In 2012, 24-year-old Military reservist Alvin Bulaoro was reported missing by his family. Two long weeks later, his body is discovered having sustained gruesome injuries, inside a sleeping bag in the backseat of his car in a parking lot in Fallbrook, CA. Through in-depth police work, law enforcement identified the Fallbrook Country Inn, as the location where Alvin was murdered and zeroed in on Marine base Camp Pendleton and a Marine as their prime suspect.

On April 9, 2021, Tina Strader, a housekeeping manager at the Rodeway Inn in Venice, Florida was viciously beaten, with a towel forced down her throat. Using surveillance footage, investigators worked to identify her killer and bring him to justice.
