Another Body Stuffed Under the Bed

Okay, and when time to let everybody in on what we're talking about this week. Okay, so there is this strange maybe you might have slept over a dead body in your life and you don't know about it. So this is it is actually this is an interesting right. So this was a topic that was like circulating around the Internet and people are wondering is this real or is this fake? And then I think it's snopes? Is it snopestyle? How you pronounce it? Snopes dot com snoops? Snops snoops. Yeah, they they got the like it came to their attention and they started investigating if this was real or not real. And it turns out, well, we'll find out, we'll find out it's real. No, it's real. Well spoiler alert, it's real. Uh so yeah, we looked up. We looked into it and got a couple of cases. So that's pretty cool. And also we're going to be going over a creepy pasta. I started listening to all these things, like not listening reading like back in the Reddit forums, back when like things were even just normal forums right where people would upload stories and they would seem really always thought of creepy pastas as like stories that felt very real, but they were made up. Yeah. I think of creepy pastas as like like modern urban legends, right, Like It's like, instead of calling it an urban legend, people call it a creepy pasta. A man and a woman went to Las Vegas for their honeymoon and checked into a suite at a hotel. When they got to their room, they both detected a bad odor. The husband called down to the front desk and asked to speak to the manager. He explained that the room smelled very bad and they would like another suite, Like, I mean, they're in Vegas, So is it just cigarettes? Does it just smell like cigarettes? I mean, yeah, it could have been. I mean it's really like a bad odor though, so I guess that's yeah, cigarettes, Yeah, cigarette stink. He explained that the that the room smelled very bad and they were like this week. The manager apologized and told the man that they were all booked because of a convention. He offered. He offered to send them to a restaurant of their choice for lunch compliments of compliments of the hotel, and said that he was gonna send like make up for it. I don't think like if your room stinks and then they just send you to lunch and you still have to sleep in your stinky room. Well they were sending a mate, okay. Yeah, but yeah, it's like, sorry, here you go. I'm like already writing the Yelp review in my mind for this hotel. At least you get to leave the room. So that's true, that's very true. They just send up room service. You just get you Oh god, terrible yell review, terrible Yelp. Okay, so and then said that he was going to send up a made up to the room to clean and try to get rid of the odor. After a nice lunch, the couple went back to the room. When they walked in, they could both still smell the horrible odor. Again. The husband called the front desk and told the manager that the room still smelled really bad. The manager told the man that they would try and find a suite at another hotel. He called every hotel on the strip, but every hotel was sold out because of the convention. See that sound like a creepy pasta right there, because it's like there's definitely a room, but anyway, continue, Yeah, oh man, you just ruined it. But yeah, that's true, because there's always somewhere to stay there. Yeah, and it's like thirty dollars, it's not expensive. But anyway, continue, yeah, it says. The manager told the couple that they couldn't find them a room anywhere, but that they would try to clean the room again. The couple went wanted to see the sights and do a little gambling anyway, so they said they would give them two hours to clean and then they would be back. When the couple had left, the manager and all the housekeeping staff went into the room to try to find what was making its smell so bad. They searched the entire suite and found nothing. So the maids changed the sheets, changed the towels, took down the curtains and put new ones up, cleaned the carpet, and cleaned the suite again, and using the strongest cleaning products they had. So now it's gonna smell like Now it's gonna like bleach. Yeah, and wind decks and all that. The couple went back two hours later and found the room still had a bad order. The husband was so angry at this point he decided to find whatever the smell was himself, so he started tearing the tearing the entire suite apart. As he pulled the top mattress off the box spring of the bed, he found a dead body of a woman. That's how it is. So yeah, normally it could bepasta. They should add something about like, you know, what stage of compositions? Do you think they still stayed in the room, like after me? Where they go? Right? Yea? Like did you just go home? Are they there for the convention? Like I mean, I'm confused, like what are these people going to do now? I don't know if they're there from the for the convention, But yeah, they should explain more, like it's like, what was up with this? This is the romantic getaway and they found a body and they're like, this is our only vacation this year. We're going to stay. They probably just two hours, Yeah, give them two hours to get rid of the body. We'll be back. I have the cops do the crime scene thing and like we'll be back at two hours after we've left the blackjack table. I think something like this. You know, it probably spread people are like oh wow, like is this real? Blah blah blah, and then people start looking it up and that's how we end up with you know those those journalists looking it up right story. Yeah, and then we actually did some research on it. Toot found one of these stories in Starbulletin dot com and their archives from way back in the day. This is from nineteen ninety six, so it's an article that we wrote, but this is based off of I mean, we got the info from this bulletin, right, So it says it was July twenty fourth, nineteen ninety six, and Lynn was traveling for work. Her brother