Hotel room occupants come and go. On rare occasions though some overstay.

At the Amoray Dive Resort in Key Largo, Florida, a member of the housekeeping staff cleaned up a room of three large trash bags left by a male occupant when he transferred to another room on 6 April.

The housekeeper noticed linens and towels stained with blood, urine and feces inside the trash bags but threw them into the dumpster anyway and did not report it to management, Miami Herald reported.

Meanwhile, local police received calls for help about a missing mother from her daughters and they were led to the resort where her car was parked for days. The resort’s general manager reported a suspicious guest and detectives checked the room he occupied. There they found the body of the missing Nadyne Marie Tillman, 43, stuffed inside a closet, underneath a water heater.

Guests who took the room afterward apparently did not notice the body in the closet.

Police tracked the suspicious guest, Dylan Lamb, 33, to a local kayak tour operator and he admitted to killing Tillman and hiding her body on 5 April for refusing to have sex with him after he had given her $200. Investigators believe the victim was beaten to death.

Lamb was arrested on 9 April on charges of murder, concealing evidence and soliciting sex.

Meanwhile, police in Hawaii found a 78-year-old woman “trapped” inside her car for about three or four days since 30 March in the Kailua and Kaneohe area.

When the woman got out of her car, she went to a bank to withdraw money, accompanied by a 22-year-old man.

The woman was able to inform bank employees that she was being held captive by the man and forced to withdraw from her account, ABC News reported.

Police were called and they arrested the suspect on charges of kidnapping and robbery, with bail set at $30,000, according to ABC News.
