One of America’s most bizarre cases – the victim didn’t know he was shot. There was no external wound, so how did the bullet get into his body?

One night in 2010, the MCM Eleganté Hotel in Texas became the center of a case that left both police and forensics baffled. Greg Fleniken, 55, was found dead in a locked room – Room 348. There was no sign of a struggle. No blood. No external injuries. Just a body lying there, with horrific internal injuries that no one could explain

.

The Beaumont police investigated but were stumped. The initial autopsy report was not much help either – his body looked like it had been ravaged from within by a powerful force. No explosion. No collision. A seemingly “unexplained” death.

If it weren’t for the persistence of his wife, Susie, the case might have been forgotten. She hired a private investigator, Ken Brennan – a former secret service agent with a meticulous, patient approach to investigation. And it was Brennan who found the clue that the police had missed.

He examined the room carefully, then expanded his view to the surrounding space. The hotel walls – thin, easy for sound and… bullets to pass through. In the next room, that night, some oil workers had been drinking and playing with guns. A shot “accidentally” went through the wall, straight into Greg’s body. The bullet took a deadly path: from the lower body up, destroying internal organs before stopping.

Did no one hear the explosion? Did no one see the bullet hole in the wall? The questions remained, leaving doubts about the negligence of the initial investigation force.

From a seemingly “supernatural” death, the truth gradually revealed: no ghosts, no fate, just the stupidity of the man holding the gun. But it was the way it happened—a bullet from nowhere, killing a man in a locked room—that made “The Body in Room 348” one of the strangest cases in American crime history.
