The young couple sneaks off on a romantic getaway to another state.

Their liaison is illicit, a clandestine weekend getaway from his wife and her child.

On a whim, they stop at a hotel which, unbeknownst to them, is hosting a mortician's convention.

They are given the last available room after a late cancellation.

After heading to their room, they are never seen alive again. In a busy hotel with people coming and going at all hours the

couple is murdered in their bed in a bloody and brutal scene. The killer left behind some sinister clues before he or she vanished into the night,

and no one saw or heard a thing. The Gory Tablo the unsuspecting hotel maid encountered the next day

as she entered room 260 was just the beginning. This is a story so twisted, so complex, so unpredictable that even after 40 years of investigation

by multiple law enforcement agencies, the killer remains at large.
