When you hit your head on the bathtub so hard that you have stab wounds and a punctured lung.
Lmao I hate when that happens
I could only imagine.
Ugh, happens to me all the time I’m sick of it
Hell of a fall

I know right how do you do all that by slipping
Owen : *is being tortured and beaten to death in room 1046* Woman next door : damn that’s one hell of a party ya got goin 😁😄
Io
The phone repeatedly being off the hook may have been a way for Artie to draw the attention of the staff.
Reminds me when Kira teased L by making dying criminals write shinigamis love apples or something like that
why didn’t he ask for help when they were at the door then
@@cu12351 Yesss😂😭💯
Or he was trying to pick it up, but was too weak.
@@cu12351 who's Kira?
Owen: *Stabbed 17 times and had a fractured skull* Old timey Detectives: huh, yeah okay I guess it wasn't a suicide
TheMisanthropist TM - old timey, love it! 🤣🤣
Yes not suicide
And there weren't any weapons (e.g. knives or hammers) in the room.
Saying thanks for the likes ruins the comment
Yeah I mean it was a hotel so don't they bring you food
i just realized the reason he said “come in. turn on the lights” was probably because he wanted them to see what had happened
Exactly so they did more and more cause ain't nobody care for hours 🤷🤷🤷 the attacker was probably pissed off
Made my skin crawl to think someone couldve been standing in the shadows
I was thinking maybe the murderer was still in there since more torturing was done & maybe he said "come in turn on the lights" hoping to get help. Maybe that's also why he got it so much worse by the time they actually entered.....bc the murderer didnt like that he was inviting someone in to perhaps see them
he was summoning whatever energy to get them to come in but didnt realise the locked door. feel so sorry for him
I am unsure of what happened after this but I believe you're on the right track. I believe he was left there without caring if he died or lived, they got what they needed and had something against him to keep him silent so they didn't need him dead or they would've just finished the job before leaving. I think he said come in turn the lights on hoping they'd see him and help him. Guy came in, didn't turn light on, picked up the table and put the phone back. Then later on he kicked the phone off again or removed it not having the energy to call the desk and ask for help. And finally that time they came in and saw him. But I'm unsure if the killer had returned to the room and removed the phone, I think it's more likely he removed the phone hoping for help. Crazy story either way. Glad I don't mess with the mafia and shit
For context: when your brain is losing blood you start to lose the ability to think clearly/form speech. When you're in that much physical distress, something as simple as forming any new thoughts to make into words is too much. I was in a similar situation (all the blood went out of my head and pooled into my feet, also I'm fine now) and the only thing I could get out was "I need to lie down" despite the fact that saying something like "I feel like I'm dying" would have helped me more. Owen got out "Come in, turn on the lights" which was likely his way of asking for help the only way he could. "Come in, turn on the lights" if followed would have informed anyone entering he was in trouble, but the staff didn't turn on the lights. This is also probably why the phone kept getting knocked off the hook. He was trying to get help and knew the only thing he was strong enough to do with so little blood was get the phone off the line. When you lose that much blood, you can barely even crawl, let alone get up and call for help. He knew they'd come back up if he knocked the phone, and it worked, but unfortunately it was too late. For someone who lost so much blood, he tried as hard as he could to survive, even if it doesn't make sense to someone who has never experienced that before. Also the head in the hands thing: if you lose a lot of blood, it will make you extremely nauseous and/or dizzy. A common thing that I did when this happened to me was I would hold my head in my hands and curl up as much as I could. He was likely experiencing the same thing. He was trying to survive despite the dire circumstances. He was even found near the door. The guy was doing everything he could to get help, but the hotel staff just didn't realize what they came upon until it was too late :( **TL;DR:** Owen's odd behavior is explained by the physical consequences of losing a lot of blood. For someone missing that much blood, he tried everything he was capable of to get help. Even when his attempts failed, he continued to try. Poor guy
Hmm then what about Don, ledy's finger prints & punctured lungs?? Just curious
This makes sense. Telephone off the hook no longer seems like a mystery, just a guy trying to get help the only way he could.
It also seems to me like this is possibly some kind of organized crime type situation (maybe he got in with some bad people), so it’s possible that actively asking for help or warning the hotel staff of what was happening/going to happen could’ve had consequences. But if he took his beating and found a way to get help from the staff without directly contacting them, then maybe it would’ve worked out better for him/whoever he might’ve been trying to proctect
i'm really glad to know you're fine now lmao, sounds terrifying
@@ddear-april lol thank you. all i needed was a few lifestyle changes and a beta blocker. haven't had an incident in years!
The reason for Artemus's lights being off could have actually been so that the person/ people beating him up can hide. A completely dark room have the capability of concealing one or two figure I guess?
This is actually very interesting, I believe that’s why the lights where off as it was night time and no light will be able to get into the room, they could’ve been wearing all black and standing in the corners of the room, hmmmmmm
@@samgrainger4864 Or just crawl under the bed lol

