 “The family of Sierra Jenkins is encouraged by the news that law enforcement has a suspect in custody who is believed to be responsible for Sierra’s murder. However, we remain disappointed with the lack of information that has been available to the family and the public as to the circumstances that led to Sierra’s untimely death and others who may also be responsible.
