    Cliffs:

    His phone number was in her phone.

    She checked into a motel on July 9, checked out July 11, and he checked into that same room on July 12.

    She was alive when burned (ugh).



    She was also said to "frequent" that motel, despite it only being 2 miles from her mom's house. In the other video I posted above, the police implied that they found some details about her which were disturbing.

    I think it's not very hard to figure out that there are only two realistic possibilities as to what was going on there.

    Very sad story.

    Has there ever been a more depressing title than “professional” poker player? For 2%, it’s accurate. For the other 98%, not a dream to chase. I wish she would have married the nice Asian boy who studied engineering down the block.

    Susie Zhao murder: Convicted sex offender charged in death of poker pro

    https://nypost.com/2020/08/05/susie-...-of-poker-pro/

    The 60-year-old Michigan man charged in the death of professional poker player Susie Zhao is a homeless sex offender who met her at a motel the night before her charred body was found, police said Wednesday.

    Jeffery Bernard Morris, of Pontiac, was charged Tuesday with first-degree premeditated murder from his hospital bed in the death of Zhao, a 33-year-old rising poker star whose badly burned body was found July 13 near the Pontiac Lake Recreation Area, the Detroit News reports.

    No evidence has been found indicating that poker or gambling was in any way connected to Zhao’s death, White Lake Township police Lt. Christopher Hild told reporters at a news conference Wednesday.

    “This is not the end of the investigation into Susie’s death, but the beginning of the pursuit of justice for her and her family,” Hild said, adding that investigators are continuing to seek a motive in the slaying.

    Morris is suspected of having met Zhao on July 12 at a Waterford Township motel where she frequently stayed, police said, citing cellphone records reviewed by local and federal investigators.

    In 1989, Morris was convicted of third-degree criminal sexual conduct in Oakland County Circuit Court, according to the Michigan Sex Offender Registry.

    He was arrested in the death of Zhao early Friday after being pulled over on a warrant while driving west of Detroit in White Lake Township, police previously told the Detroit Free Press.

    Hild said Wednesday that Morris was taken into custody based on unspecified evidence found by investigators. The transient man’s last known address was in Pontiac, police said.

    Zhao had stayed at the same motel several times in the month leading up to her death, but it’s unclear how or if she had any connection to or relationship with Morris, Hild said.

    Morris, who remains held without bond, was still hospitalized Wednesday, Hild said.

    Hild declined to elaborate on Morris’ condition, but told reporters he’s expected to be discharged soon and taken to the Oakland County Jail, the Detroit News reports.

    A judge has set a probable cause hearing in the case for Aug. 18.

    Zhao, who was last seen alive by her mother on July 12, had been living in Los Angeles, but moved to Michigan in June to stay with her parents as she confronted “challenges in her personal life,” friends have said.

    Zhao, known as “Susie Q” at the card table, had raked in nearly a quarter-million dollars in poker winnings since 2009, according to an online poker database.

    In her last WSOP event in 2017, Zhao took home $18,693 after finishing in 697th place. Since 2009, Zhao won $187,441 at WSOP events, including $73,805 at the 43rd annual World Series of Poker main event in Las Vegas, where she finished in 90th place, her WSOP player profile shows.

    Update:

    She was raped, beaten with a baseball bat, tied up, and burned alive.

    Ugly stuff. This is what the death penalty is for.

    She met up with Jeffery Bernard Morris sometime shortly after 9pm on July 12, somewhere on Watkins Lake Road. They checked in to the Sherwood Motel at 9:26pm.

    Morris killed her between that time and 5am, and left with the body at that time. His cell phone placed him in the location where he dumped the body. (idiot didn't even turn the phones off.)

    They still haven't stated why the two were meeting. Zhao was staying with her mom at the time, so she didn't need the motel for a place to sleep.

    There was a reference to this story being picked up on a lot of poker forums. Sadly no direct reference to PFA or any other specific site. But it sounds like these guys at least learned something about poker players likely economic situation. All the other major news sites seemed to have missed the obvious lack of money being earned at the tables.

    Update: https://www.hometownlife.com/story/n...er/4635369001/

    A second murder charge was added for Morris.

    They also found that he was watching violent porn videos the night before he met her, presumably giving evidence that he intended to act violently with her when they met up.

    They found "two male DNA profiles" on the body, which has complicated things a bit. I don't think there was an accomplice. Between the DNA of two males and the motel knowing her well (despite her living with her mom just 2 miles away), I think we have a good idea of what was going on with her.

    Trial to be in September

    https://www.cardschat.com/news/jeffe...er-case-99781/

    He can't get the death penalty because Michigan doesn't have it, but it's likely he will spend the rest of his life behind bars, especially because he's already 61.

    Its a shame she couldn't hustle enough to avoid meeting up with random serial killer strangers.

    Pretty enough girl, figured she could of figured it all out without resorting to this.

    Somehow the trial didn't happen in September 2021, as expected. Instead, it will begin next week.

    https://www.tightpoker.com/news/tria...ie-zhao-36846/


    Gotta think it's almost 100% he will be convicted of first degree murder. Given that he's in his 60s, I also can't see him receiving a sentence which would allow him to ever get out of prison or get paroled. Michigan has no death penalty, which honestly is what he deserves.

    The article above is a good one, and describes some things which came out during a September 14 hearing. Among them, he stole zip ties the night of the murder, meaning that he intended to attack and bind her.

    Sentenced to life without parole:

    He claimed he's going to "come back on appeal", but I doubt that will be successful.
