Woman, 30, Strangled to Death by Hotel Guest During $2,000 Sex Marathon
A woman in Las Vegas, USA, was murdered during a $2,000 hotel session with an Army Veteran client who “snapped” and strangled her, police officers report.
Larissa Garcia, a 30-year-old mother, was killed at the Palms Resort on June 12. The suspect, Jason Kendall, 35, reported himself to police on June 28.
The police report detailed Kendall’s alleged motive for the attack. Kendall claimed Larissa requested additional payment, which caused him to “snap,” the documents said.
“He hit her in the face and choked her for ten minutes before having sex with her,” the documents stated. Afterward, he dragged her away from the door and left. He later called the police to report an overdose.
Kendall allegedly confessed to choking Garcia on June 12. He is now in custody without bail, facing charges of open murder, sexual assault, and battery.
An anonymous caller, not identified as Kendall, reported an overdose inside a hotel room on the day of the murder. Hotel security responded and found Garcia on the floor with a cut on her jaw.
Doctors at Spring Valley Hospital found no alcohol or drugs in her blood, ruling out overdose as the cause of death. Based on her injuries, they suspected battery.
“Upon further inspection, it looks like she was assaulted,” a nurse told the dispatcher shortly after Garcia arrived at the hospital. “We thought it was an overdose, but she is not responding to Narcan or any other drugs.”
“Do we have any suspect information at all?” the dispatcher asked. “No, no one was there, and it was an anonymous caller,” the nurse replied.
Garcia was declared brain dead and died at the hospital a week after the incident at the Palms.
Police discovered that the room reservation was made by Kendall. They later met him at a different hotel, where he refused to provide information without an attorney.
Six days after the initial incident, a nurse specializing in sexual assault trauma reported that Garcia had been strangled and “possibly suffocated.”
Surveillance footage from the Palms shows Kendall meeting Garcia in the lobby around 4 p.m. An hour later, Kendall is seen leaving the hotel alone.
Detectives found messages between Kendall and Garcia and a history of Kendall viewing Garcia’s advertisement, documents revealed. Garcia was a single mother of two, her friends told 8News. May her soul rest in peace.
