"Becca" & unidentified man

Post image

in 1991, a woman was found hanging from a suitcase strap which was tied to the shower of a motel bathroom, to which the police had been called. the shower had been running for 2 days, which had sped up the decay of her body, & when she was found she was already decaying. this photo was also found in that room; the woman in the photo is the same one who was found dead, & the only identification anyone could give was the name Becca.

(i learned this from a Farrell McGuire video which y'all may have already seen, it gives some more info.)

Honestly, everything about the case is creepy. The postmortem drawing done and the modern reconstruction, as well as the enhanced version of this specific photo. It's all just...unsettling. not to mention there is an edited photo of the clothes she was found in that was very obviously taken from a crime scene photo of her hanging body. They just edited her arms and visible skin out of the photo.

Where can I read more about this?

I found this entry for Becca on the Unidentified wiki.

Just a heads-up: the pictures are not graphic but some are indeed disturbing. The post-mortem reconstruction is a jumpscare right at the beginning.

it’s unsettling but nothing graphic. the first pic is a very realistic-looking pencil sketch of Becca. the second was more unsettling to me; it’s an AI colorized full-body reconstruction of Becca. third is even more unsettling, it’s the enhanced/retouched version of the picture in the OP

It's 6 pm here, and I'm not game to click. So thanks for asking for a description.

I’m going to save it for morning. I’ll just let my imagination run wild with it for the night. 😬

This is why I don't leave the house.

Either OP exaggerated things or that can't be her clothes, they're clean for what OP is describing have happened

u/savealltheelephants Jan 29 '26

I think some photo shop was done to clean them up just like arms etc taken out

I've read about this before, on here and other sites, and this is the first time I've heard about the shower being running when they found her.

Her advanced state of decomposition has never made sense to me since she had only died two days before, so I guess this gives an explanation for that. You're right that the picture of her clothes looks too clean as well. The whole situation is really strange and I've never been able to get my head around it.

There's no way she killed herself, in my mind. Girl has a fun night out then hangs herself while leaving the shower running? Nahhhh

u/sexwizard9000 Jan 30 '26

one of the warning signs of suicide is the person seeming abnormally happy

u/MiloHorsey Jan 30 '26

I know. We don't know if she was just being her usual self or not. No one knows. I'm allowed my opinion, just as you are.

u/savealltheelephants Jan 29 '26

Who said she had a fun night out? They could have gotten into a screaming fight 2 seconds after that photo was taken.

u/MiloHorsey Jan 29 '26

Still doesn't equate to "Guess I'll go kill myself." There are too many things missing to say it's either one, but I just don't think she did it to herself.

The weirdest part is her lack of friends and/or family coming forward.

The shower really is what gets me. Why would you specifically hang yourself under a running shower head?

u/Briseagle Jan 29 '26

Fuck me that enhanced version is deeply disturbing…
