There's no way it was an accident. One,who the hell gets stuck in an opening when they're bigger than it. Also 5 hours off the security camera? Yeah no it wasn't an accident
They are soft gym mats.. not drain pipes. Wanna try a little experiment? Take your mouse pad and roll it into a cylinder like one of those gym mats. Leave the hole in the center the same size as a nickle. Now, take a quarter and see how easy it is to shove it down the hole sideways. We aren't talking about a steel drain pipe. How the hell can you consider this evidence??
616Haggard it might be easy for you to SHOVE something in but that's not the case is it. Also, gym mats like this aren't that soft, they're actually pretty hard. It's just a little extra cushion. So if they're rolled up it wouldn't easily stretch or conform to his body. Try this experiment, find rolled up gym mats that are smaller than you and see if you fall all the way in them to the point your foot is barely sticking out. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have shoved himself inside the mats. And if this was the case why would there be blood and why would his hands be behind his back?
I wondered if this was about hazing gone wrong. You know, guys get mean to each other to scare or punish; only it didn't go as planned. Instead of a person coming forward, they got scared and kept quiet. Perhaps an adult employed by the school was involved due to the access to the manipulated camera footage.
Nadia intheSky I had every "open" question answered in one post. I copied it, here: 1. His arms weren't by his side but outstretched in front of him. If you don't believe me, look it up, the original video of KJ being found is here on YT. And it shows his arms above his head. 2. It is possible for his body to fit into the opening of a gym mat. Again, there is a video here on YT of a guy the same height and body structure as KJ who proves that you can perfectly fit inside it and have no chance of escaping once you are in there. Also, he proved that it was blocking screams and he described it as pure hell after only being in an averted position for a few seconds. 3. The shoes on top of his body inside the mat are not the ones he was reaching for, but the ones he was wearing for basketball. The ones he was reaching for were at the bottom of the mat. The ones on top of him slipped off of his feet when he was trying to wriggle himself upwards. That also explains why his socks were partly off. 4. There is no missing camera footage. The rumor was started by CNN who posted this information only a few days after the whole case happened. It was later found out that the time gap between the footage is due to the fact that the camera is motion activated. No other source then claimed that there was any missing footage, the CNN article is outdated. 5. The fact that his finger nails were short don't prove that there was a murder. It is also not possible to get rid of DNA by cutting of finger nails. DNA can be found in dead skin cells, single hairs, saliva, sweat, etc. If Kendrick had got beaten up, his entire body and his clothes would have been covered in DNA. Not just his fingernails. Also, you can still find DNA under short fingernails. 6. His organs weren't missing because of illegal organ trafficing. If someone dies, you have exactly 15 minutes to remove vital organs from a dead body and need to cool them immediately. Kendrick's body was found almost a day after he'd died. His body (and organs) were already decomposing. 7. It is completely normal to remove organs before a funeral. That's why the funeral home removed them. Organs decompose quickly and sometimes families wish to have an open casket at a funeral (which takes places a couple of days after someone dies). If that person still had organs inside them, the smell would be too disgusting. 8. It's an outdated, but not unusual practise to stuff a dead body with newspaper after removing the organs. Newspaper is the cheapest material and given the fact that the funeral home offered to bury Kendrick's body for free, you cannot blame them for using the cheapest method available 9. The two boys that are considered the main suspects have solid alibis. One was in class and one had already left the school one hour before KJ had died and was on his way to a different city. I know some people like to say their father is an FBI agent, but even the FBI cannot manipulate space and time. You also have witnesses that confirm both guys' alibis. 10. The FBI is a high security organisation - not a mafia. They didn't cover up a murder that didn't happen. In fact, after people started claiming both brothers were responsible for KJ's death, they raided their home and seized their phones and computers for investigation purpose. However, they found no evidence of a potential murder. 11. If you guys still believe this is a weird conspirancy of the FBI, then why did they "hide" KJ's body at the school gym where it was practically begging to be found after supposedly having commited the perfect crime with no evidence? That doesn't make sense. 12. Kendrick's body was bloated due to the fact that blood had rushed down when he was in a averted position. In that position even a small cut can result in a major bleeding, and you start bleeding from your nose and vomit. And all of that - vomit, blood from the mouth and nose - were found at Kendrick's body. However, none of that resulted from a punch to the face or anything like that. 13. The second coroner that was paid by the Johnson's (who has the worst reputation one can have and was even suspended from the state for his unethical actions) ruled that Kendrick died from blunt force trauma due to a one inch bruise on his neck. Nothing else. He doesn't even claim that Kendrick was beaten up in his autopsy report. And it doesn't make sense as a bruise is not something that causes heavy bleeding or death to begin with.
Yeah this was a murder... everything points to it and it's so ridiculous how the organs went missing and the sheriffs believe he fell inside... makes no sense! This case needs to be reopened!
ASHTREY The 1st coroner only removed some of the organs because “they were too decomposed”. His body was exhumed twice and had 3 autopsy’s performed on it.
Yes I agree...it was something shady...he was murdered and someone tried to cover it up..cause if he was reaching for a shoe...his hands were to his sides not up ..plus someone entered the gym about,3 ,minutes later ..they should have heard some movement inside the mat...he was already dead...
Me too. This case will forever stay with me. Him and his family were betrayed by their community and their government, the exact people that are suppose to help them get justice. Hurts my soul to a whole other level. I didn't know Kendrick but he has a place in my heart.
Could be wrong, but saw a comment that said someone came out saying that Ryan Anthony Domek Hernandez said his brother told him that he killed him. His brother was arrested and is still in jail for killing him.
Micheal Bowman The people that come to Valdosta are from the city, not from the surrounding cities. Enigma, Nashville and alapaha, cities that surround Valdosta, cities that people rarely hear about. Small towns where Racism still exist. So before giving stats do some research. Valdosta is growing cities but if it wasn't for the college it would be and it still can be considered a small town
It's very suspicious that he was walking in the hall then the footage skips and all of a sudden he's running and is running into the gym with other boys running after him. I think that these people beat him up and hid him in the mat to cover up their tracks. Also I think the police and sheriff were related to one or some of the children that beat him up, so they erased the footage as best as possible without it looking too noticeable.
Sara where did you see that? def not in the past she shows from about 1:55 to 2:35. KJ goes puff to the left.... then a white girl hanging walking with 2 black boys ::gasp:: come into frame next, but they are clearly walking straight out together - aka in a different direction. They may show up on camera after he does, but they are certainly not after him!
Coming from someone who lives in valdosta, and went to Lowndes High, and was there the day they found Kendrick... I believed he was murdered from the minute the case opened. They handled everything so unorganized and incorrectly. It still makes me so sad to this day, even though I didn't know Kendrick personally. I feel so bad for his family. I hope they will get justice or at least some kind of closure one day😢
@@coreys.canady2330 at the time, everything was so confusing for everyone because of all the miscommunications between the police and the parents. but I’ve protested this year with Mrs. Johnson and she hasn’t given up and a lot of others in our town haven’t either.
@@NastyWoman1979 I guess so, if that's the definition of someone who lives and goes to school in the same town where an "incident" occurs and still doesn't claim they know it all. A triple shooting occurred in my back yard and guess what...I know NOTHING other than two people are dead and it happened in my back yard.
my theory: one of the bell brothers did it. told their fbi dad. fbi dad got a hold of the tapes, erased some clips. made it look like an accident, and had the sheriffs in on it as well.
@@missyaz4959 The Bell brothers have airtight alibis supported by hundreds of witnesses and video evidence. One of them is on camera in class on the complete opposite side of the school when Kendrick went into the gym, and the other was at an away game 3 hours away. You can't be in 2 places at once. There is no physical way that they had anything to do with this. The footage also is not missing. They were motion detectors, the camera picked KJ up when he was walking into the gym, and then stopped because no one else went in or came out. The footage resumed when the bell rang and students were walking in the halls again.
