But most law enforcement officers believed Chris had either taken his own life or accidentally fallen into the river. Chris's parents were devastated. They believed foul play was involved, so they contacted Kevin Gannon at GDI. And Kevin agreed. He believed Chris Jenkins was murdered. Kevin and his investigators pointed to a few different pieces of evidence.

According to the search dog handlers, the bloodhounds had followed Chris's scent from Lone Tree Bar to a parking garage, where a small amount of blood was found. From there, the scent led to the middle of the street, and then it was gone. This suggested Chris may have been driven away in a car.

The Bloodhounds didn't, however, detect Chris' scent on the bridge from which police theorized Chris either jumped or fell. He was also not spotted on video footage from the bridge, or anywhere nearby for that matter. Second, Chris had a high level of GHB in his blood, higher than what occurs naturally during decomposition, according to Kevin Gannon.

The evidence led Kevin to believe that Chris Jenkins had been drugged, abducted and driven away in a van, held for a period of time, then suffocated and placed in the river.

To date, I can't find any records of a smiley face. But in 2006, Minneapolis police announced something shocking. Chris's death had been reclassified as a homicide. Authorities said the change was due to information gathered from inmate testimony in an interview with an eyewitness. But they didn't offer more details.

They did, however, apologize to his parents for mistakes made during the investigation. Later, Milwaukee Magazine reported an informant told police a man named Jeremy Alford had boasted about killing Chris Jenkins. And he didn't have an alibi for Halloween 2002. He was supposed to meet with his sister for trick-or-treating, but didn't show.

He and his brother Luis had been convicted of the murder of a man named Douglas Miller. Jeremy and Luis killed Douglas and left his body in a burning mobile home. Later, Douglas' van was found in an Iowa river. Police in Iowa and Minnesota discovered Jeremy had ties to a gang known as the Dealers of Death, which may have had over 300 members.

When the FBI questioned Jeremy, he didn't mention Chris Jenkins, but said the gang was responsible for at least 40 murders of young men in Minnesota and Iowa. Strangely, one of the informants in the case with ties to Jeremy and the dealers of death had the last name of Smiley.

The FBI also didn't find Jeremy Alford to be credible. No charges were ever filed against Jeremy or anyone else for Chris's death. And as of 2024, the Chris Jenkins case is the only one in GDI's database that has been ruled a homicide. Kevin and Anya came into this story as skeptics, two people who wanted facts to back up the theory.
