Kanika Jenkins was a young girl who was murdered and put inside the refrigerator on September 8, 2007, Kanika Murderly must have tried to take advantage of her situation and something went wrong, she was murdered and put inside the refrigerator in the hotel they went to for a night party.

Kanika Lied to her mum and told her that she was going out with some friends and they were going bowling and then to see a movie to celebrate her getting a job as a nurse.

Kanika borrowed her Mother Teresa's car and left the house around 11 pm that was the last time Teresa saw her daughter alive, Kanika was born on May 27 1998 in Chicago she was a smart and responsible girl with a bright future according to friends and family and she had a very good relationship with her mother.

the fateful night, Kanika and her three friends actually went to a party on the ninth floor of the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare hotel and they were seen entering the hotel around 1am through security footage, Even Kanika friends posted videos to their Snapchat stories and Facebooks during the party but they were clearly not having a good time stating that the males were aggressively flirting with them even after telling them to back off at around 1 30 a.m Kanika sent a final text to her sister the last time her family would ever hear from her around 3 AM, Kanika and her friends decided to leave the party in the hotel lobby but Kanika realized she had left her belongings car keys and cell phone back in the room, kanika's friends left her alone to go retrieve her belongings since Kanika was too intoxicated to even walk straight but this was a terrible idea, when her friends waiting and returned to where they had left Kanika and she was gone, her friends searched the hotel trying to find her but didn’t fine her between 4 and 4 30 am. they decided to call her Mother Teresa to let her know they couldn't find her daughter they asked if Kanika had maybe gone home without them but when they learned that she hadn't they drove to Teresa's house and brought her back to the hotel to continue searching, Teresa kanika’s mother didn't believe her friend's story and she could tell that they had been drinking and were possibly under the influence of drugs, when she asked kanika's friends if kanika had anything to drink and they told her yes she had drink, kanika's mother grew extra worried knewing Kanika couldn't handle alcohol and even a single drink would be too much for her, she asked the hotel's front desk for help but they refused her requested to see the security footage or for a security officer to look at it to figure out where her daughter had gone but they told her only the police could look at the tapes at 7 15 a.m Teresa called 9-1-1 about her missing daughter but at this time the dispatcher told her that Kanika was probably passed out drunk in a random hotel room and to go home relax and give it till morning the next day kaniko was officially reported as missing and a police investigation began around 1 15 PM the next day on September 9th Hotel staff claim they looked at the security footage and didn't see anything oddly enough you're about to hear why police searched the hotel in surrounding areas but came up with nothing around 10 pm an officer decided to look back through the security tapes in case something was missed sure enough he discovered Kanika stumbling around the hallways of the hotel lobby around 3 20 am and she was so intoxicated that she could hardly walk, after this the police sent out a second search team to follow her last known steps after stumbling her way through multiple floors and hallways, Kanika found her way to a kitchen that was under renovation and not in use the last known footage shows her walking through this kitchen back towards the freezer this freezer had a cooler in front with a second door leading to the freezer area the video does not show her walking into the freezer but it speculated she opened the door walked in and never came out police found her frozen solid dead body inside of the freezer others speculate that the hotel had something to do with her death and that her placement in the freezer is a cover-up some people believe she was lured into the freezer by someone working at the hotel and locked her in some say she was killed off camera put in a black garbage bag and dumped into the freezer to make it look like she stumbled into the freezer on her own a lot of people believe the hotel might have had a motive to cover up whatever happened to her because the party being held at the hotel was paid for using stolen credit cards there was underage drinking and illegal drugs inside the room the hotel knew about the party as they had received several noise complaints but did nothing to stop, it was the hotel trying to hide the truth about kanika's death so they wouldn't get in trouble for having an illegal party at their hotel or was her death simply an accident perhaps more details may come to surface one day that may give a definitive answer
