ChiefsPlanet - Football Janoris Jenkins positioning to challenge Aqib Talib as NFL's most dangerous CB.

This sounds kind of mysterious. Did someone break in and then get murdered by someone else who broke in? Or was the body moldering for a while as Jenkins went to minicamp? The tone of the article makes it sound like Jenkins isn't an immediate suspect, but how often does a murder victim get dumped in the house of an unknowing third party?

And who was the 'worker' who found the body? Are we talking a maid, most likely? If Jenkins murdered someone, you would think that he'd hide the body from the maid.

Major crimes unit investigating after body found at Giants CB Janoris Jenkins' house

New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins‘ house in Bergen County, New Jersey, turned into an investigation scene when a body was found on the premises, multiple reports said.

TMZ reported that Jenkins has been in Florida and was not at home when police arrived.

TMZ and the Fort Lee Daily Voice reported that police were investigating at Jenkins’ house. Law enforcement authorities confirmed to the Daily Voice that a body was found at the home. TMZ reported a body was discovered in the basement of the house by a worker. The Daily Voice confirmed that a worker found a male body in the basement at about 10 a.m. on Tuesday.

ESPN’s Dianna Russini also confirmed that police confirmed a body was discovered on Jenkins’ property. Russini said Jenkins has been in Florida since the Giants’ minicamp broke earlier this month.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Tuesday evening that law enforcement sources said they’re investigating it as a possible strangulation/suffocation case.

Both reports said there was a police presence at Jenkins’ house. TMZ published photos of a major crimes unit truck outside of the house.

The Daily Voice said homicide detectives from the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Crime Scene Unit and forensic investigators from the Bergen County Sheriff’s Bureau of Criminal Identification were on the scene along with Fair Lawn police.

There were very few details available as of late Tuesday afternoon. TMZ said the identity of the victim is unclear.

“The investigation is ongoing, and additional information will be provided when it is available and appropriate for release,” the prosecutor said, according to the Daily Voice.

One of the few released details is the victim was a male.

“The deceased is not the owner of the residence, but the identity of the male decedent cannot be released until next of kin have been notified,” Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo said, according to the Daily Voice. “The investigation is ongoing, and additional information will be provided when it is available and appropriate for release.”

Jenkins is one of the best cornerbacks in football. He spent his first four NFL seasons with the Rams, then signed a five-year, $62.5 million deal with the Giants in 2016. He made the Pro Bowl his first season with the Giants.

Russini reported that Jenkins and the Giants are aware of the situation.
