Lenoir's mother said Channel 2's Michael Seiden the latest arrest brings him no conclusion. She focuses on achieving justice.

“There are absolutely no words to describe the agony I feel daily,” Jannette Jackson said. “The fact that he was found on jet skis, having fun, is probably the most hurtful part of all of this.”

Two Georgia Department of Natural Resources game wardens spotted Oboite on a jet ski in a no-wake zone around 4:30 p.m. Friday.

Investigators said they stopped him because they thought Oboite may have been drunk and asked for his ID. That's when authorities say he took off on a jet ski.

Oboite finally reached the shore and began running through a wooded area. Authorities caught him and took him into custody.

Oboite and Diante Reynolds, imprisoned since 2022, are accused of Lenoir's murder. A third suspect, Nicholas Hendrickson, is accused of helping dispose of the young woman's body.

Court records show Oboite had warrants for his arrest for murder, concealing the death of another and tampering with evidence related to Lenoir's death.

Lenoir's family said she and a friend encountered two men at the apartment complex. Lenoir never returned home.

Two years later, investigators are still searching for his body.

“If you could find anything, anything in your heart for me and my family, just tell us where our baby is,” Jackson said.

Oboite remains in Bartow County Jail but will be extradited to Fulton County.