@@mydickfuckinghurts yeah dont know why hes saying who.
Nice pfp - glass animals rocks
pls elaborate
The creepiest part about this story is that Owen's fear of his "guest" was much, MUCH stronger than his desire to survive any of this. I can't imagine being so scared that you can't even tell the cops that someone did that to you.
Fear of his guest or love for whom his killer represented, like his fiancee?
The craziest unsolved mystery: why a hotel puts locks on the outside of the room.
eustagoesout i'm guessing this was probably before the invention (or widespread use) of self locking doors.
eustagoesout yeah
Joke theory: This is a murder hotel. Built specifically for locking victims inside! XD
Wondering why it was on the outside. But later when the bell boy went to check the door was locked and “had to use a key” why not just unlock the door?
?? Don’t most hotel’s without self-locking doors lock on the outside? Just like a regular door, with the key slot outside so when you leave you can lock it ..
*tells a creepy and sad story* Shane and Ryan: *wheeze*

I love watching these type of videos cause they’re so interesting, but I get so paranoid and freaked out. This is just great cause then I get freaked out and it gets interrupted by “this is a thick juicy peach and the juice is running down my chin”
I think him sitting in the dark and being creepy was a signal for "help" I don't know why I think that but I do.
@Joy Back yeah but he might not be been able to ask for help if someone was watching/keeping track of him
Could be the head trauma. People can act pretty weird with head trauma. Also sounds like significant blood loss.
Idk someone was maybe in the room when the maid or the guy came in besides Owen really creepy just sitting there in the dark

Holy shit- this is brilliant
Oh my gosh you're right.
theory: if we never actually saw the name "don" written down and there was female dna, what if he wasnt saying "don"? what if he was saying "dawn"? this could also explain the male and female voices heard, not just male voices.

There was a note that spelled it "Don" so._.

THAT PIC OF TAE IS SENDING ME
And how did that age?
After re watching this, here's my take on what I believed happened (based on the information presented in the video of course): Roland T. Owen had a fiancé, whom he cheated on (presumably because he was a rent boy, gay or both); causing this fiancé to commit suicide. As a result, this woman's brother, supposedly Don, and another woman, possibly his wife, sister or any other woman with close ties to him (Louise), find Roland T. Owen in room 1046 and start torturing him as revenge for his causing of the death of Don's sister. When Roland T. Owen dies and is said to be buried in a pauper's grave, Don and Louise arrange for him to be buried in Memorial Park Cemetery so he can be close to his fiancé who loved him but tragically committed suicide due to his love affair. (Also, since the florist was sent money and a card saying "love forever Louise", Louise may also have been his fiancé, and Don arranged for it to seem like Louise sent it to him because she loved him) Side note: Don may not have been a person, rather a title in the Mafia. Such as Don Vito Corleone. This entire thing is based on speculation and literally just a few minutes of thinking after watching the video, so as you probably noticed, it's most likely full of holes and things that make no sense, but I still enjoyed it.
This theory is by far the best one. 💯 I was thinking about it too. Glad I came across your comment.
Love it
What's a rent boy?
@@MonsieurBananaTheBetter a male prostitute
@@MonsieurBananaTheBetter like a male prostitute. There is a theory saying that Don and Owen/Artemus are homosexuals and because homosexuality was banned at that time (1930s), it could be a possibility they were doing it in secret. Hence why the secrecy of his murderer; if it was found out they were doing it, his lover would be behind bars

that’s so creepy imagine the guy who said “come in turn on the lights” was the murderer the guy was lucky he didn’t go in
I mean he did try to go in, but the door was locked from inside and nobody opened it so it probably wasn’t the murderer who said that but Owen himself

I’m guessing this was done by the Italian mob like the mafia. I mean how the mafia torture their victims is somehow similar to the crime scene in the room, and the word “Don” is also another term for Boss in the mafia aswell.

