Kenneka Jenkins Videos Released By Cops Don't Show Her Entering Freezer

ROSEMONT, IL — Police in Rosemont have released all surveillance footage that shows Kenneka Jenkins, the 19-year-old women found dead in a hotel walk-in freezer. The videos, posted in full by WGN-TV News, show Jenkins stumbling around different parts of the hotel. As the news channel notes, it was not sent any video that shows Jenkins walking into a freezer.

During a Thursday night protest in front of the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel & Conference Center, the scene of Jenkins' death, Tereasa Martin, the victim's mother, disputed the claims of Chicago activist Andrew Holmes, who said at a press conference earlier in the day that he had viewed footage showing Jenkins entering the freezer alone. He claimed Rosemont police showed him video from hotel security cameras Wednesday, and he described what he saw in the footage.

According to Holmes, the video shows Jenkins — who he said appears impaired — waiting in the Crowne Plaza lobby and making her way to a lower level, where she is shown opening doors. She eventually enters a kitchen area, then goes into the freezer and does not come out, the activist said. (Get Patch real-time email alerts for the latest news for Chicago — or your neighborhood.

"The important part of this we always wondered and wanted to know: Did anybody pull her down there, did anybody force her down there, was anybody on the other side in the room when she got down there, and the answer to that is no," Holmes said at the press conference.

But none of the hotel video footage sent to WGN shows Jenkins entering a walk-in freezer. The station also said police did not provide security camera videos in which Jenkins did not appear.

Larry Rogers Jr., a personal injury attorney representing Martin and her family, also rejected Holmes' account in a statement released Friday. Rogers said his clients have not received any footage that resembles Holmes' description, according to the Chicago Tribune. According to Rogers, police have only released "snippets of video, none of which shows Kenneka Jenkins walking into a freezer,” the report stated.

"Serious questions remain as to how she ended up in a Crowne Plaza Hotel freezer and why it took a day and a half for the hotel to find Kenneka," Rogers' statement said.

Holmes' description of the video is similar to what authorities initially told Martin about the events leading up to her daughter's death. Police told the family Sunday that the teen was intoxicated when she let herself into the freezer and died inside.

Jenkins had gone to the Rosemont hotel Friday, Sept. 8, to attend a party in a room on the ninth floor. Friends had contacted her mother, Tereasa Martin, just after 4 a.m. when they couldn't find Jenkins. The teen's sister reported her missing Saturday afternoon, and after an 11-hour search, hotel staff found Jenkins' body inside a walk-in freezer early Sunday. The medical examiner's office pronounced her dead at 12:48 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 10.

During Thursday's hotel demonstration of about 50 people, Martin said Holmes did not have permission to speak on behalf of the family concerning the video. She discounted claims that she asked the public to discontinue protests in front of the Crowne Plaza. People have been gathering in front of the hotel for impromptu demonstrations since Monday.

WATCH: Chicago activist Andrew Holmes held a press conference Thursday to discuss the hotel security camera video he saw related to Kenneka Jenkins' death:

Investigators have been combing through 30 hours of video from 47 hotel cameras, but police planned to show Martin footage relevant only to her daughter's disappearance and death, the department said this week. According to the Tribune, police have not confirmed whether Holmes was shown in any video or whether his account is accurate.

Authorities said video was sent to "specialized forensic technicians for further analysis." The Cook County medical examiner's office also received footage, the Tribune reports. An autopsy this week was inconclusive on a cause of death, and the medical examiner's office needed further study to make a determination.

Martin continued to raise doubts that Jenkins' death was accidental and said the family was still looking for answers. Another Chicago activist, Jedidiah Brown, publicly offered his support to the family in a Facebook Live video from the demonstration Thursday. He also personally apologized to Martin at the protest for participating in Holmes' earlier press conference.

"They [the family] don't have the answers, and it didn't add up," Brown said in the video. Martin is seen in the background of the video, and she speaks briefly at the end. "They were never OK with the narrative. They don't believe that the daughter walked into the freezer. They don't believe that.

"So what I said earlier is wrong. They never accepted it, and we don't accept it. So I'm on here to get this right. I'm on here to apologize to this family, again. I apologize to the City of Chicago. I apologize to Kenneka."

Speculation about whether Jenkins' death was the result of foul play hasn't come only from the victim's mother and family. Social media is filled with theories about how the teen died, circulating under hash tags such as #RIPKennekaJenkins and #JusticeforKennka.

Soon after news of Jenkins' death broke, a Facebook Live video posted on social media and other online platforms fueled suspicions that criminal actions and motives were involved. The video allegedly shows a woman wearing mirrored sunglasses with Jenkins in the hotel's ninth-floor room during the time the woman was supposed to be there for the party. Online amateur sleuths have been using the video and other "evidence" to try to "crack the case."

Holmes' account Thursday failed to quell many people's suspicions. And those skeptics have been vocal online:

I DO NOT believe that she just walked in that freezer. Ph--k all the "videos", they can be altered too. #RIPKennekaJenkins

If America can obsess over JonBennet Ramesy's death after 15 years, we can obsess over Kenneka Jenkins. #RipKennekaJenkins #KennekaJenkins

Rosemont Mayor Brad Stephens told the Tribune Wednesday that the rampant speculation and online sleuthing were hampering the police investigation. Police are pursuing Jenkins' case as a death investigation, but they continue to classify it as noncriminal.

Also on Thursday, a spokesman for the Crowne Plaza said it will pay for Jenkins' funeral, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

"Our hearts go out to the Kenneka’s mother, her family and friends," a hotel statement said, according to the Sun-Times. "We hope covering the funeral costs provides a small bit of relief for them."