@@Rose-oh4mc BS one brother was in class but have you heard of a bathroom break and the other brother said himself he was getting ready to go somewhere there's video of him changing clothes Second the videos were missing a lot of time according to this women she said 1 hr and 5 mins i think and other for 2 hrs And in the video it shows a kid shooting hoops So why didn't the camera pick him up going into the gym And they're father is in the FBI 😂 cover up all the way
*First autopsy police declared it was accidental. (Accidental,positional, asphyxia) * Second autopsy: blunt force trauma. * body was stuffed with newspaper instead of cotton or sawdust to replace internal organs during autopsy. * 1 hour 5 min was taken off of one camera / 2 hours 10 min was taken off another + edited * Best friend of Kendrick was sent Facebook threat 'that he to could end up in a body bag' just hours after death. * When walking through the scene the investigators didn't cover their shoes like your supposed to so the scene was contaminated. * Then his mom reported it to a detective from Lowndes County Sheriffs Office, but of course they quickly downplayed it. The officer said "There was nothing to worry about because they knew where he was." * Cop refused to talk to cameras about Kendrick because he just 'didn't want to', made them leave as soon as they asked just after inviting them in. * Other people where in the gym * The shoe he was was 'trying to get' when he 'accidentally suffocated' was on top of blood with no blood on it. * Investigators didn't take DNA test off the blood on the wall to see who's it was since it wasn't Kendrick's. * They also didn't take in a jacket with blood looking stains into evidence for testing. * The hole inside the mat is 14.5 inches, Kendrick's shoulders are 19 inches wide so he can't just FALL or SLIP in it. * Didn't officially declare Kendrick's death until 6 hours after the first officer arrived even though he was clearly dead. * If he was actually stuck he obviously would have yelled out for help since people came in the gym 3 minutes after he did or would have been heard struggling. * Kendrick's grandfather asked to see his body because Kendrick's father was in Pennsylvania at the time of the death but the Sheriffs Department wouldn't let him see the body despite Georgia Law that states 'a body must be released within 24 hours if requested if there's no official foul play involved.' Then when Kendrick's father got back they also denied him of seeing the body. * His father described him as having swollen lips, blackened skin, bruises all over his body, short fingernails (he always kept them long), scratches on his hand, discoloration on his face, and more injuries all over his body. * The man who transported the corpse signed off on saying that all of Kendrick's clothes were with him. Said that there were 3 tshirts, black pair of shorts, pair of pants, boxers and pair of socks. He said all of this was with the body when he was transporting him from Makkhan to Valdosta. Georgia law states that all of the clothing must be returned back to the family, but all they received was a pair of broken earphones. Later revealed that the clothes were missing. * They weren't given any organs and the police said the organs were destroyed by a natural process and discarded. * Brian and Brandon became suspects because of how they treated Kendrick and their father was the FBI agent and immediately got them lawyers and told them not to speak to anybody. They were the only two out of everyone to have an interview with the police. I'm no investigator or anything but I'd say this is a murder. I really really hope that one day the truth will come out because no family or human deserves what they had to go through. It was a couple years ago but rip Kendrick.
Michael Bowman I'm just looking at the facts. Almost nobody in the comments are an actual investigator. And he died on January 11, 2013 so yes it was a couple years ago.
Michael Bowman okay lmao assume what you want, I honestly couldn't care less what you think. I don't understand why your being over dramatic about me saying a couple years ago instead of the exact date :/ chill out and find something better to do with your time other than commenting on one little mistake. If you don't think it's a murder then comment and move on. Don't make a big deal over such a little thing.
Michael Bowman Okay if you don't believe stuff I said then simply go do your own research. I don't even know who you are and I'm not going to keep arguing with you. I see your point and I'm sorry for not putting the date in I didn't think it mattered but it does and that's my fault. I was just trying to put my thoughts out there and so are you. i really dont wanna keep arguing over this so goodbye I hope you have a nice day
Michael Bowman The FIRST autopsy said accidental. The SECOND one said blunt force trauma. I'm not sick the only reason I even did all this research in the first place was because of how messed up I felt the whole situation was and I wanted to know the truth. Those are all the facts I found and I THINK it's a murder. If you think it's an accident GOOD FOR YOU! like coooool I don't give a damn. Comment your opinion and move on. I tried being nice but your honestly getting annoying as hell. nobody including me prefer him be fucking murdered. his own family thinks there was more to it than just an 'accident'. But they obviously wouldn't of prefer their son be freaking murdered. NOBODY DOES. All everybody wants is to know the truth and for there to be justice for him and his family. Now like I said GOODBYE AND HAVE A NICE DAY.
Also, the coroner wasn't called on the scene until 4-5 hours later. When there is a dead body involved, the coroner is supposed to be the FIRST one on the scene. It's been a few years but this still makes me so sad. I was a junior at LHS when it happened. I wish his family could get some justice.
Wow. This is one of the sickest and saddest things I've ever heard. I do not know what happened, but something is very very wrong with the whole situation. Whether it was murder or an accident, I think the police and investigators handled it the completely wrong way. I feel like before they even knew if it was an accident or murder, they immediately started working to cover things up or sweep things under the rug. & for what reason though? That is how these "good ol' boy'' police officers work down here in the South. There is a reason why footage was missing and more importantly, why they would not allow the family to see the boy for so long. Reminds me of something that happened right here in my hometown in Thorsby, AL about 6-8 months ago. A man name Neil Wade (my husband's 2nd cousin who he grew up with his whole life) randomly went missing. They searched for him "supposedly" for several weeks (around 6 wks). They searched all over his mother's property, as well as his grandmothers property among other places. Finally, after 6 wks missing, his grandmother reported smelling a foul smell out behind her house and when the police arrived, they found Neil about 50 yards behind her house, sitting at the base of a tree, with a rope around his neck and his hands were cut off. The police ruled it a suicide, stating that he used the rope to asphyxiate himself and committed suicide. It makes no sense. How do you commit suicide with your hands cut off and how can one cut both of their own hands off. Also, his grandmother's property had been searched within the first 2 wks. There is no way they wouldn't have found his body that close to her home. It is truly sad. He was a drug addict and a black man so it seems like the police really didn't want to put in any effort to investigate it any further or possibly they were involved. It wouldn't surprise me at all.
Kenetrice Nichole Jesus! That sounds horrific. I couldn't imagine if He was a family member of mine, to know that the police just gave up on finding his killer and called it an accident.
Josh Mangum They kind of did. They filed a lawsuit of 1mil towards about 38 people including a few of Kendrick's friends and also the two boys accused (with the FBI father). They have since taken back the lawsuit considering that both boys accused actually had strong alibis at the time of the crime. The boys were aimed primarily because their father was an FBI. The Johnsons are currently being sued for about $850,000 for attorney fees and about 1mil for defamation towards the Bells' family.
I remember hearing about this case when Kendrick first died. This was a murder and quite possibly racially charged as well. When I read last year that there were no convictions for his death I cried my eyes out. The police department was sloppy, they didn't thoroughly investigate, the crime scene was tampered with before officials arrived,.. My heart goes out to his family and anyone else affected by his death #JusticeForKendrick
as for the short fingernails, I think that they were cut afterwards maybe during the autopsy, because of the fact that dna evidence could be found under the fingernails. Maybe someone else's blood or skin, particles of clothing or other things..... Such a sad case
kela najera when medical examiners get DNA from a deceased persons nails they do not ever cut the nail. They take the wooden cuticle sticks the things that look like giant toothpicks and they scrape under the nails with it.
Anna C yes that's why I'm saying that they were cut to hide some piece of evidence, why else would they be significantly shorter so that the father would notice?
one of those bullies dad's was an fbi agent, I think they might have cut the fingernail before the body was autopsied to protect his identity which also lines up with why they held on to his body for six hours, because they could have been destroying evidence.
Danielle Nelson If you know it, PLEASE, please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 speak up!!! All these years later & still no answers! This is absolutely unacceptable! How can this have been allowed?? I’m just dumbfounded and I feel the worst for that young mans family!
bloop bloop WOW! Thank you! That makes compete sense to me! I do know grief will make someone (and ESPECIALLY a mother) mix things up & create their own stories in the hopes of blaming another person. Thank you for sharing that!!
me too, I started to watch it but as soon as I saw him on the video footage again I knew I just can't handle this story again.... this is just horrible
I have a panic attack with just the thought of being stuck in such a position. I have so much sympathy for this young man no matter what have may happened.
REGULAR PROTCOL WAS DEFINTLEY NOT FOLLOWED..KENDRICK WAS MURDERED I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS CASE..THE FAMILY AND KENDRICK HAVE BEEN BAMBOOZLED LONG ENOUGH. THIS CASE NEEDS NEW PEOPLE TO LOOK INTO THIS..RIP KENDRICK. HOPEFULLY YOUR IN THE ARMS OF GOD ..
It's very sad, but it seems like a freak accident. There's no way you could orchestrate a full murder and coverup in a public high school gym during operating hours.
Watching this during the riots for George Floyd and it’s disgusting how much the police had gotten away with and I’m glad we are finally standing up towards the unfairness the black community faces
I have been waiting all week for this, I honestly love mysteries (and makeup) so your channel never fails to interest me! Honestly you are my favourite youtuber ever ah
I am actually from the city this happened in. Kendrick’s parents always stand at a corner downtown with posters with pictures of his face after he had died. His face was really messed up. There is no way that he suffocated. I honestly believe that the two boys dad, who was the first cop to arrive on the scene, covered it up for his sons. It’s honestly a really sad story and is heartbreaking that the family still has no answers for their sons death and Kendrick has had no justice. #LongLiveKJ ❤️
It is a very sad horrific story and I hope justice does get served on whomever murdered the poor young man but what gets me is how so many people calling out the dad ect.. but they don't put themselves in HIS shoes (father) If you had a son that was doing good in school and great athlete and scholarships, rest of his life ahead of him and he accidentally kills a fellow classmate (sure he didn't intend to kill him) but for all intents an purposes let's say i.e. your child "accidentally" kills another kid, whom has his whole life ahead of him and you have a chance to "save" your kids life because that's basically it, his life is over , rest of it in prison , would you turn your child into the police..?? Honestly.. I mean if my kid was a drug addict pos person and killed some innocent person hell yeah I would not help him out. But 1 mistake like this and both lives are gone not just the 1.. It is Fd up I know and neither are my kids and it is sad and I hope the murderer gets punished but I'm just saying, the father isn't the one to blame.. He's doing what 97% of fathers would do for the love of their own..