Oh shit 😳
That’s a really good theory... nice job!
Wasn't he tied up?
@@salem7276 they tied him later
@@korrev1108 Don must have found out that he was trying to get help...
This is a disturbing theory that I wouldn't say if I hadn't seen this personally...he might have been in an abusive relationship with a horrible yet intelligent sociopath.
I personally believe this is some sort of mafia operation. Don isn’t just a name, it’s a title for mafia higher-ups. I believe Owen had some sort of leverage against him and was being forced to stay there by Don. Owen’s age could mean this was some sort of initiation gone wrong. Mob ties would also explain the scar and cauliflower ear. And I’m willing to bet the “I’m not hungry” conversation was some sort of code. That’s just my two cents though.
Don isn't a name, it's a title. This is mafia shenanigans. Why else do you think someone could stab and beat someone to death, and STILL protected his murderers identity.
i know right, it seems pretty obvious to me that it's a mafia case.
don *is* a name. it's irish.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who thought this! I thought for sure it was a mafia case!! Don is a title often used in mafia-ish group and it wouldn't surprise me if Owen got into some sort of mess with a Mafia-ish group and ended up being murdered/beaten for it, secondly I believe it isn't that unusual for the group he worked for or the 'Don' to have paid for the funeral as to a mafia group members are still considered family and it wouldn't be an uncommon practice even if he had crossed/upset the group. There was also that quote saying he got himself into a jam? Perhaps some mafia trouble, also explains why the woman could have been nicely dressed as working for that type of group would certainly pay off...
jam art don isn't an Irish name
Roland was a spy, probably from UK. It was 1935. And Don might had found out taht Roland was secretly spying on him for someone else. So he killed him with taht woman. And what Roland was saying about not being hungry was a secret code.

Matthew Poole SAVAGE!!!!

Matthew Poole DAMN. True though, very true.
Matthew Poole so true
"Commercial woman" means prostitute. "Pauper's grave" is a standard term for a local government's burial of bums, prostitutes, junkies, forgotten elderly, & others for whom there is no money for a proper burial (that is, paupers).
Came to comments for this. Glad someone else caught that
Why does someone wants Owen to be buried "properly" instead of in the pauper's grave? Do they do the burial differently there or smth?
does anyone remember the classic The Prince & The Pauper? Disney even did a version with Mickey. Pauper basically means poor
And now, unclaimed Covid-19 victims. Unfortunately it has become a well-known term in the past year. And a 'potter's field' is where they are buried, a term that goes back to the Bible.
yes, a "commercial woman" is a woman who sells herself, otherwise known as a prostitute, harlot or street walker. i'd think that was obvious. you'd think heckle and jeckle, there, would've known that. and "pauper" is just another word for a poor person; powerless, no connections, no money. it doesn't have to be a "bum." it refers to any poor person. "paupers graves", also known as "potters fields," is where they buried ANYONE who couldn't afford a "proper funeral." which is about half the american population. the u. s. has turned into one gigantic potters field.
It's 3 am and I'm on a buzzfeed unsolved marathon, Shane and Ryan's light-hearted conversation is the only thing that's keeping me going

Really
That thing was moving!
August 2017, a friend of mine was found murdered in his apartment. There was blood on the bed and he was found on the floor with some 20-30 wounds, many of them being fatal. Door locked from outside and keys were missing. Police said that this is a "passion crime". If someone wants to murder you, or has to kill you because he wants to steal something, he will most likely deliver 1-3 fatal hits. But when you see a case where the victim had received multiple stabs and has wounds here and there as if the murderer was in frenzy mode then, according to the police officer, the most likely cause is a "jealous boyfriend/girlfriend".
My immediate thought is that Ogletree and Don had a BDSM arrangement that went too far. This would explain the alias and darkness, being the 1930’s. If this was a mob hit, why tie him up naked?
It was Axeman And razorboy.

