Minus said: “I knew something was wrong. “I don’t know what, but I know something is wrong.”

Minus called for a medical check-up that led police to a home where Jenkins-Minus’ body was found with multiple sharp-pointed injuries, according to the Middlesex County District Attorney’s office.

Minus said: “They told me my daughter – that she had been stabbed.

Investigators said the killing did not appear to be random.

While Minus had an idea of ​​who might be responsible, she couldn’t understand why anyone would want to kill the young mother.

Dozens of her loved ones attended a candlelight vigil Saturday night at Jenkins-Minus’ childhood home – showing how deeply she is loved.

“She is very outgoing, she loves life. She is a very uplifting young woman,” Minus said.

Her mother is desperate for answers, sharing this message for those responsible for the 22 year old girl’s death.

Minus said: “They just turned themselves in. “I am lost, I am in pain, I am numb. I am angry and I want justice for my children and grandchildren.”
