think human trafficking is behind alot of these missing girls. There is so much money someone can make by selling off these girls. And organ trafficking I was watching a program about the blackmart selling & buying elaborate setups praying on homeless and runaways. One acted as a safe haven and fed them, let them clean up. Had a “doc” that they said was there to make sure your healthy and would dispense any meds they needed for free. Told they all should hv TB shots and physicals and would win their trust but they we’re really screening to find out the health of them
i don’t think anybody hindered anything in terms of the investigation. what i do believe is, because her friends didn’t speak up and tell the story (i.e, she left the room with me, i peeled off with my boo, she went that way, and blah blah blah and this is how i wound up at her house with her keys), folk came to their own conclusions and the family actually believes these conclusions. social media did what it do. d*mn near got some folk kilt.
i think natalee is a sex slave somewhere.
it’s gonna show what we all know–drunk and perhaps high.
can you believe that she walked into complete darkness and unfamiliarity and didn’t have the capacity, in her state, to find the button or handle get get back out? i’ve been drunk and walking and talking (shyt) and folk had to tell me what i did and said the next day. she was walking but she wasn’t really aware.
Yes, but the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, also known as, BCI, is responsible for investigating revenue related offenses, e.g., tax fraud or tax evasion.
At this point, the family’s only recourse is to file a lawsuit.
i was trying to get some ambien and the doctor said they try not to prescribe that shyt.
This is why I give ZERO FUCKS when a cave bitch is missing. If you don’t look like me don’t expect any sympathy from me. I have no tears for OTHERS. Fuk that!
Whenever a cave broad goes missing I assume they killed themself , someone in their family killed them or they got eaten or died doing dumb shit.
Dooi
Please stop crying wolf….there are black people who really need the help/involvement of the FBI. I’m sorry but this just isn’t one of those cases!
The only thing that divides us all is a ship. While I won’t deny that the cultures are different we have all been conditioned to think one way or another about each other. Same way a Caribbean won’t like an African American, an African American out there won’t like an African and think so little of them because of the mentality that Africans live in mud houses and ride elephants to work. Mentality is what divides us all too
??
?? the problem is she has been getting drunk for a while! Its all on her live videos on fb…she wasnt innocent..she was making bad choices b4 this!
& thats if they dont come back saying she wasnt even a guest & was under age drinking
Yes there is a disconnect. With Africans, they’ll just think African Americans are confused. Aggressive, uncultured and ghetto, they don’t have a place to belong but Africans will take in the fact they know where they come from and that Africans are too proud. African Americans then will also have that mentality that Africans are the real nyggers with an i and that they’re poor and live in very poor places when Africa is very resourced and unlike what is displayed on tv with the 50 cents a day kids. I’ve seen places in Africa, prettier than the U.K. That’s where the arrogance can come from on the African side. Truth be told the same discrimination runs within Africans as well, the tribalistic ones. My ex boyfriend/and father of my current unborn baby is Nigerian and his mom completely flipped once she saw things were getting serious and then especially when the pregnancy news got to her. Mind you I’m half Ghanaian and Jamaican. And my friend went through similar, she was a fellow Nigerian though this time like her ex/baby daddy, just a different tribe and treated like crap. Black people are just extremely divided as a whole and I always say we are our own worst enemy. Who needs racists from whites when we are already so divided.
Sorry you went through that however. Like I said before, only thing that divides us is a ship and a mentality that is full of priee
Since this happened do u kno how much black on black crime happened in chicago. So many shoot outs daily. Where is the protest to stop?! To come together?!
Yes let her rest!
But it is solved ?
There are all types of serial killers..ppl pick & choose what to believe now a days
??
The FBI should only get involved after a local agency has completed it’s investigation and the findings were inconclusive. I don’t see a reason for the FBI to get involved in this particular case. However, I do agree that white woman syndrome is very real.
Same with North Korea ..same with Syria… If you see how the ghettos and projects came to be as well as blacks being denied home loans and opportunities as well you will see why crime is so prevelent in poorer areas

I wonder if Kenneka’s mother has a life insurance policy on her daughter. If Kenneka’s death is ruled an accident, brought on by her own negligence, there probably won’t be a payout. The same goes for a wrongful death lawsuit.
A successful wrongful death case has to show a link between the injured party’s death and the so-called negligence of the defendant. What if Kenneka died from an overdose or alcohol poisoning and the freezer didn’t kill her?
If the autopsy is inconclusive and toxicology report indicates Kenneka had dangerous levels of whatever caused her apparent intoxication, her family can kiss their chances of winning a wrongful death lawsuit, goodbye.