I called the lowndes county sheriff's department to ask about the case and they refused to comment. 30 mins later they were at my house asking for me. They told me their version of the story and that the case was closed. Also they said to to believe what j see on the Internet
How do u get bloody and suffocate. Like seriously. You were either beaten and stuffed in, or you were put in there and suffocated. Georgia is a VERY racist state. Trust me, I lived and went to school here. This is tooo much evidence PROOVING foul play. Like. Where did the blood come from? This is Terrible. I hope more attention is brought on this case until everyone involved is brought to justice.
MIZZBHAVED09 i agrre Georgia is so racist i lived in Tenn so close to Georgia i can walk ten minutes and i would already be in Georgia Tenn is also racist practically the whole south glad i moved back to California its horrible
I don't think that Kendrick was killed as an act against him because of his race. But I do feel like if Kendrick was white the police would have handled the situation differently.
I believe that his bullies must have abused him first then realised he was too hurt so they tried to hide his body in the mats. This way it would explain all the bruises and scars on his body and explain how he ended up in the matt. The kids must have told their parents and the parents might have bribed the sheriff. Also, since he was a man of colour the sheriff must have been on the bullies parent's side.
It could be possible they hurt him while he was on the mat, and when he became unconscious they rolled it up or they wiped away any evidence of blood. Furthermore, blood may not have been found due to them not investigating the scene thoroughly enough.
I dont think they ever intended to find the truth honestly...I guess they figured they'd botch the case...try to throw money at the parents to keep them quiet but to their displeasure his family are wonderful caring people who will fight for the truth with every breath in their body it... makes my blood run cold to realize that his murder was caught on camera and they made it disappear...it will come out eventually and those animals...the ones that covered for the killers fall into thay as well.. will get theirs.
his socks are pulled off as if someone removed his shoes from his feet. he couldnt have done that himself when the shoe was inside the gym mat with him. i think someone must have attacked him, and then panicked because people could enter the gym any time and decided to hide the unconscious/dead body in the roll. if he was only passed out at that time, it would explain the official cause of death as well. not to mention the footage is missing, they didnt let the family see him for way too long, didnt return his belongings and mishandled his body after the autopsy. no respect at all, i feel sick. poor boy, and the police didnt even try to do their job properly, and after the wave of police brutality in states i cant help but think that they just didnt care or were covering it up. may his parents find out the truth :(
Based Dictator no, but Valdosta is known for being racist so it’s likely this was a murder done on basis of race, just given the town’s culture, but of course that’s not guaranteed. Maybe it could’ve been a thoughtless murder, there’s no ruling it out, but I for one agree this was a hate crime
@@alyajh Its a wrestling mat. It can bend a little. And so can the human body. Here try this. Have someone measure you from shoulder to shoulder. Then raise one of your arms as if you were reaching for something like he was. Now measure again. There's your few inches. But keep thinking it was 2 white kids that killed this kid. Great job during this toxic propaganda fueled hate fest that cnn and other bullshit news networks are doin right now
It sounds definitely like murder and that there was something shady with the police department. He could've died from asphyxiation if he was beaten and then stuffed into the mat maybe. But then I think he still would've been able to make some kind of sound to get help. Did the police officers working have any children in the school? Could've been one of them and the officer tried to make it go away to protect his/her kid. Just a thought!
Or, a student (or more) did it and the mom/dad could've been friends or having a relationship with an officer and tried to have it covered! Either way, this coverup had to be done by officials. The camera footage erased, the police being shady, the family not being allowed their rights, etc.
Oh my god Bella. I have grown up in Valdosta Georgia and graduated from Lowndes High. I went to this school at the same time this happened. If you want more information I would gladly let you know!!!!!!!
It’s reopened again I think. I swear they better figure it out this time. I can’t imagine being his mother. Those people need to come clean! They’re just spreading evil by making innocent people suffer for years.
@@Regularkatie one of them have come clean, but not to police, there was an audio tape of one of them saying that he did it and that kendrick didn’t deserve it. the tape was sold to the parents and its being used in the case.
@@trisdroddy9459 just looked, it’s all fake supposedly. So heartbreaking. This is so obviously not an accidental death. This reminds me of the Kenneka Jenkins case.
I went to college there at the university during the time this was going on. The community was outraged about the ruling for obvious reasons. You did amazing about covering all the points to this btw! His family would have gatherings in downtown Valdosta with signs just trying to get the word out, it was very heartbreaking to see. I hope one day the family will find the truth about what happened to their son but I doubt very seriously it will come from the county or state unfortunately considering the father of the two boys was an FBI agent and would find away to protect his boys. At the end of the day a human life was lost and an answer is needed.
I like how you actually search the case and find out information yourself, instead of reading one thing and taking its word. Your videos are so informative and go so in depth!
I'm so happy you did this story! When I first heard about it I was so genuinely upset and it really angers me. It was definitely murder and the fact that it wasn't really investigated is complete bull shit
yes. the funeral home took his organs out which is what they do. newspaper is the cheapest replacement tool, seeing as the family wanted a free funeral they used newspaper
@@ilovethehungergames467 his organs were removed when he was found. They did 2 autopsies and when conducting the second autopsy they realized some organs were missing
@@kalanikahandawala4888 his organs weren’t removed until after the 1st autopsy and when he was found he had all of his organs. but what’s weird is that the first ppl who did the autopsy denied removing his organs
it's a mat, not a well...if he fell in he would've been trying to claw his way out before he suffocated, and given his body width you cant just fall into a tiny tiny hole like that and get stuck if ur shoulders are wider than the hole not to mention you dont fall in with your arms by your side like that, you're not doing a damn dive. He was definitely stuffed in there either to die or already dead (probably beaten and then stuffed) and it was covered up. My bets are on the FBI father and his monster children.
dont you think that it is a bizarre and very unusual way of disposing of a body and staging it that way? why the hell would anybody go their way to STUFF A BODY INSIDE A MAT IN A SCHOOL FULL OF PEOPLE? Just doesnt make sense. It was just a very weird accident and parents didnt want to accept the way he dies.
Right? And if he couldn't reach the shoes, I'm pretty sure he would just kick the mat over and pick them up instead. And if he was stuck and in distress, he would yell for help, and couldn't he rock the mat enough to tip it over?
This occurred close to me. Many people believe that his organs were taken out and used for organ donation without his anyone's permission, you should definitely look it up.
I was so excited thinking you were giving us an extra murder mystery for the week. Then I remembered i live in Arizona where it's still 3pm Sunday and your already into Monday 😂😔
I'm so glad you shed more light on this situation, it's obvious that he was murdered and disgusting that people would cover it up. I know heaven welcomed him with opened arms! This is heartbreaking.
Before I begin, I would like to make it clear that I do believe Kendrick was murdered, and that this case was mishandled. That being said, I would just like to point out that as long as he was inverted, that's probably the reason for the appearance of bruising and bloating of his head and face. When you die, your blood follows gravity, and settles at the lowest point of your body. So, if you die on your back, you will have what looks like bruising on your back. I also have a friend that survived falling into a hole, and being inverted for hours. When she was found, and taken to the hospital, her face was bloated and bruised as if she had been beat up. If you looked at the pictures of her, you would have thought that she lost a boxing match. That's just a theory and a possible reason for that happening. I do believe he was murdered and that there was a cover up, though.
Leigh Ann Greenawalt very good point, many don't know about this fact. I also completely believe he was murdered and the private autopsy does show a blow to the back of his head. It is a shame that his parents wrongful death lawsuit was thrown out today. Time has a way of letting secrets out. People's loyalty changes. We can only hope that whoever did this did confide in someone else and someday that persons loyalty will shift and they will come forward with the truth. RIP Kendrick Johnson.
Leigh Ann Greenawalt that doesn't make sense what you said your friend was alive therfore her heart was circulating her blood so it wouldn't have pooled and looked liked bruises or we all would walk around looking bruised all the time cause we sleep on our backs we sleep on our sides our stomachs I even witnessed a guy bend over to untie his shoe and fell asleep in that position with his head hanging down and 20 minutes later when we noticed he was still in that position and woke him up his face and head was not swollen or bruised
crelodious jackson no, it does make sense. Leigh Ann is talking about someone's crown of their head being down while the bottom of their feet is toward the sky. The blood will drain toward the head/brain because the heart is not actually strong enough to pump blood all the way to the feet while the body in inverted. It makes sense if you can visualize (while a human is standing upright) that our hearts can pump blood to the brain which is a much shorter distance than our hearts to our feet. It has to do with gravity.
