00:00:05
[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] last year we covered the kanika Jenkins
00:00:22
case we covered it in like September and she was found dead in that hotel in the
00:00:29
freezer of that hotel in September so for us it was like you know for as far as the garage is concerned captain it
00:00:36
was like breaking news for us cuz usually we're talking about cases you know a year or two yeah sometimes
00:00:43
decades yeah some of them have already gone cold and this one was this one was crazy because there was so much and
00:00:51
pardon my language here but there was so much crap about this case on the Internet at the time dirty and a lot of
00:00:59
this stuff was was junk information there wasn't a whole lot of information about the case the police or there was
00:01:08
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
00:01:14
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
00:01:22
the time it's whose perspective are you listening to right was it an accident was it a murder and that's what we
00:01:30
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
00:01:36
situation to see a young woman just 19 years old right walking zombie style through the hotel hallways all by
00:01:45
herself all by her lonesome and then eventually she's found dead inside this freezer and her family was in an uproar
00:01:54
rightfully so I think because you're her mother god bless her she wanted answers
00:01:59
she just wanted to know what happened to her child well what's so sad about the whole thing is that the mom actually
00:02:04
went down to the hotel you know and said hey my daughter's missing and she's here
00:02:10
mm-hmm and the hotel said she's not here and if people would have went and looked
00:02:15
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
00:02:23
think she would have been dead and I think you know this would just be we probably never would have heard of this
00:02:30
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
00:02:36
well in the the wild thing here was you know the media and the community and people wanted to the police came under
00:02:45
fire you know oh you're not really investigating this very well and the hotel came under fire and where my heart
00:02:54
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
00:03:03
looking at and I followed her good example because what was this what was she out doing by herself you know she's
00:03:12
clearly messed up is the best way to put it when you watch that video of her walking around she is messed up and
00:03:19
she's out walking by herself a very vulnerable situation for her to be in and her friends her quote/unquote
00:03:27
friends so-called friends weren't there to keep an eye on her and I know they're
00:03:32
not you know we covered Brittany Drexel recently and and one of her acquaintances said you know I wasn't
00:03:38
there to babysit somebody and I get what they're saying but still this is this is
00:03:43
this was weird to me that that not only did her friends let her walk around and wander the hotel but they I almost
00:03:51
dropped the f-bomb there yeah I got all worked up they left the hotel they their
00:03:57
friend they don't know where the hell she is and they leave well into their credit though they did call her mother
00:04:02
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
00:04:09
situation where you can watch a lot of footage of kanika walking through the hotel and it's very it is very scary
00:04:17
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
00:04:28
beyond that and so you just kind of wonder what was her actions beforehand what was how was she acting in the hotel
00:04:36
room beforehand and and that's where I questioned them as friends because you would have had some sign that she was
00:04:42
beyond talk intoxicated right I can't believe that this just like in the blink of an
00:04:48
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
00:04:57
a few people saying hey what are you doing covering accidents now we had quite the reverse by most of the people
00:05:04
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
00:05:10
September of last year but we had long all the old episodes are available for free on the stitcher app
00:05:17
well what we had the reverse of that was we had loads of people saying crying screaming out for an update on Kaneko's
00:05:27
case because there was good information that was learned once you sifted