Maybe this explains why the mother’s lawyers were apparently lying about the hotel’s refusal to release the entire footage. Maybe they wanted to create an atmosphere of suspicion, in hopes that the FBI would get involved and somehow turn this case into something it is not.
so sad!
It’s going to be difficult to sue the hotel, if Kenneka was involved in criminal activity.
Yes, and if you know that, the hotel’s lawyers know that, too.
the FBI figured they don’t have to get involved since so many MF’s on the internet already solved the case. Case closed heauxs
bwahahhaha. Everyone Matlock the faux out this story though!
You’re done! loolol
Major disconnect. I used to date this Nigerian guy and I remember him telling me about going to a certain part of the city and hearing Black music blasting from someone’s window and the occupants of that music hanging out the window talking to someone downstairs on the lawn. He said, “You see, in Nigeria, you wouldn’t see that!” I’m like b.s.! To be honest, I believe White supremacy has pit people against one another: light vs. dark in many nations like India, Mexico, many African countries, the Carribean, etc., who bleach their skin and the Chinese that spend millions to “westernize” themselves. Many of them are just as ignorant as racist White folks who think Blacks didn’t create anything, all the while, they attribute everything we’ve done to themselves. I’ve always said that Africans (not all) can be the biggest Uncle Tom’s ever always chasing after White folks and their women. I’ve seen it all too many times UNTIL they get a wake-up call and they realize that racists see them as N’s just like the rest of us. I believe you about tribal discrimination. I feel that’s why many Black people have attitudes towards other Blacks. Yes, many of us are divided, but most of us are together. The reason we are divided is because of White supremacy. Malcolm X said, “Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the color of your skin? To such extent, you bleach, to get like the white man. Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet? Who taught you to hate your own kind? Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to so much so that you don’t want to be around each other? No… Before you come asking Mr. Muhammad does he teach hate, you should ask yourself who taught you to hate being what God made you.” Trust me, in my opinion, we are not our own worst enemy. Our enemy has the ability to shot and kill us and walk away without punishment. That’s our enemy. The enemy is an infrastructure set up (criminal justice, education, housing, employment, etc.) set up to work on behave of the White man. Many of us have no idea the connections they have and how they keep others our the loop. They are our worst enemies.
Have you seen OJ lately? Lol! She definitely isn’t!
Truth.
Black women cannot afford to limit ourselves.
From what I’ve learned and gone through myself, unless you die from natural causes, the insurance company will try NOT to pay. They still might pay, but not right away. If you get murdered, commit suicide, go missing, are declared legally dead with no body, expect the insurance company to investigate and don’t expect any money any time soon if you ever get it at all. And if you kill yourself, most insurance companies will pay, but you have to kill yourself I think a year or two AFTER the insurance policy was taken out. Insurance is a dirty business just like entertainment. SMDH!
Okay!
Yup but to make things a lil “easier” or to avoid more protest they may pay out
Trust me i live in a high crime area & we are the ones who kill each other & nvr tell cuz no one wants to be a “snitch” & then we will post “free mike” knowing he jus killed someone son for no reason…we kee shut when we see that stuff bcuz we dont want to get involved. We do it to ourselves…i have a 23yr old & at 19 i knew where my child was & i made sure i had friends #’s & i would call all of them. U think i cared if he was embarrased??? Nope! I wanna kno whats goin on..parents these days give their children too much freedom…16 isnt grown & neither is 18. U dont know much
????
Revised it & all!
& i havent seen that lawyer speak anymore..what happened to him?? Did he leave it alone?
I dont think she had life ins..she was raising money for funeral…after the hotel offered to pay..she has made about 25,000 so far
Honestly, I completely agree with everything you’ve said here. It’s sad to say the Jim Crow effect has taken place successfully and still manifests in society today, even within Africans. I’ve never understood the black men who coon for white women, as if to say these aren’t the same women who scream rape to consensual sex and get these black men sent to jail and even killed like in Emmitt Till’s case, who only said hi to the woman! I’ve even seen cases of young African men marrying old white women for visa and status. I would normally laugh and make green card jokes whenever pictures like that would emerge on twitter or something, but when you think about it, it’s disgusting. And young black African women do it with older white men too. The mentality of today is very poisoned and humanity is more divided than ever even among our own.
You are making assumptions stating I do not know very much which pretty much makes your whole paragraph invalid. You are stating experiences specific to you as well as continuing the narrative of black on black crime. I feel sorry for you that YOU live in a high crime area, sucks for you but there is a bigger world out there.
