They found him alone in a locked Kansas City hotel room. No weapon. No sign of forced entry. Just blood.
In January 1935, a man checked into the President Hotel under the name “Roland T. Owen.” He paid cash. No luggage. No past. Over the next two days, hotel staff noticed strange things, anonymous phone calls, visitors who slipped in and out, lights left burning through the night. By the time his body was discovered, bound and beaten, every clue seemed to point in a different direction. But who was “Roland T. Owen”? And why did he beg for silence even as he lay dying?
When the newspapers finally released his photograph, families from across the country Tried to ID. Weeks later, one woman’s letter arrived with a chilling message: He’s fine. He’s traveling. But Artemus Ogletree wasn’t fine, he was already in a Kansas City grave marked only by a number. It would take years before anyone connected the dots, uncovering the name behind the alias and revealing the secrets he carried from Birmingham to the Midwest.
Rumors swirled of forbidden relationships, blackmail, and a violent lover’s quarrel. Some whispered about a jealous man. Others claimed it was a shadowy organization that punished “deviance.” The trail twisted through coded letters, anonymous phone calls, and a mysterious woman who paid for his funeral before disappearing into history. To this day, the story of Artemus Ogletree feels less like a crime and more like a ghost story, a queer secret sealed behind the walls of a hotel room.
Decades later, his death still raises the same questions. Who was he meeting that night? Why did he hide his identity? And what did his last words really mean? Was Artemus running from someone, or toward something? One thing is certain: the mystery of Room 1046 remains one of the eeriest unsolved LGBTQ+ cases in American history, where every answer seems to echo back with more silence.
