“Leave the Door Unlocked”
Later on that day, a maid went to clean room 1046. Owen had returned to the room and he allowed the maid inside to clean. He did insist that the door remain unlocked as he was expecting a visitor. The maid did as Owen instructed, but she did notice a few things. He had drawn the curtains and a single lamp provided all the illumination in the room. It was enough for her to notice that Owen seemed nervous or anxious. -
Staring Into Darkness
What happened between then and 10:30 the following morning is uncertain. Once again, the maid came to clean the room. Someone had locked the door from the outside, but Owen was inside the room. He was sitting in a chair and not talking. All he seemed to be doing was staring into the darkness. The phone rang and Owen answered it. Whoever was on the other end had spoken first. Owen replied after a moment. -
An Anonymous Call
Preparations for the funeral were not being made until March. Shortly before the funeral was due to take place, an anonymous phone call from a man that never identified himself was answered by the head of the funeral home. The caller asked that the funeral be delayed so that money for the service could be sent over.
