This is the story of Harry Bodaan, owner of a hotel in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, where a brutal rape and murder
occurred on July 20, 2020. The leading suspect was quickly arrested, but Harry and a third man were arrested days later based on ＂bite mark evidence＂ on the victim’s body.

The murder of Dr. María Luisa Cedeño, head of anesthesiology at Costa Rica’s top hospital, became a national sensation, in part because she was a prominent physician, and in part because Bodaan was one of the best-known foreigners in the country.

Why would a 5-star hotel owner of 20 years suddenly decide to rape and murder a guest that he had never met, and just leave her body there for the staff to find in the morning? The Murder in Room 3 is the definitive examination of this chilling case, a story that explores the dark corners of justice gone wrong.
