Episode 106: The Mystery in Hotel Room 1046

In January 1935, a man named Roland T. Owen checked into room 1046 in the President Hotel in Kansas City. A few days later, he was found stabbed to death in his hotel room, and the mystery expanded further when police found out that Roland T. Owen didn’t exist. A year later, he was identified as Artemus Ogletree of Birmingham, Alabama… but to this day, his murder remains unsolved.
