According to 6abc Action News, the parents of Ashley Robinson, a.k.a. Ashlee Jenae, spoke with the outlet and shared that they “have not received clear information from officials in Tanzania or from her fiancé about what happened to her.” In a report published on Tuesday, April 14, Yolanda Denise Endres and Harry Robinson spoke about their daughter.
“My daughter Ashly, she’s no longer here with us, and we’re trying to find out why,” Endres explained. “She was starting the next chapter of her life. She called us to FaceTime us to share with us her travel and her vacation.”
Then, a week later, Jenae was found dead.
Per the outlet, Ashlee Jenae traveled to Zanzibar with her fiancé to celebrate her 31st birthday. While they were there, Joe McCann, who was her boyfriend of one year, proposed.
Furthermore, according to Ashlee Jenae’s mother, on April 8, she had called, sharing that she and McCann had been in an argument and were moved to separate rooms. The next day, Endres reportedly received a call from McCann.
“He told me that Ashly did something to herself and she was being taken to the hospital, and he told me she was stable. I said what happened, and he told me it had been 11 hours prior,” Endres recalled.