This is one the most detailed videos I've seen on this case, really great job! I'm from GA and for what it's worth, they're pronounced: Valdosta: Val-DAH-sta and Macon: MAY-con. I have my doubts about the report that came from Macon's coroner. Having lived in Macon for 18 years, I can confidently say it's one of the most politically corrupt places areas I've lived in. Much of Central GA, is.
THIS IS SICK ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC Reaching for his shoe???!!!! THIS IS JUST ANOTHER REASON TO NOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA NOT EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS TRUE GOD BLESS HIM 😭🙏🏼❤️
I def feel like it was a racial thing && he was jumped and beaten. They didnt mean to kill him but when they did they decided their best bet was to roll him up in the mat. Footage is missing because the school/BOE is in on it && they didnt wanna be sued or shut down. Why would he be bruised and swollen from suffocating? That does not add up at all. This is so sad cause the family just wants justice && they are getting the run around from this horrible corrupted system.
Thank you for bringing attention to this case! My oldest child went to school with Kendrick and she's always thought that he was murdered. So much is wrong with how this was handled. Oh and honey the correct pronunciation is Val-Dosta. And Macon is Makein Love your vids and appreciate all the hard work you do!!
I'm so happy it's still sunday where I live because IT'S STILL MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! I was about to get popcorn and just chill with a movie, but girl, it can wait! I love this videos! I'll just consider it your personal birthday gift for myself
OMG! 😍😍😭😭😭 Thank you so much! I love your channel so much! You're such a huge inspiration to me as a youtuber, you have no idea how much this means! I know it sounds stupid but seriously! I love you!
@@smith2096 His face was "ruined" because his body was upside down, without oxygen for close to 24 hours. Unless of course If you are talking about the pictures on the posters and billboards...In that case, the pictures were taken during an autopsy. Have you ever seen how an autopsy of the head is performed? It's not pretty.
Michael Bowman dude what's your problem ?? You've replied to so many of these comments. You seem to be a very hateful human. . . Its laughable bc of how ridiculous your comments are.
Their father was an FBI agent he could've helped get one or both of his sons off. Maybe everyone was paid off to go along with the asphyxiation story Idk. That theory makes ZERO sense.
Hi Bella!! Loving this series of Mystery Mondays! I think you should look into The Villisca Axe Murders, even though it's been almost 105 years ago since it happened, it still is one of the most intriguing unsolved cases. I'll look forward to your thoughts and theories on this case ☺️
Stay Beautiful x so because people THINK he was having sex with white whores, that means he should be killed??? Shut the fuck up you inbred failed abortion
He's only a few years older then me and from the same state as me. It breaks my heart so much. This case will always have a special place in my heart :(
And not to mention he wouldn’t have been able to wiggle out of his own shoes because you have to be able to lift your knee and leg a bit to shimmy each off and if he was supposedly stuck in a super tight mat that wouldn’t have been possible
One of those brothers is able to play college football.....idk what kind of crap organization would willingly let him play knowing all this information. Must only want to get bigger paychecks smh. Their dad being part of FBI and having them not be interviewed by police already has this being a messy situation. I believe they part of it, definitely.
A black family: our teenage child died in strange, impossible circumstances and people are being suspicious about the investigation. We believe they were murdered the cops: so....an accident?
This was no accident. The whole town need's to be burned down. Lie's from the sheriff department, the school system , and FBI. THEY HELPED ONE OF THEIR OWNS COVER IT UP FOR HIS SON'S. YOU MURDER'S WILL PAY, AND NEVER REST.
i found you on accident and im already hooked. i started watching your jonbenet case and ive been binging your other ones 🎉🎉 you are absolutely awesome in your narrations and you give a whole view of the cases 🤙🏿🤙🏿
100% believe he was beaten up and rolled up into one of the mats their would of had to have been more then one person to carry it out and stage it to make it look like an accident poor kid RIP❤️🙏🏼
Zaynah barker with camera footage tampered with they did have time to clean the scene and make it look like an accident all indicates a cover up. The FBI father has a kid who could be suspect . Justice needs to be served shit.
This is an easy case the two brothers killed him and the department covered it up the brothers father works law enforcement easy cover up. It's just sad poor kid smfh. When you work in law enforcement it's very easy to cover things up I feel sad for the family of this boy sad case that will never be resolved def foul play
But a big chunk of the surveillance footage was gone. They could have covered it up for the boys very easily. One could have went to the class after the murder and the other could have takin his own transportation to the game. Or it could have happened way before the time they stated he died. It sounds just like the sheriff department covered it up for those boys.
The suspects Father is an FBI agent... this explains everything.
Zoe S 💯
Zoe S it really does!!!! This case makes me so mad.
Zoe S agreed.
Wow! So every child born to an FBI agent should be considered guilty of all crimes?
True!!!! The father covered up their sons crime
There's no way it was an accident. One,who the hell gets stuck in an opening when they're bigger than it. Also 5 hours off the security camera? Yeah no it wasn't an accident
They are soft gym mats.. not drain pipes. Wanna try a little experiment?
Take your mouse pad and roll it into a cylinder like one of those gym mats. Leave the hole in the center the same size as a nickle. Now, take a quarter and see how easy it is to shove it down the hole sideways.
We aren't talking about a steel drain pipe. How the hell can you consider this evidence??
616Haggard it might be easy for you to SHOVE something in but that's not the case is it. Also, gym mats like this aren't that soft, they're actually pretty hard. It's just a little extra cushion. So if they're rolled up it wouldn't easily stretch or conform to his body. Try this experiment, find rolled up gym mats that are smaller than you and see if you fall all the way in them to the point your foot is barely sticking out. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have shoved himself inside the mats. And if this was the case why would there be blood and why would his hands be behind his back?

I wondered if this was about hazing gone wrong. You know, guys get mean to each other to scare or punish; only it didn't go as planned. Instead of a person coming forward, they got scared and kept quiet. Perhaps an adult employed by the school was involved due to the access to the manipulated camera footage.
Tara Nicole ikr
Why were his hands behind his back if he was reaching to get something and fell?
Sparkles101 exactly
wondering the same
They weren't. She got that wrong. One of his arms was in front of him.
what about the shoes then? this case scream foul play and cover up
Nadia intheSky I had every "open" question answered in one post. I copied it, here:
1. His arms weren't by his side but outstretched in front of him. If you don't believe me, look it up, the original video of KJ being found is here on YT. And it shows his arms above his head.
2. It is possible for his body to fit into the opening of a gym mat. Again, there is a video here on YT of a guy the same height and body structure as KJ who proves that you can perfectly fit inside it and have no chance of escaping once you are in there. Also, he proved that it was blocking screams and he described it as pure hell after only being in an averted position for a few seconds.
3. The shoes on top of his body inside the mat are not the ones he was reaching for, but the ones he was wearing for basketball. The ones he was reaching for were at the bottom of the mat. The ones on top of him slipped off of his feet when he was trying to wriggle himself upwards. That also explains why his socks were partly off.
4. There is no missing camera footage. The rumor was started by CNN who posted this information only a few days after the whole case happened. It was later found out that the time gap between the footage is due to the fact that the camera is motion activated. No other source then claimed that there was any missing footage, the CNN article is outdated.
5. The fact that his finger nails were short don't prove that there was a murder. It is also not possible to get rid of DNA by cutting of finger nails. DNA can be found in dead skin cells, single hairs, saliva, sweat, etc. If Kendrick had got beaten up, his entire body and his clothes would have been covered in DNA. Not just his fingernails. Also, you can still find DNA under short fingernails.
6. His organs weren't missing because of illegal organ trafficing. If someone dies, you have exactly 15 minutes to remove vital organs from a dead body and need to cool them immediately. Kendrick's body was found almost a day after he'd died. His body (and organs) were already decomposing.
7. It is completely normal to remove organs before a funeral. That's why the funeral home removed them. Organs decompose quickly and sometimes families wish to have an open casket at a funeral (which takes places a couple of days after someone dies). If that person still had organs inside them, the smell would be too disgusting.
8. It's an outdated, but not unusual practise to stuff a dead body with newspaper after removing the organs. Newspaper is the cheapest material and given the fact that the funeral home offered to bury Kendrick's body for free, you cannot blame them for using the cheapest method available
9. The two boys that are considered the main suspects have solid alibis. One was in class and one had already left the school one hour before KJ had died and was on his way to a different city. I know some people like to say their father is an FBI agent, but even the FBI cannot manipulate space and time. You also have witnesses that confirm both guys' alibis.
