What is going on true crime fans? I'm your host teeth and I'm your host

Daphne and you're listening to going west. Hello everybody big thank thank you to Maddie, Gabby, Adam and Lily for recommending today's case.

I'm sure there have been others, but those are the ones that I can find in our email.

I mean, this case is quite well known. We've been wanting to cover it for a long time because there's a lot of controversy surrounding it, a lot of theories, a lot of opinions, but I think either way a story that definitely deserves to be told.

Yes, absolutely and Canika's mother is still looking for answers.

So if you're listening to this episode, please share it.

And without further ado, this is episode 434 of going west, so let's get into it. You're not going to. The In September of 2017, a 19-year-old woman headed to a party at a Chicago hotel,

only to be found dead in one of their unused hotel

freezers under suspicious circumstances, just hours after being reported missing.

This is the story of Koneka Jenkins. Konekka Jenkins was born on May 27th, 1998 on the west side of Chicago.

She grew up with her mom Teresa Martin and an older sister named Lenore Harris. Now although very little has been made public about

Canika's personal life her sister and her nieces absolutely adored her. She's

described by those who knew her as caring and outgoing and while attending the Community Christian

Alternative Academy she enjoyed writing for the school's newspaper.

After graduating she worked a few different jobs, but she had just secured a new position

at a nursing home at the time today's story takes place.

Which, by the way, started on the evening of Friday, September 8th, 2017, when Canika and some friends had

a plan to meet up at a birthday party of a friend named Irene.

So Canika told her mom that she was going bowling

and asked to borrow her car, to which Theresa agreed.

Now, some sources also say that Canika told her mom

that she was going to the movies, but we know at least the plan was supposed to be to go bowling first, or at least so her mom thought.
