Another interview with a Vice Lord gang member:
This guy recalls KJ drinking and socializing. He said KJ and M&M left the room. He was playing dice by the door. He said they came back in again and left again. He didn't pay them much attention to know if they did it again. He left about 4am.
Smack interview summary:
Smack arrived t 245am to 3am. He denied being Vice Lord, but the police found out differently.
"While at the party in room 926, Smack said everybody was “having a good time” and there was “no bull* at all.” He was drinking Hennessey and smoking marijuana while at the party and said people were also on “pills” (ecstasy), but did not observe them at the party. He believes a good amount of people at the party took pills prior to attending the party at the hotel. Everyone was friendly and “neighborhood people who always party together.” he noticed Jenkins drinking liquor out of a cup, and that she appeared intoxicated, but did not pay attention to her because “a lot of people were there.” He said, “Everyone was drunk and high.” "
He left between 4 and 430am and claimed not to know about KJ until later.
Guy who checks the cooler and freezer temperatures:
This is the guy who is seen on the upper kitchen footage after KJ walks into the cooler but before the other employee finds her. He says that it's his job to check temperatures on units. He doesn't say whether that includes KJ's units. He has other jobs, too. He calls the upper kitchen the "kosher" kitchen.
"On 9/9/17 at approximately 2000 HRS, he entered the kosher kitchen. Upon arriving at the door, he noticed the wood door was open more than normal. The door was also open more than he remembered the night before. The door has been open/unlocked for a few weeks as he believes they began construction in that area.
'Given his observation, he entered the area thinking someone walked in there. While looking in the area, he checked the temperature reading and soon after received a call. It was from the front desk stating someone defecated in the pool and needs to be cleaned. After spending approximately one minute in the kosher kitchen, he responded to the pool area. "
Another partygoers interview summary:
Something about the way this guy describes KJ seems hinky. He has known her since 2013. He remembers her at the party with a smile on her face, drinking from a hennessy cup. This description is very personal and almost like a picture. When I hear culprits discussing their crimes and lying, they usually use imagery like this. I'm not saying he did anything, but it just throws up a red flag to me, especially as he goes on to say she started turning up a bottle, something that should be MORE memorable in my view.
In even more strangeness, he continues:
"As the party went on, blank remembers seeing Jenkins drinking “from the bottle of Hennessey.” He saw Jenkins “got messy” and fell
asleep for a short period of time on the bed, and no one was messing with her or being inappropriate at all. blank said that he has known Jenkins and she could not handle her liquor, and has seen her drunk on many occasions. He said, “She was just that girl that couldn’t drink much, nothing against her, just how it is.”"
No one else describes KJ like this in bold. He also said she was always nice and friendly with everyone. Further:
"No one had any problems with each other and the party was “one hundred percent chill and cool.” There was liquor (Hennessey and Remy Martin) and marijuana at the party. He was drinking Remy and smoking marijuana. He also knows that the individuals at the party do “pills” such as ecstasy, but did not see it at the party. He said, “Look at the Facebook live with Irene, her lips are shaking since she’s on pills.” He did not know if Jenkins was on or taking any pills at the party, or if she smoked at the time, but stated she was “drunk.” Jenkins was speaking casually with her friends at or near the bed prior to them leaving."
Unlike anyone else, he describes KJ as swaying and stumbling when she left with her two friends. He even claims one of the friends had to assist KJ. He claims the two friends came back for the phone and keys and left. A few minutes later, they returned an announced KJ was missing. They left again to search.
Further:
"Blank advised Jenkins “doesn’t really get with guys” and has known her to having two boyfriends over the time her has known her. Both of those boyfriends he advised are in jail and “locked up” at the moment and “have been for a while.” He didn’t have any information on the two. He assisted and with looking for Jenkins, but were unsuccessful in locating her. They thought she just left with a friend and thought nothing suspicious or serious at the time."
I don't see why KJ would be upset and feel guilty about partying if her BF was locked up for a while already. Odd.
