Roland T. Owen checked into a hotel in Kansas City, Missouri in 1935. The staff noticed his very odd behavior but chalked it up to his drinking. One morning, Roland was found tortured and hanging on to his life by a thread. He claimed to have hit his head on the bathtub and said no one else had been in the room. Though, that was clearly untrue. Police found out Roland T. Owen did not even exist. Who was this man? What really happened in room 1046?
