The guest recognized Neal because the day before, he came into the room with another employee to fix an issue with the television, the spokesperson said.

Neal claimed that he entered the room because he smelled smoke and was checking on the victim. However, the night manager did not report this issue to security. Furthermore, no other resident reported smelling smoke.

When officers asked where the room key was, Neal replied that he threw it away, the spokesperson said. The room key was never recovered.
