@untoldmysteries: Jelani Day (25) was found dead in the Illinois River on Sept. 4th, 2021. Jelani attended Illinois State University, and studied Speech Pathology as a graduate student. Jelani was last seen on August 24th, 2021. His professor Cara Boester stated she was texting him the night before after 9:00 p.m. about his course work. So when Jelani didn’t show up to class the next morning, she immediately notified the police and his mother. Jelani was last spotted on campus, but then later leaving to be seen again at a dispensary in Bloomingdale, IL. He appeared to have changed clothes in between that time. His car, wallet, and cellphone were all later found in different locations near Peru, Illinois 60 miles away from campus. On September 4th a body was discovered in the Illinois river, and was later identified to be Jelani Day on September 23rd, 2021.The Laselle County Coroner's office determined the cause of death to be drowning, and initially suspected Jelani committed s*icide. Even if Jelani did drown, there are still no answers as to how?? Carlee Day, his mother, has insisted from the beginning Jelani knew how to swim and was far from depressed. Jelani went missing around the same time as Gabby Petitto & sadly didn't receive the same news coverage. The FBI is still investigating this case, and continues to try to gain access to his phone records. They are also trying to gather information from Jelani’s car radio. #crimetok #truecrimetiktoker #foryoupage #fypシ #jelaniday #jelanidaymissing #jelanidaycase
