It felt a lot like the Alfred Hitchcock horror movie “The Birds” when hundreds of unusual birds filled the lobby of Hotel Dunsmuir last Monday.
Hotel owner Mark Juarez said he and some co-workers left the hotel around 9 p.m. and returned about an hour later on April 26 to find 600 swifts in the lobby and hallway.
Although Juarez identified the birds as chimney swifts – a common eastern bird – the identification wasn’t confirmed by an expert. The birds could also have been Vaux’s Swifts or Black Swifts, which are more commonly found on the west coast and look similiar to chimney swifts.
The corpse was in “mummified condition,” covered in blankets with Christmas lights placed on it, said Wilson.
“The mummified remains appeared to be set up in some type of shrine” and “have what appears to be glitter type makeup on around the eyes,” according to the affidavits, the Associated Press reported. Investigators searched an SUV on the property and said the back seat was laid down in a position “consistent with someone transporting the mummified remains.”
Wilson said it is “impossible” to guess the time of death because of the body’s condition, but Carlson could have been dead for weeks or more. An autopsy was conducted but results have not been released.
