Javonni Jenkins and her father, Curtis Hardman, have been identified as the victims by family and colleagues.

Jenkins worked at Holy Cross Hospital as a medical assistant. When she failed to show up for work, they realized something was wrong, and colleagues began calling her. According to ABC7, Jenkins’ 2-year-old son eventually answered the phone.

For several hours, the colleagues FaceTimed with the toddler. They were the ones who initiated the well-being check after not seeing Jenkins throughout the call.

“All we could see was from his face up, so the ceiling the majority of the time,” said one anonymous colleague.

“We came a little too late,” said Nicole Worth, another Jenkins coworker. “We rescued the child. That was the best we could do.”

According to Chicago police, this is an isolated incident with no threat to the public.
