Found Deceased NC - Lauren Jenkins, 17, Wake County, 18 March 2017

[Sevilla]

This is the point so many people ignore. She broke the law, she knew she broke the law, and she decided to add hit and run to the drinking and whatever else she was doing. The parents were also warned often and over an extended period of time, so while this is sad and tragic, it isn't LE's fault.

you really sound like you have a personal aggenda with this young lady and her family, and that's sad that you brought it here. i'm not saying anything she did was right by any means, i have lost many friends to drunk drivers. but i am getting the impression that some individuals spent more time *****ing about her, then acttually trying to find her. last i have heard of they have not released her BAC, so we dont know if she was drunk or distracted. receiving a severve head wound can cause extreme confussion, if she did run and only made it three houses away, it was probably all adrenaline. i have worked with volunteer search teams here in michigan numerous times, and i just cant see how no one was able to find her in that short distance, when it was stated the direction she headed, knew where she lived, and there was a path that connected thoses points. which she was found within that grid. so again i have to ask, how bad did the people who her family called neighbors really try to find her.

Breaking the law doesnt warrant a death sentence, its a tragedy this young girl lost her life before she was able to make a change. I agree that LE isnt at fault, no one is. But to act as if she got what she deserved is very harsh and unnecessary.

If the driving was so bad in the neighborhood And for an extended period of time, why didn't they get LE involved early on? They could have sit within the neighborhood and try to catch her driving home from school. Seems every one turned a blind eye to it, knowing she was an accident waiting to happen. But still it doesn't explain why her body was found 30 hrs later in the same neighborhood she lived and wrecked in. Hard to believe no one retraced her steps from accident to her house bc they would have found her. It's a short cut through the woods the kids of Springdale Estates have traveled many many times. No excuse!

This dreadfully sad story just got worse. Lauren Jenkins' brother (the one who bought the alcohol for her) has died. I know this from my youngest son who attended the same high school as Lauren and her brother, and the news is apparently making the rounds among the students, so this is not confirmed, but does not strike me as surprising.

Wow their family is really going through the ringer right now. Just awful.

He died from injuries he inflicted on himself.

Wth. Those poor parents. The boy must have held himself responsible. I feel terrible that he felt that way. But now to leave the parents without either child and in the course of a few short months. That family. Their life are sadly over. I hope they find a means of finding self fulfillment and do not blame themselves forever. Awful

Sadly, he had some trouble with LE in the past but that was 2-3 years ago.

My heart truly goes out to the parents.

I wonder how much of that factored in. He was facing some pretty serious charges from what I could tell.

Imho...it seemed a while ago. I think him contributing to the death of his sister was just something he couldn't live with. I can't imagine.

wow, I am dumbfounded. This is so so sad. Don't even know what else to say. These people will never be the same.

 

[Sevilla]

According to news reports, he attempted suicide, and then died a couple of days later from his injuries.

I hope this is as awful as it gets, because this is pretty awful.

 

[Madeleine74]

He was trouble, was involved in an attempted murder (over drugs) in 2014, that literally went right up to the Cary PD, breaking and entering/robbery from a different incident. He was on a very bad trajectory, and was clearly headed for a life of multiple felonies the way he was going.

I guess this is what they were able to piece together from the investigation as to what happened to and with Lauren Jenkins in the last hours of her life.