10. The FBI is a high security organisation - not a mafia. They didn't cover up a murder that didn't happen. In fact, after people started claiming both brothers were responsible for KJ's death, they raided their home and seized their phones and computers for investigation purpose. However, they found no evidence of a potential murder.
11. If you guys still believe this is a weird conspirancy of the FBI, then why did they "hide" KJ's body at the school gym where it was practically begging to be found after supposedly having commited the perfect crime with no evidence? That doesn't make sense.
12. Kendrick's body was bloated due to the fact that blood had rushed down when he was in a averted position. In that position even a small cut can result in a major bleeding, and you start bleeding from your nose and vomit. And all of that - vomit, blood from the mouth and nose - were found at Kendrick's body. However, none of that resulted from a punch to the face or anything like that.
13. The second coroner that was paid by the Johnson's (who has the worst reputation one can have and was even suspended from the state for his unethical actions) ruled that Kendrick died from blunt force trauma due to a one inch bruise on his neck. Nothing else. He doesn't even claim that Kendrick was beaten up in his autopsy report. And it doesn't make sense as a bruise is not something that causes heavy bleeding or death to begin with.
it's INSANE that anyone thinks this isn't murder
Why? How can you hear a scream through 18inches of layered foam mats?
@@tecumsehcristero the mats were rolled into a tube. There were holes at each end. His shoulders were too wide. He couldn't have gotten in himself.

Valdosta is a very small town surrounded by other smaller towns. Racism still is very evident there. My family is from there. This was not an accident
Micheal Bowman The people that come to Valdosta are from the city, not from the surrounding cities. Enigma, Nashville and alapaha, cities that surround Valdosta, cities that people rarely hear about. Small towns where Racism still exist. So before giving stats do some research. Valdosta is growing cities but if it wasn't for the college it would be and it still can be considered a small town

Stay Beautiful x wow. You will get yours. You must know something.
It's very suspicious that he was walking in the hall then the footage skips and all of a sudden he's running and is running into the gym with other boys running after him. I think that these people beat him up and hid him in the mat to cover up their tracks. Also I think the police and sheriff were related to one or some of the children that beat him up, so they erased the footage as best as possible without it looking too noticeable.
Jim Moran 2:22
Click the 2:22
Jim Moran He does run into the gym and the other boys run after him.
Maybe they intended people to see him? Like as a 'warning' to black people?? How is this so messed up
Sara where did you see that? def not in the past she shows from about 1:55 to 2:35. KJ goes puff to the left.... then a white girl hanging walking with 2 black boys ::gasp:: come into frame next, but they are clearly walking straight out together - aka in a different direction. They may show up on camera after he does, but they are certainly not after him!
This is disgusting. I am horrified and I pray that the sick people who did this, will be caught. I can't imagine how the family feels.

Coming from someone who lives in valdosta, and went to Lowndes High, and was there the day they found Kendrick... I believed he was murdered from the minute the case opened. They handled everything so unorganized and incorrectly. It still makes me so sad to this day, even though I didn't know Kendrick personally. I feel so bad for his family.

my theory: one of the bell brothers did it. told their fbi dad. fbi dad got a hold of the tapes, erased some clips. made it look like an accident, and had the sheriffs in on it as well.
That's exactly what happened.:(
What's the bell brothers
@@jennyy1419 2 brothers who bullied Kendrick and probably killed him too.
@@missyaz4959 The Bell brothers have airtight alibis supported by hundreds of witnesses and video evidence. One of them is on camera in class on the complete opposite side of the school when Kendrick went into the gym, and the other was at an away game 3 hours away. You can't be in 2 places at once. There is no physical way that they had anything to do with this.
The footage also is not missing. They were motion detectors, the camera picked KJ up when he was walking into the gym, and then stopped because no one else went in or came out. The footage resumed when the bell rang and students were walking in the halls again.
@@Rose-oh4mc BS one brother was in class but have you heard of a bathroom break and the other brother said himself he was getting ready to go somewhere there's video of him changing clothes
Second the videos were missing a lot of time according to this women she said 1 hr and 5 mins i think and other for 2 hrs
And in the video it shows a kid shooting hoops
So why didn't the camera pick him up going into the gym
And they're father is in the FBI 😂 cover up all the way
This young black boy was definitely murdered. Just like Kenneka Jenkins case.
im so mad how both cases have been ruled "accidental" when theyre both clearly murder. Both Kendrick and Kenneka deserve justice

Tati B :((((
Cindy Gonzalez exactly, it’s so sad
Tati B Exactly what I thought her death affected me and I didn't even know her it was 💯 murder
*First autopsy police declared it was accidental. (Accidental,positional, asphyxia)
* Second autopsy: blunt force trauma.
* body was stuffed with newspaper instead of cotton or sawdust to replace internal organs during autopsy.
* 1 hour 5 min was taken off of one camera / 2 hours 10 min was taken off another + edited
* Best friend of Kendrick was sent Facebook threat 'that he to could end up in a body bag' just hours after death.
* When walking through the scene the investigators didn't cover their shoes like your supposed to so the scene was contaminated.
* Then his mom reported it to a detective from Lowndes County Sheriffs Office, but of course they quickly downplayed it. The officer said "There was nothing to worry about because they knew where he was."
* Cop refused to talk to cameras about Kendrick because he just 'didn't want to', made them leave as soon as they asked just after inviting them in.
* Other people where in the gym
* The shoe he was was 'trying to get' when he 'accidentally suffocated' was on top of blood with no blood on it.
* Investigators didn't take DNA test off the blood on the wall to see who's it was since it wasn't Kendrick's.
* They also didn't take in a jacket with blood looking stains into evidence for testing.
* The hole inside the mat is 14.5 inches, Kendrick's shoulders are 19 inches wide so he can't just FALL or SLIP in it.
* Didn't officially declare Kendrick's death until 6 hours after the first officer arrived even though he was clearly dead.
* If he was actually stuck he obviously would have yelled out for help since people came in the gym 3 minutes after he did or would have been heard struggling.
* Kendrick's grandfather asked to see his body because Kendrick's father was in Pennsylvania at the time of the death but the Sheriffs Department wouldn't let him see the body despite Georgia Law that states 'a body must be released within 24 hours if requested if there's no official foul play involved.' Then when Kendrick's father got back they also denied him of seeing the body.
* His father described him as having swollen lips, blackened skin, bruises all over his body, short fingernails (he always kept them long), scratches on his hand, discoloration on his face, and more injuries all over his body.
* The man who transported the corpse signed off on saying that all of Kendrick's clothes were with him. Said that there were 3 tshirts, black pair of shorts, pair of pants, boxers and pair of socks. He said all of this was with the body when he was transporting him from Makkhan to Valdosta. Georgia law states that all of the clothing must be returned back to the family, but all they received was a pair of broken earphones. Later revealed that the clothes were missing.
* They weren't given any organs and the police said the organs were destroyed by a natural process and discarded.
* Brian and Brandon became suspects because of how they treated Kendrick and their father was the FBI agent and immediately got them lawyers and told them not to speak to anybody. They were the only two out of everyone to have an interview with the police.
I'm no investigator or anything but I'd say this is a murder. I really really hope that one day the truth will come out because no family or human deserves what they had to go through. It was a couple years ago but rip Kendrick.
Michael Bowman I'm just looking at the facts. Almost nobody in the comments are an actual investigator. And he died on January 11, 2013 so yes it was a couple years ago.
Michael Bowman okay lmao assume what you want, I honestly couldn't care less what you think. I don't understand why your being over dramatic about me saying a couple years ago instead of the exact date :/ chill out and find something better to do with your time other than commenting on one little mistake. If you don't think it's a murder then comment and move on. Don't make a big deal over such a little thing.
Michael Bowman Okay if you don't believe stuff I said then simply go do your own research. I don't even know who you are and I'm not going to keep arguing with you. I see your point and I'm sorry for not putting the date in I didn't think it mattered but it does and that's my fault. I was just trying to put my thoughts out there and so are you. i really dont wanna keep arguing over this so goodbye I hope you have a nice day
Michael Bowman The FIRST autopsy said accidental. The SECOND one said blunt force trauma. I'm not sick the only reason I even did all this research in the first place was because of how messed up I felt the whole situation was and I wanted to know the truth. Those are all the facts I found and I THINK it's a murder. If you think it's an accident GOOD FOR YOU! like coooool I don't give a damn. Comment your opinion and move on. I tried being nice but your honestly getting annoying as hell. nobody including me prefer him be fucking murdered. his own family thinks there was more to it than just an 'accident'. But they obviously wouldn't of prefer their son be freaking murdered. NOBODY DOES. All everybody wants is to know the truth and for there to be justice for him and his family. Now like I said GOODBYE AND HAVE A NICE DAY.
