The Kendrick Johnson Story

Jacquelyn Johnson will be joining us this Saturday as we talk about the  mystery surrounding the death of her son Kendrick Johnson in Valdosta, Georgia on Jan 10, 2013.  Kendrick Johnson was found  in the center of a vertical rolled-up wrestling mat, in his high school gym, on January 11, 2013. His body was discovered by students who had climbed up to the top of a cluster of mats, each of which stood nearly six feet tall and three feet wide. An autopsy by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) said Kendrick died from positional asphyxia and the case was ruled an accidental death by the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office.  Lt. Stryde Jones, who headed up the investigation for the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office stated: "We never had credible information that indicated this was anything other than an accident. Kendrick’s  family hired an independent autopsy conducted by William R. Anderson with Forensic Dimensions in Heathrow, Florida on June 15. Anderson claimed that his findings indicated traces of blunt force trauma to the right neck and soft tissues, and suggested the death was not accidental.  Kendrick's family requested that his body be exhumed for a second time and was granted permission by Valdosta city officials. On June 22, 2018, Kendrick Johnson's body was exhumed.
