What's Under Your Bed?

Remember when you were a kid and you'd turn out the light for the night and you would literally jumb to your bed, because something might be under there and grab you?

Learning about this next tale brought back memories of the days when my kids were just toddlers and would jump the their bed. It also makes me wonder about what housekeepers in hotels really do...could explain the bed bug problems. Ugh... ready for this?

Tale: A couple checks into a hotel room, all night long they are dealing with an odor that just keeps getting worse. They finally make a call to management to complain, staff comes to their room, and eventually someone figures out the odor is worse by the bed.

Now, you know where this is headed...

The staff starts stripping the bed, nothing...the go to flip the mattress and the odor is unimaginable. Stuck in the box for mattress support is a decomposing body! 

Now for the kicker part, this really happened to a missing person, she was gone several months and the continental room she was in had been used five times before she was found! So, I did some research and found this actually to be a good hiding place, even under the bed itself. How housekeeping couldn't find something under the bed is astonishing, but it happens.  I found that this has happened in Maryland, New York, Florida, California, Jersey, and yep Vegas. Leaving the saying ' What goes on in Vegas can Decompose in Vegas'. I'm sure there are probably more, this is just what I was able to find in a couple hours of research.

Moral of the story, strange things happen and the next time you go to stay in a hotel, look around the bed before cuddling up for the night.