Also, the coroner wasn't called on the scene until 4-5 hours later. When there is a dead body involved, the coroner is supposed to be the FIRST one on the scene. It's been a few years but this still makes me so sad. I was a junior at LHS when it happened. I wish his family could get some justice.
YES I NEEDED A NEW ONE IM ADDICTED

Poor baby... Hopefully the truth comes out for his family's sake
Wow. This is one of the sickest and saddest things I've ever heard. I do not know what happened, but something is very very wrong with the whole situation. Whether it was murder or an accident, I think the police and investigators handled it the completely wrong way. I feel like before they even knew if it was an accident or murder, they immediately started working to cover things up or sweep things under the rug. & for what reason though? That is how these "good ol' boy'' police officers work down here in the South. There is a reason why footage was missing and more importantly, why they would not allow the family to see the boy for so long. Reminds me of something that happened right here in my hometown in Thorsby, AL about 6-8 months ago. A man name Neil Wade (my husband's 2nd cousin who he grew up with his whole life) randomly went missing. They searched for him "supposedly" for several weeks (around 6 wks). They searched all over his mother's property, as well as his grandmothers property among other places. Finally, after 6 wks missing, his grandmother reported smelling a foul smell out behind her house and when the police arrived, they found Neil about 50 yards behind her house, sitting at the base of a tree, with a rope around his neck and his hands were cut off. The police ruled it a suicide, stating that he used the rope to asphyxiate himself and committed suicide. It makes no sense. How do you commit suicide with your hands cut off and how can one cut both of their own hands off. Also, his grandmother's property had been searched within the first 2 wks. There is no way they wouldn't have found his body that close to her home. It is truly sad. He was a drug addict and a black man so it seems like the police really didn't want to put in any effort to investigate it any further or possibly they were involved. It wouldn't surprise me at all.
Kenetrice Nichole Jesus! That sounds horrific. I couldn't imagine if He was a family member of mine, to know that the police just gave up on finding his killer and called it an accident.
The Johnson family needs to sue Valdosta and every single citizen that lives there for standing by and letting this injustice occur.
Josh Mangum They kind of did. They filed a lawsuit of 1mil towards about 38 people including a few of Kendrick's friends and also the two boys accused (with the FBI father). They have since taken back the lawsuit considering that both boys accused actually had strong alibis at the time of the crime. The boys were aimed primarily because their father was an FBI. The Johnsons are currently being sued for about $850,000 for attorney fees and about 1mil for defamation towards the Bells' family.
Michael Bowman my bad. I got the lawsuits mixed up.
Michael Bowman Family trying to get that money, don't give a fuck about their son. Unbelievable.
I remember hearing about this case when Kendrick first died. This was a murder and quite possibly racially charged as well. When I read last year that there were no convictions for his death I cried my eyes out. The police department was sloppy, they didn't thoroughly investigate, the crime scene was tampered with before officials arrived,.. My heart goes out to his family and anyone else affected by his death #JusticeForKendrick
as for the short fingernails, I think that they were cut afterwards maybe during the autopsy, because of the fact that dna evidence could be found under the fingernails. Maybe someone else's blood or skin, particles of clothing or other things..... Such a sad case
kela najera when medical examiners get DNA from a deceased persons nails they do not ever cut the nail. They take the wooden cuticle sticks the things that look like giant toothpicks and they scrape under the nails with it.
Anna C yes that's why I'm saying that they were cut to hide some piece of evidence, why else would they be significantly shorter so that the father would notice?
But his father got to see the body before the autopsy so Kendricks nails were short before the autopsy was ever performed.
one of those bullies dad's was an fbi agent, I think they might have cut the fingernail before the body was autopsied to protect his identity which also lines up with why they held on to his body for six hours, because they could have been destroying evidence.
kela najera they hadn't taken the body for autopsy yet
The fact that he fell in is even a theory is a huge insult to all of our intelligence!
On God boy got beat to death

I am actually from the city this happened in. Kendrick’s parents always stand at a corner downtown with posters with pictures of his face after he had died. His face was really messed up. There is no way that he suffocated. I honestly believe that the two boys dad, who was the first cop to arrive on the scene, covered it up for his sons. It’s honestly a really sad story and is heartbreaking that the family still has no answers for their sons death and Kendrick has had no justice. #LongLiveKJ ❤️
It is a very sad horrific story and I hope justice does get served on whomever murdered the poor young man but what gets me is how so many people calling out the dad ect.. but they don't put themselves in HIS shoes (father) If you had a son that was doing good in school and great athlete and scholarships, rest of his life ahead of him and he accidentally kills a fellow classmate (sure he didn't intend to kill him) but for all intents an purposes let's say i.e. your child "accidentally" kills another kid, whom has his whole life ahead of him and you have a chance to "save" your kids life because that's basically it, his life is over , rest of it in prison , would you turn your child into the police..?? Honestly.. I mean if my kid was a drug addict pos person and killed some innocent person hell yeah I would not help him out. But 1 mistake like this and both lives are gone not just the 1.. It is Fd up I know and neither are my kids and it is sad and I hope the murderer gets punished but I'm just saying, the father isn't the one to blame.. He's doing what 97% of fathers would do for the love of their own..
You don't understand what happens to a persons' face when they are left upside down. All the blood goes to the head. It is horrible.
Kaitlyn Greene I live here too I stand with them
Where did you get your information? His dad is a retired F.B.I. agent. He wasn't the first officer at the scene.
I called the lowndes county sheriff's department to ask about the case and they refused to comment. 30 mins later they were at my house asking for me. They told me their version of the story and that the case was closed. Also they said to to believe what j see on the Internet
The dad of the two boys is an FBI agent... he can cover up his sons footprints
Tara Devane exactly!
Yup. The organs being removed & the videos being tampered has government cover up written all over it.
Georgia is a racist fucking state. Full of dumb hicks who all know each other
And Georgia is full of dumb hicks no it's not that's your family brown people and black shouldn't fuck around it's not California or new year
Stay Beautiful x sooo a teenager should be killed for screwing around ... seems like probable cause to me .. 🙄🙄🙄
We covered this story in our English class and it really opened our eyes on how shady the justice system can be. Those poor parents
How do u get bloody and suffocate. Like seriously. You were either beaten and stuffed in, or you were put in there and suffocated. Georgia is a VERY racist state. Trust me, I lived and went to school here. This is tooo much evidence PROOVING foul play. Like. Where did the blood come from? This is Terrible. I hope more attention is brought on this case until everyone involved is brought to justice.
U should be a detective if makeup doesn't work out. seriously.
MIZZBHAVED09 i agrre Georgia is so racist i lived in Tenn so close to Georgia i can walk ten minutes and i would already be in Georgia Tenn is also racist practically the whole south glad i moved back to California its horrible
Jayy Valerio definitely. It's a shame how minority cases are treated down south especially.
I don't think that Kendrick was killed as an act against him because of his race. But I do feel like if Kendrick was white the police would have handled the situation differently.
And let's not leave out.. if Kendrick was *white*, this would've never been plastered all over the news.
I believe that his bullies must have abused him first then realised he was too hurt so they tried to hide his body in the mats. This way it would explain all the bruises and scars on his body and explain how he ended up in the matt. The kids must have told their parents and the parents might have bribed the sheriff. Also, since he was a man of colour the sheriff must have been on the bullies parent's side.
amrita bamra
yea i agree with you
Bingo
It could be possible they hurt him while he was on the mat, and when he became unconscious they rolled it up or they wiped away any evidence of blood. Furthermore, blood may not have been found due to them not investigating the scene thoroughly enough.
Molly if it was accident why was his windpipe, finger Neils brain and tang missing?
I dont think they ever intended to find the truth honestly...I guess they figured they'd botch the case...try to throw money at the parents to keep them quiet but to their displeasure his family are wonderful caring people who will fight for the truth with every breath in their body it... makes my blood run cold to realize that his murder was caught on camera and they made it disappear...it will come out eventually and those animals...the ones that covered for the killers fall into thay as well.. will get theirs.
his socks are pulled off as if someone removed his shoes from his feet. he couldnt have done that himself when the shoe was inside the gym mat with him. i think someone must have attacked him, and then panicked because people could enter the gym any time and decided to hide the unconscious/dead body in the roll. if he was only passed out at that time, it would explain the official cause of death as well. not to mention the footage is missing, they didnt let the family see him for way too long, didnt return his belongings and mishandled his body after the autopsy. no respect at all, i feel sick. poor boy, and the police didnt even try to do their job properly, and after the wave of police brutality in states i cant help but think that they just didnt care or were covering it up. may his parents find out the truth :(
i want to believe n
WillFanofMany still on but a little bit pulled out, like when you take off your shoes carelessly
This was a hate crime.
So every time a black person gets killed, it's a hate crime?
