Florida Man Allegedly Kills Woman During Date at Resort, Conceals Body in Water Heater Closet, Authorities Say
A Florida man has been charged with murder after allegedly killing a woman during a meeting at a resort hotel in the Florida Keys and attempting to conceal the crime.
Dylan Lamb, 33, was arrested in connection with the death of 43-year-old Nadyne Marie Tillman, whose body was discovered in a closet at the Amoray Dive Resort in Key Largo on Monday. According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a missing persons report at the resort and found Tillman’s body hidden under a water heater. She had been brutally beaten to death.
Lamb, who had been on probation for a previous grand theft conviction, allegedly met Tillman through a sex solicitation website. Investigators learned from Tillman’s friend that she had texted about meeting a man at the resort on Saturday morning but was never heard from again after saying “I’m in” when Lamb opened the door.
A resort employee confirmed Lamb rented the room through Expedia and provided his mother’s phone number. He had checked into the room Friday night but refused to switch rooms when hotel staff attempted to relocate him. Lamb vacated the room on Sunday, leaving behind three large trash bags filled with soiled towels and linens, which were later described as heavily stained with blood, urine, and feces. Unfortunately, hotel staff disposed of the bags without alerting authorities, and the dumpster containing them is now gone.
Tillman’s family grew concerned after she failed to respond to messages, leading her daughter to trace her car to the resort. Police were alerted, and the body was discovered shortly after.
Lamb’s parole officer confirmed he had met with him the day before the discovery. Detectives arrested Lamb at his job as a kayak instructor.
During questioning, Lamb admitted to paying Tillman $200 for sex but claimed she tried to leave without fulfilling her end of the agreement. Lamb alleged that he blocked the door to stop her, and she began hitting him. He said he only hit her once in the face, causing her to fall, hit her head, and lose consciousness. Lamb then claimed he went to the bathroom to calm down and returned to find her not breathing. He said he panicked, tried to clean up the scene, and hid her body in the water heater closet. Lamb also disposed of Tillman’s cellphone and the soiled linens.
However, investigators found that Tillman’s injuries were inconsistent with Lamb’s account, revealing multiple facial injuries, including two black eyes and a busted lip.
In addition to murder, Lamb faces charges of kidnapping, destruction of evidence, and procuring a prostitute. He remains in Monroe County Jail without bond as the investigation continues.