Dennis had tagged along with her, and now they were out in Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, California, heading toward a local convenience right near me. That's right, Yeah, that's right near me. I would like are their street names, because I could just totally go I could go out there right now if you want. I can't just see it, says Colorado Boulevard. I mean that a last time. They were on Colorado Boulevard and Pasadena, California, heading toward a local convenience store to buy something that you normally need while you're you're at home, so like not at some hotel. So they were see going to be looking for air fresheners. Breeze. Yeah, not sponsored. Breeze is not sponsored by our show, even though I plugging them, Maybe they should sponsor our show covers the Smell of Dead Bodies. Lynn owned a company involved in travels. She was well aware of the hotel room scene, and she had a share of different experiences in many places. Why does that make it sound like she's a swinger? Like it makes it like you just read that like she's a swinger. She's familiar with familiar with the hotel scene, La Lynn oh Lynn, and had her share different experiences in many places. See what I mean? You read that like you read that like there's some minuendo. But anyway, continue because but this time they had already requested a room change, and this new room had a strange smell. So they were already being like that's type of customer, you know. So they had politely told this to the hotel staff and they came in apologized and sprayed down the room with them, like sprayed down the room with what fabreeze. Probably it's funny you asked, like with them in it, it's like, yeah, let's just spray. Yeah, they just like around them. Still, they didn't want to request another room change. They figure they just suck it up and stayed to be the good hotel guests. They did manage to find the air fresheners, however, so they were out buying some of the story. Neither of them could have imagined what was really going on and why her brother kept smelling something he described as kimchi or fermented cabbage and radish. Oh that's so much, so visual, so so sensual. I just I don't know what's the you could you just get it? You just get it in your in your face, you know how kim kind of gets what do you call that first fermented? For me? Like yeah, yeah, Well also it gets like a sweet smell, which is like the sweet like I only know that because a rat died in my old house and it died in the wall, so I had to deal with this like this. Oh god, it's the smell. I see. I would like listeners, if you have ever smelled a dead body, how does it smell compared to a dead rat? Please write in and let us know. Ye, but yeah, the dead rat smelled like it like it has it just had a sweet smell, like like death has a sweet smell to it, which is really weird, but yeah, it's like a fermented smell, like if you were doing Yeah, I like that as a title. I know it was strangely poetic, but yeah, death has a sweet sweets. It was until they received a phone call the following Sunday when they were back in Hawaii or Hawaii that they explained the unpleasant So that's something, oh and something much more sinister. The police informed them that a woman in her twenties had been in the same room before Lynn and her brother arrived, except the young woman had not left. In fact, her body had been stuffed inside the wooden platform of one of the beds that her brother has slept in. She had been there for ten days. Yeah, her body was decomposing. Oh yeah, did they say she was murdered or what? She was just put in there? She wasn't murdered. Well, I got why did I even ask that she had natural death? Yeah? Crawled in and didn't couldn't get out. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, like, never mind that I was thinking, you were asking, like if she got murdered or like, oh, she just died of natural causes in the hotel room and they just stuffed there in there. Look just let me drink my coffee. Leave me alone. Just leave me alone. Yeah, the big stuffs are in there, so they don't have to deal with it. That's that was what I was asking obviously, just like I'm not cleaning this up. You could just imagine her just cover in the bed. I'm curious, like ten days decomposing. Oh, I can't imagine you'd be abled it. I mean like that, it took that rat like thirty days to decompose like it was. Oh, it's awful. I can't imagine a body, you know, a human size decomposing. Oh geez. Then for Breeze must have done like a good job, I think, like at least to make it like you know, like at least Yeah, I got like, he must have just sprayed it straight up his nose, like I you just have to take care of it. Illegal, just two bottles straight up the nose. Stories of dead bodies found ins at hotel rooms are much more common than you might think, Popularized in part by the book The Big Book of Urban Legends, People started using it as a tale that they would tell to scare each other, as one of those regular urban legends to scare kids into doing what they were supposed to do. But the story I just told you about actually happened, and there were many others just like it. In nineteen eighty two, a man that was part of a team of scammers was killed and stuffed so specific it's like, okay, they were scammers. Okay, yeah, so you don't feel as bad, you you really don't. A young woman stuffed in a bed is pretty awful, but like a scammer was killed and stuffed under the bed by the other two and was left there, only to be found two days after Christmas. In North Bergen, New Jersey. The room had been rented out, with his body still there for four long days. Of course, the guest noticed the scent, but nobody searched around to find his body peacefully resting under them. Like what do they mean peaceful? Like like like he's yeah, like just like in a suit, Yeah, in a suit, sweet smiling that sweet smell of death. And yeah, so then it says this is in Maryland. In nineteen eighty seven, a drug trafficker and his partner stayed out of moteln. I feel terriver what we just talked about. The guy that died. That sucks, I know, but yeah, I mean, well, it's such a weird detail that he was a scammer, but look, he died peacefully and under them stayed under the mattress, so you know, it could have been a worse situation. So this is how this is how true crime people feel about. What about joking about so much dying? I think that might be it. Yeah, they do generally feel kind of bad. But you know, we don't know this guy's name. And also all of this could be creepy pasta, you know, like this. I think that's like the benefit of the doubt with scary stories is that m all of it can kind of be creepy pasta unless you're like literally reading from a newspaper article. Yeah, okay, well I feel a little better. