The unsolved case of Kendrick Johnson(TW)

This happened in 2013. I only heard about it recently while watching a YouTuber named Kendall Rae who does murder mysteries. Just look up ‘Kendall Rae Kendrick Johnson’ if you want to watch. I cried and was in shock when watching the video.

But just a run down for people who don’t know about it; A 17 year old boy never returned home from school, and was found the next day in a rolled up vertical wrestling mat that was stored in the gym. The ‘story’ goes that he shared shoes with a friend and they would store them in a wrestling mat after they finished with them(to avoid paying locker fees, supposedly a few people in the school did it). Kendrick went to retrieve the shoes, got stuck and ended up dying due to suffocation. But it seems like there was foul play involved, there was a blood platter on the wall next to the matts and both arms tucked in front of him(if he was reaching for the shoe wouldn’t a arm be stretched out, above his head) and all the security footage between 11am-2pm the day he died have disappeared. Also there was a boy that he had issues with, and conveniently the boys father is apart of the FBI.

So what does everyone think, was it an accident or foul play? At first I thought there is no way it would be an accident, then I looked into it more and thought maybe it was, especially with footage of him walking into the gym shoeless. But I go back to thinking of the missing footage, and how stretchy it all is.

Here is a photo of the wrestling mats, the one he was found in was the blue one at the back. A few students saw the socks sticking out of the top, thought it was a joke and tipped it over to look in.
