Surveillance Video Showing Kenneka Jenkins Walking Into Freezer At Crowne Plaza Hotel In Rosemont Alone
A popular Chicago activist, Andrew Holmes, claims police showed him a surveillance video showing disoriented 19-year-old Kenneka Jenkins walking into freezer alone at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Rosemont, Chicago, on Saturday at midnight and the door shutting behind her. Holmes told the Chicago Tribune:
“We all was wondering and wanted to know did anybody pull her down there?’ Holmes told reporters Thursday.
“Did anybody force her down there? Was anybody on the other side in that room when she got down there? And the answer to that is ‘no.’
“It was just an accident waiting to happen.”
Kenneka Jenkins was found dead after she had been missing for around 24 hours after partying with friends in one of the hotel’s rooms. It’s gathered that the police are investigating the viral Facebook video of Jenkins and her friends hours before her death alongside surveillance footage from 47 cameras inside the hotel.
According to Holmes, one of the surveillance videos shows Jenkins waiting in the lobby of the hotel after her friends reportedly went up to the room to retrieve items they left behind. She then takes an elevator to a lower level before she wanders around and opens doors appearing to be disoriented. The 19-year-old also opened two doors in a kitchen area and walked inside of the large freezer before the doors shut behind her.
Holmes also added that the theories circulating online about Jenkins are ‘just something they made up on social media.’ Rosemont police said they will show the video to the woman’s mother, Tereasa Martin, before they release it to the public at the end of the investigation.
The Crowne Plaza Hotel announced they would cover the cost of Kenneka Jenkins’s funeral.
A spokesman for the hotel said they extended the offer to the family that would also allow them to privately view 36 total hours of surveillance footage from 40 different cameras inside.
“Our hearts go out to the Kenneka’s mother, her family and friends. We hope covering the funeral costs provides a small bit of relief for them,” hotel spokesman Glenn Harston said in the statement.