Not surprisingly, the Bureau of Justice Statistics shows that most people who are victims of violent crime are victimized by someone they know. In fact, almost every study ever done shows that crime is a socioeconomic phenomenon. Another Bureau of Justice Statistics report explicitly states that between 2008 and 2012, “Poor urban blacks (51.3 per 1,000) had rates of violence similar to poor urban whites (56.4 per 1,000).”
There is no such thing as “black-on-black crime”—just crime.
That’s right. White people kill white people. Black people kill black people. I know what you’re thinking: Yes, but black people do so disproportionately. You’re right—even though white people commit most violent crimes (which means that because of the raw numbers, if we had a choice between eliminating white-on-white crime or black-on-black crime, confronting white-on-white crime would pay far greater dividends).
So, my unmelanated friends, maybe the question should be: Why are so many more blacks poor?
There is a definitive answer. Either the black people who worked for free to build this country, and on whose knowledge all Western mathematics, astronomy and science rest, are genetically lazier and dumber, or, alternatively, it is the result of systemic discrimination in financing, unequal employment, disparities in home lending, segregation in education, and the fact that every law, opportunity and constitutional right was not available to black people until 50 years ago
Black people don’t like crime, either. “Stop the violence” has been a chorus sung in black communities since KRS-One made “Self Destruction” in 1989, and no, KRS-One is not one of the lesser-known robots from the Star Wars movies. Just trust me, we’ve been singing, rapping, marching, protesting and holding vigils against violence in black communities for years. The number of people of color working against crime in black neighborhoods far outnumbers the people involved in Black Lives Matter.
Yeah…if he’s rugged fine like Idris Elba maybe not but a pretty boy like Michael ealy, most likely.
So many foreign men look at black women lome magic , Germans take the lead , sicilians will marry an average ( no suck a thing in my eye ) black woman before they do a white supermodel .
Etc etc …..
OJ is sexy to me and yes I’ve seen him recently , baby killer is just that , she used to be somewhat ok looking but all I see now is Satan walking .
I can not believe this is America !
I do agree with you statement but !…
Can you imagine if our parents had to pay for the senseless mediocre choices we made as young adults ?
My parents , although far away since I was 17 years old would be serving life honey or in death row .
She indeed was a hotel guest who made bad choices like we all make or made before .
My reference to illegal activity, stems from the possibility that her impaired condition may have been the result of the illegal consumption of alcohol and (or) drugs.
If the toxicology report indicates Kenneka had a date-rape drug in her system, that may turn the investigation on its head. If she was simply drunk or high on a substance that was self-administered and her self-induced state of impairment is a contributing factor in her death, that certainly lessons the hotel’s culpability in this case.
Trust me i know i grew up in that i love that! But im speaking on what i have seen myself, i know ppl who will nvr tell who killed who bcuz its the street code..my point is it starts from within the community to change, not when someone gets murdered
No i never assumed u didnt know, im stating what i have seen in MY town..dont get me wrong crime is everywhere & yes white ppl as well commit crimes against each other, hispanics etc..i was basing my opinion on things i have seen myself & we are mostly black or hispanic here & from the looks of it that area of chicago is the same
Chile…you and them polished nails…????
He needs to be quiet especially since he lied There is no footage of Kenneka walking into the freezer is what’s being reported Why did he say there was?
Lol! To each his/her own. Yes, she is Satan walking and she got away with murder. Can’t stand the cow.
Interesting.
Uh huh.
I agree 100%. It’s sick. The brainwashing and such many Africans have. What gets me, and I’ve seen this over and over again, is those brainwashed, whitewashed Negroes will allow a White woman to treat him like crap and he’ll go back for more, but if a Black woman does something, he’s done. It’s a major psychosis they have. I’ve also heard of those Mandingo parties too. Yes, poison and divided. It’s sick and I don’t know if anything will change.
??? thats my no comment lol
No that was the activist, i mean the lawyer she got who was on the news with her.
Are you extremely retarded…… the girl is 19 which classifies her as an adult moron.
This has nothing to do with parenting….smh
You seem like a smart guy UMMM maybe…. and maybe you didn’t look at all the allege snippets of video that the hotel deceptively gave. Look how most drunk people walk and compare…
This is not a race issue…. but due to it being a an urban case you gotta think how serious is this case being taken.
Insensitive individuals… I think some you need the same thing happen to you. This is a serious incident taken lightly.
Now why would you post a picture like that for (fight the power/ black is strong?) this is not a race issue. We are weak as a people no wonder there so much conflict)
I do sympathize with the lost of Kenneka’s mother, I do believe that this case is not being taken serious at all… there is no urgency at all. Local law enforcement is not being supportive at all due to the connections and political affairs. Question, who is the owner of the Hotel and there you will find your answers why.
