Isn't this an activist? I'm not saying they're wrong, but they are not law enforcement.

I'm not pointing fingers. I'm just waiting for official word.

So there's pretty interesting talk coming from one of the activists standing next to Andrew Holmes (the main speaker) during the press conference, as well as Kenneka's mother. I've probably said more than I'm allowed since it's not MSM but if I'm allowed to I'll mention the other activists name..?
There's a Jedidiah Brown who speaks on this MSM video:

Is that who you mean? He doesn't seem to say anything that hasn't already been said.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...freezer-death-update-0915-20170914-story.htmlMartin arrived at the hotel about 9 p.m. Thursday, thanking protesters for turning out in honor of her daughter. Martin commended a police officer for his work during the investigation.
And just when it appeared the tension had died down, Martin said she was misrepresented by the activists who called the news conference earlier.
"He came out of the blue and acting ... like he was a friend," Martin said about one of the activists. "But he calls me this morning and says, 'Oh the hotel is not making any money. I think you need to go online and stop the protest.'"
When asked by a woman if information given earlier at the press conference was false, she responded, "Yes." She told the crowd not to believe Facebook, but egged on jeers from the crowd when they mentioned unsubstantiated theories.
"Whatever happened is going to come out," one woman told her.
"Yes!" Martin said.
Martin continued, "They were too hush-hush at the hotel."
The crowd erupted into chants of "Justice for Kenneka!" and vowed to return to the hotel until the case was resolved.
"If there is no foul play and there is no cover up, there is no reason to deceive the citizens of the city," activist Jedidiah Brown told Martin. "I apologize for being a part of that press conference. But what I need for you to do is to call for the citizens of Chicago to be out here every day until she gets justice she deserves."
A spokesman for the Crowne Plaza said Thursday that the hotel has offered to pay for Jenkins' funeral.
"Our hearts go out to Kenneka's mother, her family and friends," said the spokesman, Glenn Harston. "We hope covering the funeral costs provides a small bit of relief for them."
I've been worrying about that same thing.What is saddest to me now is wondering if she was alive when the mother started searching for her. I think it's privacy/staffing reasons that would make the hotel not want to show the tape without a police report and search immediately, but it would be heart breaking if she could have been saved were she found sooner. Can't even imagine what the mom is going through.

These are basically a good group of kids, speaking of IR,MS,SW,and KM........I never bought the set up, $200, rape, murder, crying, They have all been friends for so many years and I have read through 2-3 years of online communications between them. Nothing there to indicate any strife between them. They are pretty much immune to murder and death, it is all to common on any given weekend in Chi-Raq. Kenneka recently posted about any time she gets a new job, she is moving up, getting better pay. SW complained about a manager who was cutting her hours....these teens were working PERIOD If they were up to such illicit activities, no need for a 9-5
Now I may be way to early on releasing them from what most consider to be a murder BUT I doubt it.
Secondly I have not really addressed the hotel issue, obviously they have the deep pockets, I am not sure what culpability if any they have. I do not think anyone could have anticipated someone walking into the freezer, I do not believe this should be a secured area, what are we going to put locks on all walkin freezers? Who actually rented the room for IR? Were there any underage teens there.
Hopefully when all is said and done, these friends will be vindicated, although they have been crucified online and even by media as in so called freezer video.
My 2cents and then some.
Jenkins' mother, Tereasa Martin, was among protesters at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Rosemont Thursday night.
Martin questioned the handling of the investigation by both the police and the hotel.
http://wgntv.com/2017/09/15/family-...hotel-freezer-takes-issue-with-investigation/Rosemont police say they have provided the family with the hotel surveillance video which is said to show Jenkins alone, apparently disoriented, and wandering around the lowers floor randomly opening doors.
Community activist Andrew Holmes reviewed the surveillance video with police and said the death was an accident waiting to happen.
According to reports, the freezer is in unused section of the hotel. Holmes said the freezer was off and extremely hot inside at the time.
Police sent surveillance video that could answer the question of whether Jenkins' death was a horrible mistake or the result of foul play to her mother's attorney. Jenkins' mother, Teresa Martin, said she will be reviewing the video with her attorney on Friday and police said she is welcome to come to the police station to review the video with them and ask any questions they have.
http://abc7chicago.com/rosemont-hot...llance-video-sent-to-family-attorney/2419272/There are up to 47 surveillance cameras in and around the hotel that captured Jenkins' last moves. Andrew Holmes, a community activist in Chicago who viewed the footage Thursday, said the young woman was alone the whole time she was in the basement and may have been trying to get out. He said she may have thought the walk-in freezer was an exit.
"From me looking at the video, she was trying to find her way back upstairs to the lobby and she was checking the doors just trying to find her way upstairs," Holmes said.
