The Story Of the Room 1046

The Story Of the Room 1046

On January 2, 1935, a man checked into room 1046 in the Hotel President in Kansas City. According to the hotel registry, his name was Roland T. Owen, and his address was Los Angeles.

His ears were like cauliflower, and he had brown hair and a horizontal scar on his scalp. He didn't have any luggage but a hairbrush, a comb and toothpaste.

On the same day Owen checked in at the hotel, a maid stopped by room 1046. She noticed that Owen seemed frightened. And inside the room, there was only one source of light coming from a small lamp.

After the maid had cleaned the room, Owen asked her to leave the door unlocked, because he was expecting a guest. When the maid returned with fresh towels, she saw a note on the dresser, saying, "Don, I'll be back in fifteen minutes. Wait.

The next morning maid returned to room 1046. She saw it was locked from the outside, and though Owen had gone out. Surprisingly, Owen was inside the room, sitting in the dark, probably someone else had previously stopped Owen and locked him in.

The phone rang. Owen picked up and answered, “No, Don, I don’t want to eat. I am not hungry. I just had breakfast.”

The same day, A driver named Robert Lane picked up a man beside the Hotel President. The man apparently told Lane he 'd kill somebody tomorrow. Lane later identified the stranger as Owen.

That evening, when the maid returned with fresh towels to room 1046, she heard a grizzled sound. The next morning, the staff of the hotel found the telephone line in room 1046 was off. A bellboy was sent up to the room, where he saw Owen lying in a puddle of blood.

When the police asked Owen who had done this to him, he replied, "Nobody." He said his wounds were the result of falling against the bathtub. His clothes were missing mysteriously.

When the police tried to confirm Owen 's identity they discovered that Roland T. Owen did not exist. His real name was John Doe. He died after being admitted to the hospital and was to be buried in the field of the potter.

An unknown call came asking for the burial to be postponed until funds for a proper funeral were wired. Thirteen flowers were sent for the funeral and were signed as, “Love forever – Louise.”

A woman read about the case in 1936 and thought "Owen" looked much like the missing son of her friend, Artemus Ogletree. Ogletree 's mother reported that the man in room 1064 was indeed her son, but the case wasn’t able to progress any further.

Police never identified the mysterious Don and the mysterious woman named Louise who funded the funeral and sent the flowers.

Avoid posting identifying information or photos of your kids online. Set boundaries about the places your kids go. Supervise them in places like malls, movie theaters, parks, public bathrooms, or while fundraising door to door. Never leave kids alone in a car or stroller, even for a minute.What is the psychology of kidnapping?

Hostage and kidnap survivors can experience stress reactions including denial, impaired memory, shock, numbness, anxiety, guilt, depression, anger, and a sense of helplessness. Freedom almost always brings a sense of elation and relief.