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, we don't know if the scammer was real or not. Yeah. In Maryland in nineteen eighty seven, a drug trafficker and his partner stayed at a motel room, but one of them died after one of the drug filled balloons burst inside of him. He was simply stuffed and left under the motel bed. Okay, so I kind of understand this, right, Like you're imagine you're handling a bunch of money, Like these are drugs, so you can get in, you can go to jail for life or something. I don't know. I don't know, Oh, one hundred percent. No, you just need to get rid of You just need to get rid of that body and move on. I mean that's it, Like that makes sense. And the stories continue from the Travelers Hotel near Miami's International Airport to vi Econno Lodge in Alexandria, Virginia, to the Capri or Capri Hotel in downtown Kansas to Las Vegas in Atlantic City. Before the Internet and high speed networks, things were much more difficult to spot if you get away with murder. The lack of interconnected security cameras are no proper database to search where you had been. Without cell phones or credit cards tracking your locations made it much easier. That's creepy to me, Michelle, Like, that's like how much people know about us based off of just security cameras, credit cards, you make up, purchase use atm put gas in a car intersection, you cross you're being followed. That creepy. I literally have an Alexa sitting next to me. I'm like, while you talk about murders, I can't wait to see the ads pop up on It'll be like cleaning supplies. Yeah, for breeze. There's a sale on for breeze. Would you like us to purchase it? Yeah, this is to me, this is creepy, like at track your locations now, But back then it really was pretty wild, Like yeah, you could just be like, yeah, motels were like in the middle of nowhere, side of the road. I know it's a type of freedom we don't have anymore and don't really understand. Yeah, because we are like so followed now, like we are so tracked. So yeah, we're used to it. I think boomers really understand this stuff too, like the freedom and now it's just like it must be it must be sad for them to understand that there's no going back to time. That sucks. Yeah, it sounds pretty wild back then too. Yeah. Okay. So then add to the story that motels are usually located on the sides of the road and so many people come and go, paying in cash and providing unreliable identification, motels served as a perfect settings for horror movies, and with good reason. Oh one hundred percent out in every hotel all the time, even when they're nice. Oh you know those people that go around with those lights. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, I don't want to know. I don't want to know. I don't even like, Yeah, I don't like to even touch the hotel remote, you know, Like I just hotels are creepy. I had a friend who used to I had a friend who used to stick his dick in the coffeemakers in for what who knows, who knows why he did this. He did it while he was growing up, but he'd stick his dicks in the coffee makers. And I've never used a coffeemaker since after he told me that, And I was also like, who are you? Like who does this? What? Like now I'll never be able to use the in room coffee maker again because you did that. Like like the fact that that someone has done that means that other people have done it, you know what I mean. Like, there's no you can't go back, you can't unknow that you can't enjoy your cuff of room coffee after that, Like there's not anywhere to go, there's no way forward. Then then it says like the next time you travel, thinking about the many people who have been there before, see before you, Yeah, so you really ruined it. Actually you made the whole You made coffee a little bit easier for me to get rid of, Like, okay, well, just don't drink room coffee, you know, like maybe just you know, don't drink your room coffee. Oh jeez, the laughter, the jokes, the pizza boxes that were once placed over the dressers, and then think about the anger, the cries, and the struggle before one of them took their last breath. How they were dragged into the bed while you're sleeping, and how they were left there to decompose under your bed or they stuck their dick in your coffee maker. They're either dead under your bed, or they did that and laughed, which is just as scary and weird. Let's just assume this is it. Yeah, it's there. Oh okay, what is there a news story? It's pictures of it. No, it looks like a normal motel, you know, old all right. I'm trying to look at the reviews just to see if there's anybody said, yeah, there's this pretty cool one that says what I like the most is that they don't bother you at all for as long as you are an occupant. They respect your privacy, So that explains it. It gives you enough time to definitely stuff a body under your bed. Yeah, it's nice that they respect your privacy so much, but they don't even know if you're even staying there. We could be staying there right now and they wouldn't know either way. If anybody wants to look it up, there is the I'm going to place a link for the actual the archives Worstar Bulletin dot com About the new stories. What will we talk about next time?
