Jelani Day

Published: Feb. 8, 2022, 2:47 a.m.

Today I am discussing the case of 25-year-old Jelani Day from Bloomington, Illinois. Jelani was last seen leaving the Beyond/Hello Dispensary around 9:20am on August 24th, 2021. His body was later recovered an hour away in Peru, Illinois on September 4th. Jelani\u2019s official cause of death is listed as drowning. Authorities are hesitant to say that foul play was involved in Jelani\u2019s death, but his family and many others are certain it was. Especially since Jelani was a black man found deceased in a city with a long history of racism.\n\xa0\nThis is the case of Jelani Day.\xa0\n\xa0\n\xa0#WhatHappenedToJelaniDay\n\xa0\nAnyone with information about Jelani\u2019s disappearance or death is urged to contact their local FBI office or submit an anonymous tip online at tips.fbi.gov\n\xa0\nFollow his family on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Justice-for-Jelani-Day-109701681441798\n\xa0\nSign the petition: https://www.change.org/p/sign-this-petition-to-bring-justice-for-jelani-demand-that-the-fbi-intervenes-to-find-out-what-happened-to-jelani-day\n\xa0\nDonate to the GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/find-jelani-day?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer\n\xa0\nFor more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com\n\nDon't forget to follow me on social media under Voices for Justice Podcast & SarahETurney\n\nJoin the Patreon family to get instant access to a library of extra content, support the show, and support these cases https://www.patreon.com/VoicesforJustice\n\nVoices for Justice is a podcast that uses adult language and discusses sensitive and potentially triggering topics including violence, abuse, and murder.
