I always thought it would be cool to buy a couple of motel rooms and live there permanently. I think it would be fun to be able to meet new people every day, then they'd leave and never come back. After this story, I might have to rethink this plan.

KWTX is reporting that the Temple Police asked for our help on the death of a motel owner. On February 12th police responded to the Econo Lodge, 1001 North General Bruce Drive in Temple, at 3:50 a.m.
