Pauline Cerasoli was 71 when she died on September 11, 2010, at a long-term care facility in New Boston, New Hampshire. The death followed injuries sustained in a savage attack in Room 6414 of the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta on February 16, 1996, when she was found badly beaten and strangled with devastating head trauma that left her in a coma from which she never truly recovered.

About two months earlier a hotel maid, Elia Banderas, had been found beaten to death at the same property; investigators noted similarities between that killing and the assault on Cerasoli but stopped short of declaring a definitive connection.

Atlanta police reopened the file as a homicide after her death, and the department still lists the case among its cold homicides. Did anyone in Atlanta around February 1996 see or remember anything unusual at the Westin Peachtree Plaza that could help resolve this case?
