Hey Cruel Coven!
Well, hello. We're back from our hiatus and we've changed a lot of the way we'll be going about recording future cases. Today we're talking about the Jelani Day case. The two of us are from about an hour away from where Jelani was last seen and we were shocked that it wasn't all over our news and being talked about, so we decided to do the best we could to bring this case more traction. Please listen and share so we can help find this family some answers. They also have a GoFundMe that is linked below.
We're also talking briefly about a woman named Lauren Smith-Fields. Her gofundme is also listed below. Please consider sharing Jelani and Lauren's info to help these families get the justice they deserve.

If you know anything about what happened to Jelani, or had contact with Jelani in the days and weeks before his disappearance, please contact Bloomington Police Detective Paul Jones at (309)434-2548 or email him at pjones@cityblm.org.
JAB Professional Services has also been hired to assist the police. Information regarding Jelani’s disappearance can be emailed/texted to Beliveaups@yahoo.com 618-223-0044
Anonymously report information to the Jelani Day Joint Task Force at 1-800-CALL-FBI
As of now, Jelani’s family still says they haven’t been contacted by the FBI and they’re still pushing for them to take over Jelani’s case.
