BACKGROUND: (Previous POST: "Jelani, an Alabama A&M graduate and an Illinois State University grad student was last seen at Beyond Hello Cannabis Dispensary in Bloomington, IL on August 24. His vehicle was found just two days later in a wooded area in Peru, Illinois, nearly 60 miles away. On September 4, an unidentified body was found in the river in LaSalle County, Illinois. It was determined to be Jelani on September 23. On October 26, police told the public Jelani's cause of death was drowning with no signs of homicide. Throughout this investigation, Jelani's cellphone has been missing, along with any clues it might hold. Now, his mother says it’s been found, it’s in police custody and Jelani's family wants a say in the upcoming process. Someone who's been leading the fight, pushing for answers surrounding Jelani's disappearance and death is his mother, Carmen Bolden Day and she joins us again."
