In 2010, Greg Fleniken, a 55-year-old oil executive, was found dead inside his locked hotel room at the MCM Eleganté in Beaumont, Texas. He was lying fully clothed on the floor. There were no signs of struggle, no evidence of forced entry, and the room appeared untouched. At first glance, it looked like a natural death — likely a heart attack.
But when the autopsy was performed, the truth stunned everyone.
Greg had been shot. The bullet entered through his scrotum, tore through vital organs, and came to rest in his chest. Yet there was no blood, no gun, and no entry wound visible to the naked eye. The scene made no medical or forensic sense.
Months of investigation eventually led to a startling discovery — a small hole in the wall separating Greg’s room (Room 348) from the one next door.
As it turned out, the fatal shot had been fired from the adjacent room, where a man was showing off a pistol to coworkers. The weapon discharged accidentally, sending a bullet through the wall — and into Greg. Panicked, the men in the next room never reported the shot, leaving investigators with a seemingly impossible mystery… until the wall told the truth.