I never made a definitive statement regarding what caused her obviously impaired state of mind. I said, “If she was simply drunk or high on a substance that was self-administered…” Are you asserting that Kenneka wasn’t drunk, simply because of the way she was walking?
Negative I’m saying she was drugged…..cannabis or alcohol don’t do that… and yes she was definitely drinking….
The footage released to the public was unfortunately altered… not in one occurrence but multiple occurrences…. Jus terrible editing
Serious by whom? I think it is being taken seriously, especially on the internet. It was investigated by law enforcememt, has had major news coverage beyond Chicago, and the blogs have beat this story to death. Our community wants to turn every young black person who dies into the next Trayvon Martin, hashtag or a cause. I’m sad for Kenneka, I’m sad for her mom who just wants some peace and some closure. But trying to find a person to blame won’t give her that closure. And the blogs and internet continuing to speculate and add new unfounded theories everyday won’t allow that closure either.
I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, especially if you only say that because someone has a different opinion from you. My best friend lost her only son this past summer to gun violence for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. His homicide may
never be solved. My heart is broken too – we are close. I have an only child, a 19 year old daughter. So unfortunately I can imagine it. It’s a fear parents live with every day. If something like ever happened to you, you’d understand that the worst thing for you is not find and make peace with something that’s not in your control.
Consumed in extremely large quantities, alcohol alone can do that just by itself. Have you ever been on a college campus on a Saturday night? You’d see that all the time. It absolutely impairs cognitive abilities and motor function. She looked as they say “white girl wasted.”
Thank you for shedding light on this auntie.
The Missing White Woman Syndrome is indeed true. There’s a black woman who’s been missing for well over a year…she has two kids and a husband. They suspected the husband, but they never really pursued them. This happened in Memphis, TN. In another part of Tennessee, there was a white girl who was kidnapped years ago. They found her remains about 3-4 years later and guess what? The murder trial is ALL OVER tv. I honestly believed if they would have grilled the black woman’s husband, they would have gotten the information they were looking for. He was SO nonchalant when he was interviewed by news stations. She was a beautiful black woman, who had a career, lived in a great neighborhood and just wanted to provide for her children. But they didn’t go on a state-wide manhunt for her like they did the white girl. It’s really messed up.
The missing WHITE woman syndrome. Doesn’t anybody else feel like these people who find it necessary to label skin color, as if it matters in first place. Come on. It DOES NOT matter. Completely irrelevant to the problem at hand. Human!! We are all, human. Continuing to use words like this only further divide us. Which is unseen by most, but also planned by many. Imagine a news reporter with a person beside her taking notes. As if he was her assistant. She just went live on the local news channel to report about a mystery murder suicide crossed lovers something like that IDK. You get the picture. Reporting anything to us the audience. And after she states the victim, or rather victim(s). Her assistant interrupts her on live television to ask her if the victim(s) were white or black. You know, for his notes or something? Like everybody would be like Da Fuqqqq???!
For real though. That only feeds racist people ammo to talk shit and be stupid. Who fucking cares about skin color. I get the point you’re making on how it applies to the justice system and I completely agree. But it’s what they want. The media, all of it. Don’t give them ammo. We’re all literally fucking human. Homosapians bro. It’s lit ??
Side note: this shits fucked up. RIP
Guess what the government officials gonna do ….. Absolutely nothing! These case with be swept under the mat and forgotten. And for those who are making a “noticeable” noise in the community they will be
do you even know who is all involved here… do some research of who owns the Hotel and his political and governmental ties.. very interesting stuff…. and then read about the hotel… the media is controlled…. and as far as the internet goes… there’s no associated monitoring …. nothing but drama.. drama that’s confused with speculation and scattered truths.
Who
that is besides that the case…. its about the ability of the high up people controlling the unfortunate because they know they can get away criminal behavior because of who they are…what they represent and who they know
its about the ability of the high profile people control the unfortunate because they know they can get away criminal behavior because of who they are…what they represent and who they know
All this conspiracy and government involvement over one intoxicated girl who died in a freezer in a Chicago suburb? Do you really believe it warrants a governmental and media cover up to this level? Why?
Yes and they do it every single day and I can attest to that!!!!! What can we do to change it. If a black should even think about becoming powerful they are cut off at the knees. So I just wondering?
