Maybe not. Alcohol and macho bullshit in a hotel room crucible can do wonders for mayhem.

Isn't Kellar the victim? Do murder victims often leave the scene rather than awaiting police?

I saw a report on on of the local newscasts. It told of a previous incident where the victim in this tragedy had threatened to kill these people in their sleep.
Just the same a very sad tale.
