The family of Ashlee Jenae, legally known as Ashly Robinson, is raising new concerns after her body was returned to New Jersey from Tanzania without her personal belongings, including her engagement ring, adding more questions to a case that remains unresolved.
According to reports, Ashlee Jenae’s body was recently sent back to her family, but key items she had with her at the time of her death were not included. Her father, Harry Robinson, said the family has not been informed when or if those belongings will be returned. He added that authorities may still be holding the items as part of an ongoing investigation, though no clear timeline has been provided.
The development comes as the family continues to search for answers surrounding Ashlee Jenae’s death, which occurred in Tanzania. In response to the uncertainty, her relatives have commissioned an independent autopsy, with results still pending. At the same time, they are preparing for her funeral while continuing efforts to better understand the circumstances leading up to her final moments.
Authorities previously indicated that Ashlee Jenae had been involved in a dispute with her fiancé, Joe McCann, shortly before her death at a hotel. Staff members reportedly intervened and separated the couple, a detail that has remained central to the investigation.
Early reports suggested the possibility of suicide, but Ashlee Jenae’s family has rejected that claim, maintaining that she showed no signs of self-harm and describing her as full of life. They have also expressed concern over limited communication from McCann since her passing and are working to obtain surveillance footage from the hotel in hopes of piecing together what happened.
As the investigation continues, the family is considering traveling to Tanzania to meet directly with officials, seeking clarity on the missing belongings and the unanswered questions surrounding Ashlee Jenae’s death.