if he was being attacked or something like that saying/yelling "help" would probably just make the other kill him tho, i think that "come in, turn on the lights" was like a more subtle way so the person would do that and see another person there and then even if that person killed owen then the other one would have seen its face
No, that would mean if he said that it’d be creepy hearing that from some dead guy who already bled to death on the hotel bed in the hotel room! That’s scary!
Awwwww that makes me sad 🥺🥺 they could of been found out that he was dying
this youtuber named "Millennial Magic ASMR" (don't judge a channel by it's username btw), made a video going into the actual POLICE FILES of this case, she has done a lot of research and the video was made last year so it has a lot of new details about this case and also the rather new police files that were leaked, i think she solved the case. if you guys want some answers, i think her video is really insightful

It really is lmao
wait isn’t “don” a term for a mafia leader? so they wouldn’t be calling don” by his name it’s just “the don”.
legit!
My bet that this guy was involved in the local mob and his time ran out. Was only seventeen too, what a tragedy.
That what was going to say
What if the Owen guy murdered he’s fiancé then changed he’s name and the Don guy was he’s fiancé’s brother
literally what I was thinking the moment he said it
So, my question is, since they eventually found out who he was, why didn't they get the info on all these people (surely his mom could have got them started)? Was he engaged? What was her name? Didn't the elevator operator identify visitors to his room. Was the bellboy paid off...why didn't he report this weird situatuation to his manager? Sounds like the cops may have been paid off or were afraid.

I’m still convinced that “don” could actually be a “dawn” or “Donna” since there were fingerprints suspected to be a woman
Gay
Same
I thought they were actually saying "Dawn" until it became obvious they were talking about a man. They sound near enough identical in an american accent.
Womb Raider same! They were talking about someone hearing a man and woman fighting, then about a woman being seen going toward the room, and a woman’s fingerprints being found, but then it was being implied that it was a man and not a woman. I’m pretty convinced it was a woman.
What if they're gay and don was his lover and don killed him so he wouldn't tell his mother or there just gay hunters and the don found him and pretended to be in love then him and he friend showed up and like you but to die because of you gay
Sometimes I can't decide if I want something funny or something mysterious or shocking to watch, now I have people that give me both, I love the bits of humor thrown into these stories!
Love these two guys. Can’t wait to see more of them. Excellent chemistry ☺👍

Who was in the room? Owen: Nobody My dude was murdered by Odysseus
The article about the phone call is just too fantastical. No way someone drops that much information to a complete stranger.
*gets beaten insanely* “I fell in aaaa... gosh.. uh.. a bath tub. man bath tubs these days amiright?”
I died laughing 🤣🤣
What a fall
yeah probably just a scratch...no biggie...😂😂😂
And then I got stabbed by the toilet
I feel like he was apart of the mafia, up until his final breath he said nobody was in the room. That’s something similar to the mafia rule of “not snitching”.
Or gay back in the day.
Sani Sushi that's called The Omerta
Sani Sushi would explain “Don” which could be the mafia boss
@@snowie3946 correct.
A member of the mafia is killed if they’re found out to be gay
i think maybe the worst part of this is that he might have been able to have been saved if that bellboy realized he was injured
I agree with the theory that it was love. Pfft image the headline: “Local gay man kills his boyfriend and pays for his funeral” Yeah Don must have been from Florida.
Wait I just saw the comment that said don means a mafia boss. Dude it would be sooooo cool if we got a gay mafia boss. HEY HOLLYWOOD HIRE ME! I GOT A GREAT IDEA. THE LGBTQ+ WANTS A GAY MAFIA BOSS!

