Case Description
On September 18, 2017, Kenneth Eric Jenkins Jr., 22, was reported missing by family members in St. Helena Island, Georgia. Kenneth's family hadn’t been seen him since two days before. When they last spoke to him, Kenneth said he was on a date in Bluffton.
According to family members, Kenneth was always accessible on his cellphone or social media apps. It was not like Kenneth to not respond to family, which prompted them call to the Sheriff’s Office. Kenneth had recently left the Army and was supposed to start a new job with a construction company. He never showed up for his new job. Evidence discovered by law enforcement in the early stages of the investigation suggests foul play was involved in Kenneth’s disappearance. Kenneth's family continues to advocate for their loved one and seek answers in his case.
