[@howdy4504]

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

[@jaymistry2398]

Hmm then what about Don, ledy's finger prints & punctured lungs?? Just curious

[@Omar_05]

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.

[@tbow13gbr22]

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

[@autumnnz1]

Made my skin crawl to think someone couldve been standing in the shadows

[@amberhart8156]

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

[@9razzler9]

he was summoning whatever energy to get them to come in but didnt realise the locked door. feel so sorry for him

[@Pbg_Gonefishing]

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

[@angel-qu5qq]

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?

[@samgrainger4864]

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

Back before Ricky Goldsworth took over Ryan's ego 💔

[@jelliousbeanus7476]

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.

[@SumitBara]

@@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

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.

[@startariot5648]

i know right, it seems pretty obvious to me that it's a mafia case.

[@lorenprince-davies969]

don *is* a name. it's irish.

[@phoebecarden2581]

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...

[@seanford4985]

jam art don isn't an Irish name

[@delighted2586]

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.

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.

[@ashyyy3999]

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"

[@haristopal8664]

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".

[@trailersparks]

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?

[@xaviersmith4818]

The “Come in. Turn on the lights.” Could’ve been his cry out 💀😭

[@cameronrichardson1576]

Could have just said "Help someone split my head open and I'm dying"

[@kikialeaki1850]

Alex F not that hard to say “help”. He might have actually been in shock, which would make “come in, turn on the lights” make more sense.

[@sueno2779]

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

[@sohaaijaz8227]

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!

[@deja212]

[@W0mbRaider]

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.

[@MiuXiu]

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.

[@allyshirran6168]

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

"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).

[@brontepolydoros606]

Came to comments for this. Glad someone else caught that

[@user-fh5ov4tu2j]

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?

[@johanvajse8410]

does anyone remember the classic The Prince & The Pauper? Disney even did a version with Mickey. Pauper basically means poor

[@squamish4244]

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.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

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.