Tera Ashley another black person tying to bring race into everything
Based Dictator no, but Valdosta is known for being racist so it’s likely this was a murder done on basis of race, just given the town’s culture, but of course that’s not guaranteed. Maybe it could’ve been a thoughtless murder, there’s no ruling it out, but I for one agree this was a hate crime
Or it was a kid falling into a wrestling mat and suffering a tragic accident and people want it so badly to be a murder it is quite horrendous
Yes it was smh may he rip
How the heck will he fall through a 4inch hole??
hind khamis right like how does that even make sense. This case still annoys me
It wasn'ta 4 inch hole. It was 14 inches
Bob M still, he’s 19 inches from shoulders length so how can that happen
@@alyajh Its a wrestling mat. It can bend a little. And so can the human body. Here try this. Have someone measure you from shoulder to shoulder. Then raise one of your arms as if you were reaching for something like he was. Now measure again. There's your few inches. But keep thinking it was 2 white kids that killed this kid. Great job during this toxic propaganda fueled hate fest that cnn and other bullshit news networks are doin right now
@@bobm9485 it was obviously a murder
You should do two of these videos a week!! I'm obsessed!!!
Wow. I hope he's resting in peace and his family is ok. I've never heard of this story /: family is in my prayers
Lorie Estrada
yeah same sadly
they lost the wrongful death suit and now have to pay all the fees
Camerah Kay Stories wait really?? wtfff im so mad and disgusted right now. i hope theres a gofundme or something to help them out.
Audrey I haven't heard of anything but I would hope as well for whatever reason his death is not in the media as much as others
thinking kendrick was head first in a mat for 21 hours and there was vomit and blood, gives me a headache
It sounds definitely like murder and that there was something shady with the police department. He could've died from asphyxiation if he was beaten and then stuffed into the mat maybe. But then I think he still would've been able to make some kind of sound to get help. Did the police officers working have any children in the school? Could've been one of them and the officer tried to make it go away to protect his/her kid. Just a thought!
Or, a student (or more) did it and the mom/dad could've been friends or having a relationship with an officer and tried to have it covered! Either way, this coverup had to be done by officials. The camera footage erased, the police being shady, the family not being allowed their rights, etc.
I agree with you!! Good theory
Oh my god Bella. I have grown up in Valdosta Georgia and graduated from Lowndes High. I went to this school at the same time this happened. If you want more information I would gladly let you know!!!!!!!
Jayla Eddy me too I still live in Valdosta, and like in lowndes county
Jayla Eddy I live close to Valdosta, small world :). But wow, that must've been crazy to be attending Lowndes hs when this happened !
Jayla Eddy dang that's crazy. What other information do you have?
Following this post lol sorry for the random comment
I would like more information please!
I hope they get enough petitions during this blm movement to re open the case!!
theyre reopening it!!
It’s reopened again I think. I swear they better figure it out this time. I can’t imagine being his mother. Those people need to come clean! They’re just spreading evil by making innocent people suffer for years.
@@Regularkatie one of them have come clean, but not to police, there was an audio tape of one of them saying that he did it and that kendrick didn’t deserve it. the tape was sold to the parents and its being used in the case.
@@trisdroddy9459 just looked, it’s all fake supposedly. So heartbreaking. This is so obviously not an accidental death. This reminds me of the Kenneka Jenkins case.
It’s been open now thnx goodness
I went to college there at the university during the time this was going on. The community was outraged about the ruling for obvious reasons. You did amazing about covering all the points to this btw! His family would have gatherings in downtown Valdosta with signs just trying to get the word out, it was very heartbreaking to see. I hope one day the family will find the truth about what happened to their son but I doubt very seriously it will come from the county or state unfortunately considering the father of the two boys was an FBI agent and would find away to protect his boys. At the end of the day a human life was lost and an answer is needed.
I like how you actually search the case and find out information yourself, instead of reading one thing and taking its word. Your videos are so informative and go so in depth!
I'm so happy you did this story! When I first heard about it I was so genuinely upset and it really angers me. It was definitely murder and the fact that it wasn't really investigated is complete bull shit
His organs being taken out and then the body being stuffed with newspaper, people still think it’s an accident???
yes. the funeral home took his organs out which is what they do. newspaper is the cheapest replacement tool, seeing as the family wanted a free funeral they used newspaper
@@ilovethehungergames467 his organs were removed when he was found. They did 2 autopsies and when conducting the second autopsy they realized some organs were missing
@@kalanikahandawala4888 no they were not. the funeral home literally said themselves that that is what they do
@@ilovethehungergames467 and you belive them little sheep.
@@kalanikahandawala4888 his organs weren’t removed until after the 1st autopsy and when he was found he had all of his organs. but what’s weird is that the first ppl who did the autopsy denied removing his organs
Have you heard about the Kenneka Jenkins case....her story is very similar to Kendrick Johnson
Please investigate as well
Omg yes! :(
Yessss
it's a mat, not a well...if he fell in he would've been trying to claw his way out before he suffocated, and given his body width you cant just fall into a tiny tiny hole like that and get stuck if ur shoulders are wider than the hole not to mention you dont fall in with your arms by your side like that, you're not doing a damn dive. He was definitely stuffed in there either to die or already dead (probably beaten and then stuffed) and it was covered up. My bets are on the FBI father and his monster children.
ilikemonkeys there were nail marks in the mat to indicate he did try to pull himself out.
dont you think that it is a bizarre and very unusual way of disposing of a body and staging it that way? why the hell would anybody go their way to STUFF A BODY INSIDE A MAT IN A SCHOOL FULL OF PEOPLE? Just doesnt make sense. It was just a very weird accident and parents didnt want to accept the way he dies.
Sara D if you’re fucking insane enough to KILL someone, rolling their dead or almost dead body in a mat isn’t too “bizarre.” Dumbass
Right? And if he couldn't reach the shoes, I'm pretty sure he would just kick the mat over and pick them up instead. And if he was stuck and in distress, he would yell for help, and couldn't he rock the mat enough to tip it over?
This occurred close to me. Many people believe that his organs were taken out and used for organ donation without his anyone's permission, you should definitely look it up.
Didn't they stuff him with newspaper?
Beth Frazer yes.
Donation? I think not, Stolen purposely and black listed most definitely.
for organs to be viable they have to be removed within a certain amount of time
Yes! this was relatively close to me too and i remember hearing about that when it happened! i heard it was gang related and some sort of symbolic
I was so excited thinking you were giving us an extra murder mystery for the week. Then I remembered i live in Arizona where it's still 3pm Sunday and your already into Monday 😂😔
Valarie De Alejandro Haha omg same!
Will there ever be justice for Black people? :(
Yes
no
Yessss!!!
I’t doesn’t look like it will be
:(
I'm so glad you shed more light on this situation, it's obvious that he was murdered and disgusting that people would cover it up. I know heaven welcomed him with opened arms! This is heartbreaking.
you must do the zodiac killer next!! what is your theory on this?
Tessa Howard yesss
I second this
Tessa Howard you should check out the buzz feed video on this!
actually i still try to figure out the Z.K codes from time to time also the other unsolved codes related to treasure not found
ted cruz
Before I begin, I would like to make it clear that I do believe Kendrick was murdered, and that this case was mishandled. That being said, I would just like to point out that as long as he was inverted, that's probably the reason for the appearance of bruising and bloating of his head and face. When you die, your blood follows gravity, and settles at the lowest point of your body. So, if you die on your back, you will have what looks like bruising on your back. I also have a friend that survived falling into a hole, and being inverted for hours. When she was found, and taken to the hospital, her face was bloated and bruised as if she had been beat up. If you looked at the pictures of her, you would have thought that she lost a boxing match. That's just a theory and a possible reason for that happening. I do believe he was murdered and that there was a cover up, though.
Leigh Ann Greenawalt very good point, many don't know about this fact. I also completely believe he was murdered and the private autopsy does show a blow to the back of his head. It is a shame that his parents wrongful death lawsuit was thrown out today. Time has a way of letting secrets out. People's loyalty changes. We can only hope that whoever did this did confide in someone else and someday that persons loyalty will shift and they will come forward with the truth. RIP Kendrick Johnson.
Leigh Ann Greenawalt that doesn't make sense what you said your friend was alive therfore her heart was circulating her blood so it wouldn't have pooled and looked liked bruises or we all would walk around looking bruised all the time cause we sleep on our backs we sleep on our sides our stomachs I even witnessed a guy bend over to untie his shoe and fell asleep in that position with his head hanging down and 20 minutes later when we noticed he was still in that position and woke him up his face and head was not swollen or bruised
crelodious jackson no, it does make sense. Leigh Ann is talking about someone's crown of their head being down while the bottom of their feet is toward the sky. The blood will drain toward the head/brain because the heart is not actually strong enough to pump blood all the way to the feet while the body in inverted.
It makes sense if you can visualize (while a human is standing upright) that our hearts can pump blood to the brain which is a much shorter distance than our hearts to our feet. It has to do with gravity.
crelodious jackson it does make sense.
Hmm but his windpipe brain tang and finger Neils was missing...
