Welcome to the Reader‘s morning briefing for Monday, October 2, 2017.
More than 1,000 people turned out for funeral of Kenneka Jenkins
More than 1,000 people attended 19-year-old Kenneka Jenkins’s funeral at the House of Hope Church on the south side Saturday. Many of the attendees never knew Jenkins and learned of her mysterious death through social media. Jenkins was found dead in a freezer in a Rosemont hotel September 10, and her strange death quickly gained national attention and spurred conspiracy theories. “We’re not here to solve this, we’re not here to ask questions,” Reverend James Meeks told the crowd during the service. “We’re here to wrap our arms around a mother, a father, many aunts and uncles and friends who have lost a loved one.” [Sun-Times]
