One year to the day after the disappearance of Jelani Day, his mother Carmen talked with The 21st about the investigation and a foundation in her son's honor.

Jelani Day was a church-goer, athlete and had dreams of being a speech pathology doctor. On August 24, the Illinois State University grad student went missing. Nearly a month later, his body was identified after being found in the Illinois River. Today, we talked with his mother.
