The Night Clerk in a Motel

Janet chandeler had surprised her parents when she announced that she'd accepted a job at the blue mill inn. Her roommate and best friend, laurie swank, also worked at the motel and had put in a good word for janet. Access to the front lobby could only be gained by buzzing an electric intercom co workers confirmed that janet was meticulous about making sure the front door was locked at all times. The scenario left police dumbfounded. Robberies weren't unheard of, but robbery involving abduction certainly wasn't a common occurrence.
