Newly released surveillance video shows Kenneka Jenkins stumbling around the hallways and kitchen of the hotel where she was found dead inside of the walk-in freezer hours later.

Video shows the 19-year-old leaving the elevator alone at 3.20am then struggling to maintain balance as she navigates the hallways of The Crowne Plaza Hotel and Conference Center in Rosemont.

She was at the hotel the night of September 8th for a party with friends on the ninth floor. Jenkins was officially reported missing on Saturday at 1pm and found dead in the freezer early Sunday morning at 1am.

Though the footage doesn't show the moment Jenkins enters the freezer, authorities believe she did when she walked out of the frame.

The footage appears to conflict with the social media speculation that there was foul play or that she was coerced into the freezer.

There will be 36 more hours of footage from that weekend released, police told the .

The teen's family's lawyer told the paper they will be seeking their own investigation and perhaps a second autopsy.

Attorney Larry Rogers said the hotel 'never checked. They never searched, they never did anything while a young, 19-year-old disoriented girl was sitting in their freezer.'

'Now there has to be an answer to how that happened. Better yet, there has to be an answer to why that happened.'

Her mother Tereasa Martin said: 'To me, I feel like they helped kill my child: the police department and this hotel.'

In a 911 recording made after Kenneka vanished but before she was found, Martin tells a dispatcher that she fears her daughter has been drinking after speaking to her friends.

Martin said 'one cup is too much for her' and asks if detectives can get the hotel surveillance video. But the dispatcher tries to allay her concerns and assures her that Kenneka will probably turn up.

The family filed a missing persons report at 1.15pm, at which time the hotel searched for Kenneka but failed to find her. It was only after the teen's parents went to the hotel herself at 6pm that staff phoned police, a second search was mounted and her body was found.

Andrew Holmes, who has worked in the community for decades fighting against violence, told the Chicago Tribune earlier that detectives in Rosemont allowed him to view the video on Wednesday when he went to seek answers on behalf of Jenkins' family.

'We all was wondering and wanted to know did anybody pull her down there?' Holmes told reporters Thursday.

'Did anybody force her down there? Was anybody on the other side in that room when she got down there? And the answer to that is 'no.'

Jenkins' body was discovered in the industrial, walk-in freezer at The Crowne Plaza Hotel and Conference Center in Rosemont, a suburb of Chicago, at 1am Sunday.