It’s kinda sweet how they never thought “commercial woman” probably meant prostitute.
yea lol that's a good point
Oh that’s what it means
sweet? these people are supposed to know the subject matter they're discussing. yes, a "commercial woman" is a woman who sells herself, otherwise known as a prostitute, harlot or street walker. i'd think that was obvious. you'd think heckle and jeckle, there, would've known that. and "pauper" is just another word for a poor person; powerless, no connections, no money. it doesn't have to be a "bum." it refers to any poor person. "paupers graves", also known as "potters fields," is where they buried ANYONE who couldn't afford a "proper funeral." which is about half the american population. the u. s. has turned into one gigantic potters field.
@@cjmacq-vg8um okay cj, thank you for informing us, you can go outside and touch grass now
@@stormcloudsabound 😂 💀 wth is this guy talking about 😐
For the “no I’m not hungry part” why do I feel like it’s a code word for something?
maybe like “someone’s in here” or “i can’t talk now”
Honestly. It felt like he was speaking in code.
It reminds me of this woman who called the police because she was being abused but she acted like she was ordering a pizza.
Well i saw this theory that owen and "don" were gay and blah blah i think that owen possibly meant "im not hungry as in im not hungry for you" so Don got angry and beat him thats why he had a dark voice. Another theory i have is that owen may have had schizophrenia, And his two "sides or people idk the name" were the opposites and "fought" Thats the reason he may have said he fell on the bathtub because he does not want anybody to know and get "medicine or go to a mental hospital"
Ye me too
why do i watch this at night!!
I always see this channel at night.. and that gives me goosebumps.. but this is freaking scary
My theory: Owen was gay, Don was his boyfriend. He went to the hotel to meet him. Someone from his fiance's side probably saw them and found out about it, which would explain him brushing Don off the next morning with the "I'm not hungry". His murder could be revenge for his fiance mixed with hate for being gay. Could be why Don sent the flowers later and arranged a funeral for him.
Well done...well done.
I agree with this but also think, The person who killed him could have been the fiancés brother. She might have committed suicide (or owned a slot at that cemetery and would be buried there after death.) so the brother felt that having them buried in the same place would be what she wanted. The flowers were probably because of guilt and were used as a way for him to forgive himself for what he did. He probably tried tying him down and stabbing him to death. When he wouldn’t die he bashed his skull in. If your not a cold blooded killer already, doing that to someone (let alone stabbing them in the chest multiple times beforehand) will keep you from sleeping at night. What I don’t understand is why he would be on his elbows and knees holding his head in front of the door. Maybe they left him like that expecting Don to be the person to walk in and find him? Or he crawled towards the door himself and heard it opening and he instinctively protected his head, after so many hits he received to it?
@@omarcarrillo9143 that last sentence is fuckin sad. Hurt my heart.
Okay so related to your theory, here's mine. I think that the female voice was just from the party and there was no female involved. What happened is that the Artemus and Don met somewhere and found out that the other was gay. They then started to have an affair because Artemus was still in a relationship with his Boyfriend Louise who set up the funeral. Don is trying to get Artemus to trust him so that he can then trap him One night Artemus tells Don that he's going to be waiting at a hotel room and he wants to meet him there for a night together. They both agree to check into hotels with aliases to make sure nobody knows they were gay, which Don probably suggested so he wouldn't be found later on either. Don goes in and makes Owen get really drunk until he can't really think straight and this is when he starts getting tied up by Don. Owen thinks its some kinky stuff but he starts to be tortured and hurt. When the other bell boy comes in, Owen (who has been covering himself to minimize pain) thinks that it's still Don so he stays in that position. Don must have told him to not tell anybody about this and threatened him not to tell anybody and Owen must have said "nobody" because he didn't want anybody knowing the reason they were there in the first place and let it get out to Louise. Just my theory.
But then why would he stay in the hotel after he's been found out? Also, this doesn't explain why the fiance (Louise?) would send a flower and card saying "love forever" after having him killed.
Why were they so obsessed with the phone and not even slightly bothered by a guy lying in his pool of blood? Wtf is wrong with the staff?
I agree. If I saw him laying in a pool of blood or dark stuff I definitely wouldn’t just think nothing of it. Maybe if the guy notified the other staff and the police, then Artemus would’ve survived and maybe they would’ve found some more evidence.
@@MrLeroy42 it's easy to say that when you're not in that position yourself, plus like the other commenter said, speaking out of place could've lost you everything. just look at the play 'an inspector calls', lower class Eva looks at middle class Sheila in a way Sheila doesn't like and boom, Eva loses her job.
if the staff had gotten any more intrusive, without real good cause, they would've been fired. these people are trained to not bother the guests. "yep, i heard moans and screams coming from 267. so i barged in and found them making love. ooopps!" you gonna risk your job like that?
if they thought he was drunk, perhaps they assumed the blood was just puke
They see Owen lying in a pool of blood on the bed..."Hey @$$hole, why you keep leaving the phone off the hook? Some people."
i like how they add comedy w all this disturbing stories to make us feel safe 😂

Honestly, he clearly slipped, hit his head on the bathtub, bounced on the bed spreading his blood, stabbed himself on the wooden frame of the bed, got his throat hands and ankles entangled in the phone wire. MORE MYSTERY!
