What so sad to me is how little the mother was asking for, just to see the security footage, and it was denied to her. Such a minor thing that could have changed so much, and that was somehow too much to ask for. Such a shame.

[@georginapage730]

If she could have seen that cctv she could possibly have been saved as it had only been a couple hours ok a couple hours in a freezer is alot but there's that chance because as a mother looking for her child she would of checked cupboards , pantrys and freezers xx

[@critical-goat]

There's actually a reason you can't show the cctv footage to just anyone. You as the person allowing it can get in trouble, as most hotels have a secrecy policy and you really don't know if the person is looking for someone trying to hide from them. And in a lot of cases, the person at the front desk doesn't have the authority to look at the footage (only security and management can) and very rarely is the ability to view the footage in the main building. But. I feel the person at the desk should have called the manager to get permission or offered to call 911 for them so that the footage can be looked at.

[@adamdombrowski193]

​@@critical-goat None of you have even the slightest clue what actually went down lol! These Hotels make money off organ harvesting and sex trafficking plain and simple!

Sometimes when you don't know for sure, you still have that hope, that's why her friends wasn't freaking when KJ at first couldn't be found, they never would have thought in a million years she were dead, I think Teresa really wanted the police(s) to come to the hotel and make the hotel look at the cameras or start looking for her right them and there with an sense of urgency but the conversation didn't go like she thought it would because he didn't have a sense of urgency himself so she kinda went with the flow still with hope.

[@misfitbrit1989]

@@Rhythm1293 I know. But when you're 19, you're still essentially a teenager who isn't exactly planning safety. You're a new adult soaking up the freedom you have and that can turn into a bad ending fast. My 1st legal St. Patrick's Day, I went out with a huge group of girls to go party at the bar. Buddy system in place til 2 or 3 people had to pee and everyone else was gone I kept asking around, casually about a large group of of girls in green. Not exactly helpful but I tried and was sure they would all appear later. Meanwhile, cute guy offered me a drink, we chit chatted over really loud music and I told him about my friends and was texting them throughout a couple of drinks - t he minute I stood up, i knew I had been drugged. Long story short, I kept telling I was to tell wasted people "Help, I'm not drunk" who laughed. I remember him saying "I know where your friends went, it's a party where drinks are free for ladies" - made sense in my mind at the time. Ended up in a hotel suite that was empty besides myself and him when we walked in. A lot of the moments from there on out were black. Til the door was knocked down by police. Something was said about vomiting and I had vomit on my dress. And needed to go to the hospital. Went by medic who were asking 50 million questions. I just remember getting to the hospital and having an IV started, blood drawn and peeing in a pan. What happened was I had gone out to the small porch area (like a balcony) off the suite and was puking. I puked on a girl by accident but she was a good Samaritan and called 911. After I was done puking, several witnesses saw him punch me in the face so hard I fell over a lawn chair he picked me up by my hair and while leaning over the banister was picking my dress up and groping me. I had a kit which didn't show any penetration but he sexually assaulted and assaulted me bad...my nose was broke, he knocked out 11 teeth (and one was a damn wisdom tooth). I had swallowed a few others were on the porch or room. My breasts were beat, I had teethmarks that were deep and bleeding through my bra. Neck injury in a brace for 2 weeks then physical therapy. I couldn't sit comfortably for about a week because of how badly he beat me there and all over my back...you get the jist. And my blood alcohol was barely over thr legal limit so I wasnt drunk. GHB and xanax that I never took on my own was found. Which caused temporary heart/blood pressure and nervous system problems til it was out. Soon as I was clean from all that, into facial surgery. Another friend was fighting a guy off and broke several fingers and his wrist so he would stop. Another friend was taken to the hospital for her shin being broken when somebody accidentally shut the taxi door before she was totally in. Hell of a night. Phones, wallets, shoes (somehow) were stolen and never seen again. But now, several years older and wiser, we all know better. If someone is gonna drink outside of the home, someone needs to be sober. We'll still have a girls night here and there with dinner and wine but either sleepover or only have a glass with our food, later on a snack while binge watching Netflix or play a card game. Which gives us hours to sober up before driving and we all message each other when we're home safely. But yougins don't know that. Hear it but don't care as much as someone who's a little older and has heard and cares about the news or has personal experience.

I don't have the words to describe the massive social media campaign that we had to do to get help for Kenneka's mother.

[@JessieHTX]

Your mom was right. I spend a lot of time reading cases on the Charley Project. Most of the cases on white children seem to have information showing the police investigated at least a little, though not enough unless they’re also rich. Nearly all the black children and young adults(basically anyone but the beloved grandma who cooks for everyone on the block) don’t even seem to have been investigated at all. It’s infuriating to think about how many of these lives could have been saved if authorities had done the bare minimum of their duties.

It is procedure when a juvenile is missing to begin searching immediately. If someone is murdered, the police immediately begin investigating.

Taking off her shoe to bang seems totally plausible. You're cold, your hands hurt, the door is heavy and you can't make much noise with your soft fist. Her not knowing about the button, totally legit. I had no idea. I've never worked in a place that had one, never been in one. If it was dark, I wouldn't see it. PLUS, she was so drunk that she was falling all over the place outside the freezer. Sure the cold might have sobered her up a little, but would it have been enough to sober her up inside of a cold dark freezer? I don't know. She was most likely panicking at this point, too. Panicking really destroys your ability to reason.

