Man Lures 6-Year-Old Girl Into Hotel Room With Snacks & Strangles Her

A man allegedly lured a six-year-old girl into his hotel room with the promise of snacks before strangling her, police have said.

John P. Roberts, 55, has been charged with the first-degree murder of Jasmine Miller, whose body was found under his bed on Saturday.

The little girl had been reported missing by her family who were living at the same extended-stay motel in Taney County, Missouri.

Hundreds of locals had helped conduct a search for Jasmine before her body was found underneath Roberts’ bed in his motel room.

Court records show police believe Roberts may have used snacks to entice Jasmine into his room before killing her.

Officers add that it appears Roberts acted alone.
