An Illinois woman was left in shock after she made a haunting discovery underneath a hotel bathroom sink.
Jacoreya Henderson, who goes by Coyaa on TikTok, shared a shocking video on March 30, telling her 12,000 followers she discovered cryptic sketches under a sink while cleaning.
The mother was staying at the Woodspring Suites in Elgin – about an hour outside of Chicago – with her three-year-old daughter when she stumbled across the drawings that appeared to depict abuse between a father and child.
Some of the stick figures were labeled ‘Dad’,’ while another appeared to show a young child. A separate written message read ‘Help’ while another said ‘Butt’ along the wood.
‘We need to figure out who was in here with their dad,’ Henderson, 22, said in the video with more than 4.3 million views.
‘I called the police. They’re on their way out here,’ she continued.
Henderson told DailyMail.com she rushed down to the front desk at the hotel’s front desk that night, but they didn’t appear to be all that worried about her discovery.

After not hearing a word from police for a couple days, two officers with the Elgin Police Department showed up to her hotel room and started to investigate.
The officers told the young mom they saw her video, but when they finally took a look at the drawings, they told her it looked like ‘graffiti’ to them.
They were seen in one of her videos inspecting the sink area, along with a hotel employee.
During her interaction with authorities, which she described as a ‘good cop, bad cop situation,’ Henderson told DailyMail.com she felt like they were under the impression that she had something to do with the eerie sketches.
She said they even questioned if her toddler daughter, who can ‘barely draw a circle,’ might have done it.
Henderson said she felt that one officer questioned her more about her personal life and situation because of her past with domestic violence.
Before the officers left, they gave Henderson their contact information and told her they would reach out to her, but they never did.
She then went back to them to see if she could obtain their body cam footage when they entered her hotel room, but she is still waiting to receive it.

In the meantime, she’s decided to take matters into her own hands and call the FBI about what she found.
She spoke to someone with the agency, but again, has yet to hear back.
Henderson also emphasized in her video that there was a surveillance camera right outside.
When asked if police or hotel staff reviewed the footage, Henderson said she asked the front desk to but she has no idea if they ever did.
Soon after she posted the video, she was informed by hotel staff that she had to vacate her room because they believe she violated their policies by sharing information about the hotel and also recording a staffer there.
Henderson said she has since moved into a new hotel nearby that is much more expensive than the last.
Rooms at the Woodspring Suites average between $68 to $75 a night, according to its website.

Although Henderson is really concerned about the drawings, she said she is more focused on finding a stable place for her and her daughter to live right now.
She started a GoFundMe page to help raise funds for them to one day move out of the hotel and get an apartment.
‘Hey I’m Coya, Recently my TikTok page has been going “viral” since I decided to share some disturbing images I found under my sink while cleaning,’ she wrote.
‘Since finding them I’ve spoken to the front desk, local police, and even the FBI, to voice my concern for the wellbeing of this child.’
Henderson added: ‘I’ve been on my own since I had my first kid at 16 living couch 2 couch ,or in some kinda shelters.
‘My goals are just to be a regular person who goes to work and takes their kids to school and has a home to come to at the end of the day thank you.’