One time I was convinced I was from 19th century Massachusetts and I didn't know why I was using a toilet in a modern apartment.

What should come from this tragedy: Kenneka's Laws 1) Federal law that walk in freezers are required to have electric/LED lighted release buttons that are well lit and visible under all circumstances if anyone should find themselves trapped. I would also add a requirement for a red LED lighted emergency buzzer (as found in elevators) located next to the release button for instances where the release button has become non-functioning. 2) Federal law that allows management of any establishment to immediately review live and pre-recorded video when it involves the health and welfare of another human being. I find it likely and disturbing that if the missing person had been under 12 years of age, those videos would've been reviewed quickly and effectively. Unfortunately for Kenneka, she was just too old to be taken seriously. My take-away is that the hotel is responsible for not taking necessary precautions to insure that no one entered that area. Signs were not enough. What if people wandered in who did not speak English - or children who were too young to read? The sad part is that there were SO MANY people that could have assisted Kenneka's mother during this event, but no one did. No one was responsible enough to be effective. Even the dispatcher is putting off the mother's worry. Everyone telling Kenneka's mother that it just isn't really worth their time to find her daughter. It's so sad you can barely believe it's true.

@Tiffiney Gordon Faulkner I agree that something sketchy as fuck happened to KJ, but harvesting organs couldn't have been it. Organs need to be taken from a living person and definitely cannot be frozen when retrieved. The cells in the tissue die when the person does and freezing the body would destroy any chance of being able to use those organs for transplants. Again, SOMETHING happened to KJ other than just wandering into a freezer and dying while drunk.

It's so sad what happened to her, but there need to be standards by which the emergency workers/operators have to abide. This reminds me of the Powell case, where the operator does not listen properly, and dismisses what the caller is telling him, and tells her that the police need to attend to "real emergencies." And yea the hotel staff were also very negligent, allowing that party to go unchecked.

I think your daughter's response is perfect. A hotel hallway would seem way safer to me if I were drunk than a party with other drunk guys.

The hotel staff though totally dropped the ball imo. I don't understand why they just wouldn't let the mom see the footage.

And why is it ok for her to be passed out in a hotel room with random strangers and her friends gone?? I’m sure it wouldn’t have been ok for the 911 operators sister or daughter or loved one 😒

[@BooksToAshes]

She's legally an adult

[@4evermistyblu]

Young Ladies, NEVER leave your friend, NEVER!!!

[@kenziisims]

How can there be all these ‘theories’ about it not being an accident when we can literally see her walk into the kitchen and freezer by herself

[@StephanieHarlowe]

such a good question

[@Tillythedevine]

There was supposedly a great deal of doctored footage. I watched some of it and was very confused because in the fake footage, you do see all these weird things. A random guy is seen in some places, times are all changed. I just wonder how we can know for certain what is the real footage

[@GrayHughesInvestigates]

That's why I made so many videos debunking the lunacy

[@Tillythedevine]

@@GrayHughesInvestigates yes! subscribed to you recently and have heard good things about your videos! I'm gonna start watching them later

[@GrayHughesInvestigates]

@@Tillythedevine Cool Thanks. my personality is sarcastic dry humor, I hope that is ok.

[@nora_nayeli]

People. If you guys go to a party or clubbing. STICK TOGETHER. Specially if your friend is out of it like that. Even if your friend is ok everyone needs to stick together cause that's how people go missing or get killed. I'm almost 27 and my group of friends make sure 2-4 walk together to the restroom at all times and 2-4 walk each other to get more drinks. I don't know I don't trust Kenneka's friends.

[@sunmoonchild4092]

Nora Galvan Agreed 🙏🏽

[@smacksalad]

Agreed. Please look out for each other, folks.

[@theveefit]

I agree!!!

[@hothotheat3000]

Yup! People joke about how women go to the bathroom in packs, but shit like this is the reason why. Safety in numbers.

[@yuki97kira]

I agree..but in a way..they are young adults, in their minds, they might not think sticking together is important..and if kaneeka isnt important to them, they wouldnt be searching for 2 hours+, they wouldnt call her home, they would just go, yeah shes going home, lets all go home

[@OMGitsAmora]

i’ll never leave my drink friend by herself EVER

[@idiordoll5735]

She wasn't drunk, she was drugged.

[@shannond1511]

Right! What kind of friends are these fucking ppl!?!

[@sumeya1923]

Shannon D they weren’t ...which is why i don’t call people i meet straight away/ know for years a “friend”🤷🏽‍♀️ until they prove themselves

[@trapboujeebabe]

That girl was drugged she was not drunk

[@lozzibear1989]

@@shannond1511 they had been drinking and taking drugs... it isn't fair to expect other drunk people to take care of their friend because she is drunk... I don't understand this logic!

[@Alice-yu7pe]

I find myself coming back to episodes on this young woman. I find it both frightening and fascinating, forever wondering who or what was the cause of her death
