A enduring mystery has been handed down to us through the decades.
On January 2, 1935. a man checked into room 1046 of the Hotel President in Kansas City, Missouri under the name of Roland T. Owen, it soon became clear that even his name was a fabrication. In just two days' time, he would be dead.
Hotel staff later observed that the mystery man was acting strange from the moment he arrived. Whenever maids or porters went up to his room, they always found it dark, with the shades drawn and a single desk lamp providing the only illumination.
When he was discovered in his room, he was already dying from injuries sustained in what was obviously a brutal attack. The question was: Who killed Roland T. Owen, and why? But the man known as Roland T. Owen brought with him more mysteries than answers. Who was Roland T. Owen and what did he do to deserve torture and a brutal death? We may never know all the answers, but the pieces of the puzzle are as haunting as any solution could ever be.
