    Man Arrested After Claiming to find his Girlfriend Dead in their Hotel Room

    Crime and Justice News by Evan Green

    In a Las Vegas hotel room, a California man said that he found his girlfriend "beaten, bloody, and unconscious", and he has now been arrested and charged with her murder.

    Police in Las Vegas described Stephanie Duarte, 30, as having been found with blunt force trauma to the head in Justin Medof, 31's room at a motel. Medof faces charges of open murder in Duarte's death.

    In a 911 call, Medof stated that he awoke in his room at the Home2 Suites to discover Duarte dead.

    Medof was performing chest compressions on the naked Duarte when the police arrived on the crime scene, but emergency responders reported that Duarte appeared to be in rigor mortis, and her mouth had already locked, making mouth-to-mouth recitation impossible.

    Reports from detectives indicated that Medof had awoken to find his girlfriend "beaten, bloody, and unconscious." Medof told detectives he had attempted to rouse her with a bath but was unsuccessful.

    The couple argued verbally on Freemont Street that night, according to Medof's statement to police. He said he left her on the street and returned to the hotel alone.

    In surveillance footage, Medoff can be seen returning to the hotel at 2:12 a.m. Then Duarte arrived roughly two and a half hours later. Just minutes later at 2:32 a.m., the door to the couple's hotel room was opened for the last time.

    Between 2 and 3 in the morning, other guests reported hearing loud noises coming from the room, sounding as if a couple was arguing and moving furniture.

    So much sin in the world. Murders, assaults. The Bible speaks of the erosion of society, during the last days, before the 2nd coming of Christ.