Here’s what we REALLY need to be addressing..UNDERAGE DRINKING, DRUGGING AND PARTYING!!! That’s the real message here that God is trying to get our attention for this generation…it’s time to address the high rates of drug overdoses, drinking underage and partying in hotels rooms called “kick backs”….it’s time to call a thing a thing as Iyanla says…let’s not miss the real message of this case…”train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it”…yes we all might have been drunk like this but didn’t die, but now God is tired…unfortunately sometimes God has to allow a death to get the attention of the real issue so people can stop especially this generation. They are so disrepectful, so deceitful, liars, and willing to do any and everything under the sun to fit in….God is tired and so am I! Use this as a lesson in the classrooms, universities and everywhere else of HOW NOT TO LIVE at the age of 19! Her reckless ways cost her her life, now it would be a real case if she was shot innocently while going to her college dorm room, but she was UNDERAGE DRINKING and in a hotel room with boys and girls no telling what else was going to transpire! The young are dying more than the old..why do you think that is?? more parents are burying their children why do you think that is? the bible don’t lie…their days are being taken away because of disobedience!
From the looks of it, everybody is investigating her murder. Its all over Youtube…random people testifying and and everything. Her name must be blessed because i’ve never seen this from Chicagoland.
And that happens in every culture. Think of mob culture with Italians and Asians as well. It is not just black code it is street code
But we dont hear about it as much as we do black on black crime & in this culture… do u?
Of course they do not report that narrative. They want people to think black people are savage and heathens. When has the media truly been for black people or people of color. The media is owned and operated by racists. Of course they do not show that. But if you check the news daily you will see white folks killing, chopping, barbecueing their loved ones on a daily….. yahoo news is a start..
Ok i agree but again im speaking from where I AM & how we do it to EACH OTHER. Im not speaking about their culture oe what they do, im speaking about my people that I see in my area who will not snitch due to “street code”…thats all…i read news on a daily basis dont assume, dont go there…we can agree to disagree
I am not assuming anything you made a blanket statement and I am stating facts,.,. You are assuming! You made a blanket and stereotypical statement based off YOUR experience. I am aware of street culture and street code and it affects may cultures based off MY experiences and being able to travel the world and study abroad in several countries.. no snitch isnt just a “black thing” …. point blank….
Yes I hear about it in other cultures. It is happening in China and North Korea right now. Have you checked out the Netflix series Narcos? Mexico and Columbia has been dealing with it for decades…..
Wow i NEVER said it was a black thing! I spoke on MY experience…ive traveled as well & it starts with US! Who else says no snitching? We have it in songs, clothing. Im not downing my people at all. We all can do better, im not worried about other cultures im worried about mine & the future of the youth. Maybe you dont live like how i live lucky u, but this is my backyard & ive seen way too much. An innocent baby killed bcuz they couldnt get the dad so they got the baby..the whole neighborhood knew who did it & being that he was “cool” no one wanted to “snitch” bcuz snitches get stiches…what culture made that up?
Sure i have seen Narcos , but thats not my back yard not my culture
Again the only point is there is no such thing as “black on black crime” point blank…. Your experience is just that! Have a good day!
As I stated “no snitch” started in the Mob Era….. Italian gangsters made it up…… which is why I mentioned the Columbian mafia which had the same “no snitch” way before rap culture….. I get it you ar concerned with YOUr people which is fine, you started this whole conversation with the “black on black” dialogue which I came to correct, there is no such thing. People kill in their demographic. I do not want to see black children or adults murdered either, but I am not going to enforce the white supremist views that we are the only culture murdering one another..
I started it with black on black crime as in that same area of Chicago, that the post was about. And i have been reading the chicago tribune every single day & yes its black on black crime going on in Chicago
Harley, u won ok honey. I wish u nothing but happiness.
Thank boo! Same to you and I pray you can rise above your surroundings and find peace
?.
I agree with you 100%. They still to this day are talking about Jon Benèt Ramsey, Natalie Holloway and Laci Petersen. They even made movies and documentaries about them.
WRONG WRONG WRONG… THE HOTEL IS HIGHLY CONNECTED DO YOUR RESEARCH…. LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BAND FROM IMPEDING.
WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT FRAUD………… INVESTIGATE … CONTINUE TO PROTEST WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THE MOTHER……SHE WASHED HER HANDS OF EVERYTHING INCLUDING HER DAUGHTER LADIES AND GENTS THE MOTHER IS SCRIPTED……….. THEY TOLD HER WHAT TO SAY…. TO GET OUT OF PUBLIC EYE…….. BUT WHAT IF THE PROTEST CONTINUES…. WHATS HAPPENS THEN…… HOTEL WOULD BE UP A FRENZY …DAMN CONSPIRACIES
HOWEVER THERE IS EVIDENCE OF VIDEO TAMPERING… TIME STAMPS HELLO….. FBI SHOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED….BUT THE HOTEL IS CONNECTED
