This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). It’s the story of Illinois State University graduate student Jelani Day. Earlier this year, on Aug. 25, Jelani was reported missing and shortly after, on Sept. 4, Jelani’s body was found floating face down in the Illinois River in Peru, Illinois. After an autopsy supposedly revealed no evidence of assault or altercation, the county coroner concluded the cause of his death was, simply, drowning. BUT, Jelani’s family, friends, and thousands of supporters think there is much more to the story than an accidental drowning. Find out all the details of this story on Chronicle 19, #WhatHappenedtoJelaniDay.
