What’s the name of the married white male who was killed in a hotel (DC hotel?), and the POI is caught on camera in the hotel hallways dressed in all black?

It turns out the murder victim was meeting a hookup for sex. I can’t remember this guy’s name, but I remember the story was riveting.

^^….And, for some reason, it’s believed the hookup is male. This was maybe a few years ago.

GAH, wish I could remember…

Not a cold case -- solved and sentenced. Murder at the Donovan Hotel. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/2-women-to-be-sentenced-in-donovan-hotel-murder/112671/

THANK YOU!

The victim - who was meeting up for random gay hookup - was actually married. I think of his wife occasionally, and how horrible it must have been for her.

YES! This was the one I was going to post but couldn't remember the guy's name. I read so many articles about it after it happened. Just. So. Weird.

I was intrigued by the April Williams kidnapping when I first read about it, because April's mother was from Suffolk, Va. which is where I grew up.

Long story short, 18yo single mother decides to take a bus out west. She has a stop in Washington, DC where a woman approaches her and offers to hold her baby. Of course the mother is exhausted and says sure. The stranger offers to take the baby to the ladies' room for a change, the mother says sure, and the baby is never seen again.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/almost-35-years-ago-she-let-a-stranger-hold-her-newborn-it-has-haunted-her-ever-since/2018/01/11/449daed2-e4d8-11e7-a65d-1ac0fd7f097e_story.html

Sad story. Investigators assumed the woman took the baby to raise as her own, so hopefully she is still alive and will some day be reunited with her mother.

how is this a cold case?

According to the parents of Christopher Lee Watts, it still is.
His parents are still not convinced their son killed their granddaughters.

Interesting, since this IS a parenting venue I noticed today watching Cocomelon that three characters in the show are named after the 3 children: Bella, CeCe and Nico.

NP, probably posted on this thread a long time ago about the Wone case. It still disgusts me. A horrific death and an evil abuse of a human being. The DC cops were always sure they knew who the killers were but could not nail them and I sometimes still think about how Wone's murderer(s) are walking around free.

The FBI does not believe she fell overboard.

As well, her photos with the captain were removed from the photo display!

The photo of Jazz (brothel website) looks just like her. An American man came forward years later to say he believes he spoke with her (in brothel) - as did a woman (in a mall).

The band member she was last seen with told her brother he was sorry about what happened to his sister (before it was announced to anyone that she was missing!).

Her poor parents were also scammed out of 250K by a fake investigator.

Amy's Charley Project Profile says this: Authorities do not believe that Bradley fell overboard, as Rhapsody of the Seas was extremely close to shore at the time of her disappearance. Witnesses would have undoubtedly heard or seen any accident.

It’s almost certain that she was sold into sex slavery by cruise employees. There have been sightings of her periodically. The saddest was the Navy guy who saw her in Curaçao but never said anything because the thought he would be punished for soliciting sex. He waited until he retired from the Navy to say something. He saw her less than a year after she disappeared. Those pictures of “Jazz” are haunting. Those pics look sooooo much like her.

From what I remember the Navy guy said that she said her name was Amy and she needed help.

However I suppose it is possible that she never left the ship. She left the cabin (supposedly) at 6am after being out all night, perhaps barefoot.

It's a VERY strange case indeed.
Yes very sad.