This is one the most detailed videos I've seen on this case, really great job! I'm from GA and for what it's worth, they're pronounced: Valdosta: Val-DAH-sta and Macon: MAY-con.
I have my doubts about the report that came from Macon's coroner. Having lived in Macon for 18 years, I can confidently say it's one of the most politically corrupt places areas I've lived in. Much of Central GA, is.
It's was definitely a murder
THIS IS SICK
ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC
Reaching for his shoe???!!!!
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER REASON TO NOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA NOT EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS TRUE
GOD BLESS HIM 😭🙏🏼❤️
omg your eyes are like a sunrise
Nanna Emilie it's soo pretty
Ketut!
They need to reopen this case.
They finally did and im so glad, I really hope the family get the truth this time.
This is my fave thing to watch on a Sunday night, look forward to it all week 😊
I love you Bella!! Could you have a look into the Casey Anthony case please? Keep up the good work girl!💓💓💓
OMFGGG YOU DID IT😭 I've been waiting on someone to talk about this
Btw, your eyeshadow is BEAUTIFUL 😍
wow this is shady af
I'm so glad that you didn't include the very graphic pictures. I am super sensitive to that type of stuff and get sick
I'm a new watcher binging your murder vids I'm obsessed
I def feel like it was a racial thing && he was jumped and beaten. They didnt mean to kill him but when they did they decided their best bet was to roll him up in the mat. Footage is missing because the school/BOE is in on it && they didnt wanna be sued or shut down. Why would he be bruised and swollen from suffocating? That does not add up at all. This is so sad cause the family just wants justice && they are getting the run around from this horrible corrupted system.
Georgia is one of the most racists states in all of America
Thank you for bringing attention to this case! My oldest child went to school with Kendrick and she's always thought that he was murdered. So much is wrong with how this was handled. Oh and honey the correct pronunciation is Val-Dosta. And Macon is Makein Love your vids and appreciate all the hard work you do!!
This case makes me so upset ☹️ Specially as somebody that was raised in Georgia ...I know just how strong racism is down here !
Laura Andrade
hmm yes my sweet cherry pie i understand dont worry i shall protect you hunny xx
Laura Andrade it was hard to hear especially I live in middle Georgia and it still way showing it was murder .
Laura Andrade yeah I'm live in GA too:( it sucks how some people are racist down here...
Kaitlynn Mcewen and the further south you go in Georgia the worse it gets /:
Yup! Sadly!!!! It's hard to take racism out of the south
I seriously am so addicted to these videos
I'm so happy it's still sunday where I live because IT'S STILL MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
I was about to get popcorn and just chill with a movie, but girl, it can wait! I love this videos!
I'll just consider it your personal birthday gift for myself
Happy birthday angel!!! 💛
btw, I know this is the makeup from the nyx tutorial
But it's so popping!
Im trying to listen to you, instead I'm looking at your eyeshadow!
OMG! 😍😍😭😭😭
Thank you so much! I love your channel so much! You're such a huge inspiration to me as a youtuber, you have no idea how much this means! I know it sounds stupid but seriously!
I love you!
Rita Makeup HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Thank you :)
Everything about it is weird specially the fact that coincidentally both cameras stopped working for 1-2 hours and all the trauma caused to his body.
All the trauma? What trauma? He had a neck injury that wasnt fatal and his face was full of blood. His face wasnt the result of being beaten to death
Bob M are you serious his face was ruined
@@pndgetsmewetter because he was upside down and dead. thats what happens
Exactly even the time that they turned off and turned back on we’re almost the same
@@smith2096 His face was "ruined" because his body was upside down, without oxygen for close to 24 hours. Unless of course If you are talking about the pictures on the posters and billboards...In that case, the pictures were taken during an autopsy. Have you ever seen how an autopsy of the head is performed? It's not pretty.
Finally someone doing one of theses videos on African Americans❤️
Michael Bowman dude what's your problem ?? You've replied to so many of these comments. You seem to be a very hateful human. . . Its laughable bc of how ridiculous your comments are.
Michael Bowman nothing is ever that serious, honestly. Don't forget to take deep breathes every once in a while.
Michael Bowman can you shut the fuck up? I've seen you on more than enough comments being rude. Get a life
Diamond Cole ❤️💔KENDRICK JOHNSON, ✊🏾🙏🏾
ashandblake racist much?
Do a video on Raudha Athif, the Vouge model.
Jess Mart YES I was just reading about that!
Their father was an FBI agent he could've helped get one or both of his sons off. Maybe everyone was paid off to go along with the asphyxiation story Idk. That theory makes ZERO sense.
This is so cruel it's obvious someone killed the kid.
Hi Bella!! Loving this series of Mystery Mondays! I think you should look into The Villisca Axe Murders, even though it's been almost 105 years ago since it happened, it still is one of the most intriguing unsolved cases. I'll look forward to your thoughts and theories on this case ☺️
If the two suspects were black then they would have been arrested right away
Where depends if they was on camera like these guys was but if the guy wasn't going around fucking other people's girlfriends might not have happened
Stay Beautiful x no reason to kill someone and he was “flirting” no actual sexual actions so think before u speak
Stay Beautiful x so because people THINK he was having sex with white whores, that means he should be killed??? Shut the fuck up you inbred failed abortion
Jenna Dameron so true 👏🏾
Race baiters be race baiting
This whole case is so upsetting it sickens me
He's only a few years older then me and from the same state as me. It breaks my heart so much. This case will always have a special place in my heart :(
How do u explain the pair of shoes by his feet like someone placed them there....
And not to mention he wouldn’t have been able to wiggle out of his own shoes because you have to be able to lift your knee and leg a bit to shimmy each off and if he was supposedly stuck in a super tight mat that wouldn’t have been possible
One of those brothers is able to play college football.....idk what kind of crap organization would willingly let him play knowing all this information. Must only want to get bigger paychecks smh. Their dad being part of FBI and having them not be interviewed by police already has this being a messy situation. I believe they part of it, definitely.
Prunelle Vundi
He attended FSU and from my understanding he was kicked off (and out of the school I believe) as soon as they found out
guys whats his name????? the kid and I'm furious
Vontique87 the Bell kids got accepted to play but was declined later by FSU.
They should both be able to play college football, because they had nothing to do with Kendrick's death.
Gareth White what information do you have that says otherwise
A black family: our teenage child died in strange, impossible circumstances and people are being suspicious about the investigation. We believe they were murdered
the cops: so....an accident?
This was no accident. The whole town need's to be burned down. Lie's from the sheriff department, the school system , and FBI. THEY HELPED ONE OF THEIR OWNS COVER IT UP FOR HIS SON'S. YOU MURDER'S WILL PAY, AND NEVER REST.
this was a murder especially if there is footage missing and nothings add up, to much evidence to show it was an accident
I know some people who went to this school when it happened and everybody thinks he was murdered.
i found you on accident and im already hooked. i started watching your jonbenet case and ive been binging your other ones 🎉🎉
you are absolutely awesome in your narrations and you give a whole view of the cases 🤙🏿🤙🏿
17 years old?! Imagine all the things he could have Perseud in his life 🤦🏾♀️😭
Your makeup is bomb 😍 & I’m glad you’re getting this tragic case out there 🙌🏽
you should do a video on the crazy death of gloria ramirez because that is one of the strangest unsolved cases i've ever come across!
hallucinations I agree
hallucinations YASSSSS
BELLA YOUR MAKEUP IS STUNNING WHAT
This family needs justice I feel so bad for them
That sheriff is full of bs! I don't know what happened, but he didn't even bother investigating
So sad and messed up. Definitely a murder. Poor boy and his family 😔
Even thought it's Monday for you it's Sunday for me lol Sunday nights are my fav because of these videos❤
lol it's so cute how she says Macon and Valdosta😂 being from Georgia it's so funny
100% believe he was beaten up and rolled up into one of the mats their would of had to have been more then one person to carry it out and stage it to make it look like an accident poor kid RIP❤️🙏🏼
Zaynah barker with camera footage tampered with they did have time to clean the scene and make it look like an accident all indicates a cover up. The FBI father has a kid who could be suspect . Justice needs to be served shit.
I know this is an old video but I have been addicted to your mystery videos. I’ve been watching them for like 3 days straight 😂
He was killed by an FBI agent's kid. Interesting and shady af.
This is an easy case the two brothers killed him and the department covered it up the brothers father works law enforcement easy cover up. It's just sad poor kid smfh. When you work in law enforcement it's very easy to cover things up I feel sad for the family of this boy sad case that will never be resolved def foul play
But a big chunk of the surveillance footage was gone. They could have covered it up for the boys very easily. One could have went to the class after the murder and the other could have takin his own transportation to the game. Or it could have happened way before the time they stated he died. It sounds just like the sheriff department covered it up for those boys.
SO glad this case is finally getting the recognition this deserves
