Memphis – This is some crazy shit right out of a bad movie. A mother of five went missing back in January and it turns out that for the last few months, her dead body had been hidden in the metal box frame of a bed in the motel room she had been living. Sony Millbrook had been reported missing back on January 27th after she failed to pick her kids up from school. Police began an initial investigation, but in the meantime Millbrook’s belongings were boxed up and the room at the Budget Inn rented back out at least five times since then. It wasn’t until this past Monday that police were called after employees began investigating a foul odor and discovered Millbrook’s corpse hidden in the bed. Police say it is apparent that she was the victim of a homicide, but have not released the cause of death. Her boyfriend, LaKeith Moody, was questioned early on and has been in jail ever since on a federal gun charge. He is a person of interest in Millbrook’s death.
I feel bad for the victim’s kids and family losing a loved one in this manner, and hopefully justice will be served on the person(s) responsible. Millbrook’s sister claims she begged for the staff to search the room but that they refused to do so. Hell, now it’s being reported that even the police investigating the disappearance never actually searched the room. So now the tragedy of losing a loved one will be made worse by news sites, and blogs like ours, who will focus on the fact that a body had been rotting under a mattress people were sleeping on.
But HOLY FUCKING HEEBIE-JEEBIES! How many of you have not talked about this exact scenario…or thought of it when staying in a hotel? I mean I am a morbid son of a bitch, so I ALWAYS think there is a body stuffed under a bed when I stay in a hotel. I know this cannot be the first time this has ever happened, but it is the first I can remember posting about here. Cripes. The thought of sleeping soundly on a bed while a woman was rotting mere inches below you is just CREEPY AS HELL.
Let’s hear some of your motel\hotel horrors. I am sure no one can beat the fact that at least five people slept on top of a dead woman, but let’s find out. Personally, aside from some messy business in a motel bathtub and a hooker, the worst experience I ever had was at the Astro motel in Myrtle Beach, SC. Me and a girlfriend arrived during a holiday weekend on a spur of the moment trip, and found there were no rooms anywhere aside from the Astro. We spent the night laying on top of our beach towels while listening to meth heads run back and forth outside screaming and banging on the doors. Hell, our room had a pentagram BURNED into the floor.
