A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Nadyne Marie Tillman, whose beaten body was discovered at a Key Largo resort hotel. Authorities have charged 33-year-old Dylan Lamb with multiple offenses, including homicide, kidnapping, false imprisonment, and evidence destruction. The case has shocked both the local community and Tillman’s family, as the victim had been missing for several days before her body was found.
Discovery of Tillman’s Body
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call on Monday after family members reported that 43-year-old Nadyne Marie Tillman had not been heard from since Saturday. Tillman, who was in town for her daughter’s wedding, had been staying at the Amoray Dive Resort. Authorities quickly began investigating the situation and discovered that Tillman had met Dylan Lamb, a 33-year-old man, at the resort on Saturday morning. Upon searching Lamb’s room, investigators found Tillman’s body with injuries consistent with being beaten. The discovery was made shortly after family members grew concerned and began searching for Tillman, eventually tracking her phone to the resort.
Family’s Search for Tillman
Tillman’s daughter, Ka Thigpen, spoke about the distressing moments as she sought answers. She mentioned that her mother had been staying in a room next to Lamb’s and that the family had seen him coming and going from the resort over the weekend. Thigpen’s description of the situation highlighted the family’s concern when they realized Tillman was missing. “It’s just scary; it’s too close to home,” Thigpen said, reflecting on the events. She described how her mother had been in town for her wedding on Friday, only to be found dead. Thigpen recounted seeing Lamb at the resort several times, then watching as her daughter tracked Tillman’s phone and began knocking on doors, desperately looking for her.
Arrest and Charges Against Dylan Lamb
Dylan Lamb, a kayak tour guide from Key Largo, was arrested on Tuesday following the discovery of Tillman’s body. He now faces several serious charges, including homicide, kidnapping-false imprisonment, and evidence destruction. Jail records revealed that Lamb, who had been staying at the resort, is scheduled for arraignment on May 13.
The case has left locals unsettled, with residents like Ka Thigpen expressing their fears about the unknown dangers people may face when meeting others, even in seemingly safe settings like a resort. “You never know who you’re going to meet up with, and that’s what everyone should maybe learn from this situation,” Thigpen added.
As the investigation continues, authorities are working to uncover more details about the circumstances surrounding Tillman’s death and any potential motives for the crime. Tillman’s family is left to grapple with the sudden and tragic loss of a loved one, while the community remains shaken by the brutal events that transpired at the Amoray Dive Resort.
