There were no signs of forced entry, no obvious wounds, and no indication of a struggle.

Greg had suffered catastrophic internal injuries, leading investigators to treat his death as a homicide. The problem was that nothing inside Room 348 explained how those injuries had occurred.</p><br><p>With no clear suspect, no apparent motive, and a crime scene that made little sense, the case quickly reached a dead end.
