As the case was investigated, police determined an unknown person had registered at the hotel and was given a key card for the room on January 28. Owens had placed an online ad for someone to book a hotel room and he hired the mystery person for an undisclosed amount of money.<\/strong><\/p>\nThat individual gave Owens the key card at about 4 p.m. on January 28.<\/p>\n
About five hours later, Bailey used a rideshare car to get to the MGM Grand. She met Owens by the elevators. The duo went up to the hotel room.<\/p>\n
