Off The Record /// Episode # 9 | Forensic Files

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] last year we covered the kanika Jenkins
case we covered it in like September and she was found dead in that hotel in the
freezer of that hotel in September so for us it was like you know for as far as the garage is concerned captain it
was like breaking news for us cuz usually we're talking about cases you know a year or two yeah sometimes
decades yeah some of them have already gone cold and this one was this one was crazy because there was so much and
pardon my language here but there was so much crap about this case on the Internet at the time dirty and a lot of
this stuff was was junk information there wasn't a whole lot of information about the case the police or there was
such an uproar and that's one of the reasons why we can we decided to cover it so early yeah and we did take some
flak you know some people are like what are your covering accidents now and now keep in mind that was like it's it's at
the time it's whose perspective are you listening to right was it an accident was it a murder and that's what we
wanted to really look at was look deep into this thing and find out if it was a murder because it's a very strange
situation to see a young woman just 19 years old right walking zombie style through the hotel hallways all by
herself all by her lonesome and then eventually she's found dead inside this freezer and her family was in an uproar
rightfully so I think because you're her mother god bless her she wanted answers
she just wanted to know what happened to her child well what's so sad about the whole thing is that the mom actually
went down to the hotel you know and said hey my daughter's missing and she's here
mm-hmm and the hotel said she's not here and if people would have went and looked
for her and they would have searched all the all the areas of the hotel I think they would have found her and I don't
think she would have been dead and I think you know this would just be we probably never would have heard of this
story if that's what happened right I wish we I wish that's how it turned out but that's not how it did
well in the the wild thing here was you know the media and the community and people wanted to the police came under
fire you know oh you're not really investigating this very well and the hotel came under fire and where my heart
lied was in and I followed Kaneko's mother's good example she said you know what her friends are the ones that I'm
looking at and I followed her good example because what was this what was she out doing by herself you know she's
clearly messed up is the best way to put it when you watch that video of her walking around she is messed up and
she's out walking by herself a very vulnerable situation for her to be in and her friends her quote/unquote
friends so-called friends weren't there to keep an eye on her and I know they're
not you know we covered Brittany Drexel recently and and one of her acquaintances said you know I wasn't
there to babysit somebody and I get what they're saying but still this is this is
this was weird to me that that not only did her friends let her walk around and wander the hotel but they I almost
dropped the f-bomb there yeah I got all worked up they left the hotel they their
friend they don't know where the hell she is and they leave well into their credit though they did call her mother
yeah so that's one other thing but also thank you for for talking me off the ledge there but when you also have a
situation where you can watch a lot of footage of kanika walking through the hotel and it's very it is very scary
because we know the end result and it's very zombie like it's very it's I mean I've seen drunk walking before this is
beyond that and so you just kind of wonder what was her actions beforehand what was how was she acting in the hotel
room beforehand and and that's where I questioned them as friends because you would have had some sign that she was
beyond talk intoxicated right I can't believe that this just like in the blink of an
eye she's all messed up all of a sudden this this so here's the thing though - which is wild because we're we had a few
a few people saying hey what are you doing covering accidents now we had quite the reverse by most of the people
that hurt our episodes and if you want to go back and listen to those that's episodes 144 and 145 we covered it's
September of last year but we had long all the old episodes are available for free on the stitcher app
well what we had the reverse of that was we had loads of people saying crying screaming out for an update on Kaneko's
case because there was good information that was learned once you sifted

This week the boys talk about the Kenneka Jenkins Updates. Cheers Mates
