Missing South Carolina toddler Amir Jennings and his 22-year-old mother were reported missing by his mothers family in early December. They had not seen Amir since Thanksgiving. Amir’s mother was later discovered Christmas Eve, after she was involved in a car accident. During questioning she refused to tell cops where her son was. Now Columbia authorities have charged Zinah Jennings with unlawful conduct toward a child.
When police questioned her after her car accident, she first denied that she had a son. Then she told them that Amir was with friends/family in Atlanta, then she changed her story again and claimed Amir was in Charlotte, NC. Zinah Jennings, like Casey Anthony sent the police on wild goose chases across the Southeast.
Now the shady lifestyle of Zinah Jennings is surfacing. In November, shortly before her son vanished, she was arrested in Georgia for drugs and prostitution. The 22-year-old was busted after being spotted clad in a short skirt attempting to get the attention of every passing motorist. She did get the attention of one… An undercover officer. She also faces a Marijuana charge stemming from the same incident.
Zinah had been staying with her half sister in the Atlanta area. The day she was busted, her half sister also reported her missing and told authorities that Zinah had “schizophrenic tendencies.” Zinah Jennings has not been diagnosed with any known mental disorder, but her family claims she was depressed after the birth of her son.
Police have searched the home and car of Zinah Jennings and made grim discoveries. Investigators discovered bloody clothes and blankets, along with a shovel. Zinah’s stepfather said that he saw Zinah in the backyard with a shovel around the time Amir vanished.
The items discovered are being analyzed by state police, and cadaver dogs were utilized by cops in searches.
Cops also obtained search warrants for computers that Zinah Jennings was known to use at a public library.
There is a $10,000 reward for any information leading to Amir Jennings whereabouts.
