KEY LARGO, FL - Authorities with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) said in a Facebook post that a kayak tour guide has been arrested after he allegedly killed a woman at a Key Largo resort and hid her body inside his room.
According to Fox News, 33-year-old Dylan Lamb allegedly killed 43-year-old Nadyne Marie Tillman sometime over the weekend of April 5th-6th after the two had just met on Saturday morning at the Amoray Dive Resort in Key Largo. Deputies said that Tillman's body was found "hidden" in Lamb's room after she was killed with injuries that are "consistent with being beaten."
Tillman's family reported her missing after they didn't hear from the mother since Saturday morning, which wasn't like her. Deputies found her body on Monday morning, April 7th inside Lamb's room at the resort. Tillman leaves behind several children, who she talked about frequently on her Facebook page.
Citing a law enforcement source, the Miami Herald reported that cleaning staff discovered bloodied and soiled sheets in waste bags inside Lamb's room after he checked out. Police were not initially notified and Lamb initially refused to leave his hotel room.
Tillman's body was apparently found inside a crawl space within the hotel room's air-conditioning closet. The law enforcement source said that new guests went about their trip without noticing the body. Lamb has a rap sheet, including pleading guilty to grand theft auto in October of 2024. He was sentenced to one year probation for that crime.
Lamb has now been charged with homicide, kidnap-false imprisonment, evidence-destroying, and procure for prostitute. Ka Thigpen told NBC Miami that her mother was visiting for her wedding on Friday, April 4th and stayed in the hotel room next to Lamb's.
Thigpen said her mother saw Lamb as well as Tillman's daughter, who was looking for her at the resort. Thanks to tracking, Tillman's phone reportedly showed that she was at the resort. Thigpen said, "Her poor daughter came around looking and knocking on everyone's door and from my understanding tracked her mom to this location and found her car, and had been missing for a couple days and no contact with her. They only took one step in and then left and then they came back with crime scene unit."
Thigpen said, "It's just scary, it's too close to home. It's just really scary because you never know who you're going to meet up with and that's what everyone should maybe learn from this situation."
MCSO Sheriff Rick Ramsay said no other individuals appear to be involved, adding, "I want to thank the men and women of the Sheriff's Office for working around the clock to make an arrest in this case. While the investigation remains ongoing, there do not appear to be any other individuals involved in this incident."
Lamb was booked into jail and remains behind bars. His arraignment is scheduled for April 13th.
